I'm going to go ahead and take a wild guess that your current makeup storage situation is something out of Martha Stewart's worst nightmare. Probably two or three ridiculously old, powder- and foundation-encrusted zip pouches that sit on the back of your toilet or shoved under the sink next to your mouth wash. Am I getting close?
Listen—your makeup deserves better than this. You deserve better than this. You're a grown-ass adult! Get yourself some legit makeup organizers that not only serve a really good purpose, but also look crazy pretty and Instagrammable on your vanity. Or desk. Or toilet tank. And to help narrow your search down from one-billion to eight, I scoped out the very best of the best storage cases, stands, and shelves to get you started.
Now please; throw away those pouches—or burn them. I'm not picky.
