1. A six-drawer, acrylic countertop makeup organizer that will save you *so* much counter space. Plus, you can easily see what’s what, and you won’t have to dig around for 25 minutes trying to find your favorite mascara.
2. A super-slim storage cart to store all of those excess foundations, eyeliners, and cream blushers. Yes, you already have Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in six different shades, but they just released a new colorway that’s perfect for summer, so you’ll need somewhere to keep it all. You can slide it into even the smallest of gaps, or you can dismantle it and tuck it into your cupboard.
Promising reviews: “This was perfect for what I needed — a small space to store beauty supplies and makeup and get it all off the bathroom counter. I did not add the rollers on the bottom because of the height it would add. Liked this so much I bought two more.” —Hailey K
“This has transformed the way my bathroom looks in the best way. I have nothing on my floor and on top of my toilet anymore, and it really just makes everything look 10x cleaner!! I wish I would have bought this sooner, it literally will do wonders for whatever it is you need to keep clean and organized. (just make sure you’re getting the right size, and you’ll be golden!!)” —Monika Fia
Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in three colors).
3. A sneaky behind-the-door cabinet for even *more* storage space without taking up any precious bathroom vanity real estate. It’s slim enough so it won’t block your door but still has ample space for storing everything from makeup to shower gel to skincare.
Promising reviews: “I love this cabinet!!! I put it on my bathroom door and it’s like a huge medicine cabinet for all of my makeup and essentials. I have recommended this to several friends, and a couple have even purchased their own.” —Karla
“I have the smallest bathroom ever with virtually no storage. I was having to store my bath products in my bedroom closet. I love having all my products in the bathroom now. I love the fact that you use the door hinges to hang the cabinet, so there is no damage to the door. It was very easy to assemble and hang. I like that it holds a lot, but all of your stuff is not on display.” —karen crawford
Get it from Amazon for $219.99.
4. A stunning makeup vanity set complete with a lightbulb mirror because your life’s a movie, and you’re the main character. There’s plenty of storage space, and it even comes with a cushioned stool.

Promising reviews: “Oh my goodness. 💜💜💜 I love this beautiful vanity. The brown stain is deep and smooth and without blemishes. It’s perfect for me. I love how it is compact and small and holds all my makeup just right. If you prefer a smaller vanity, this one is probably the one you want.” —Rose Stevenson
“I absolutely love this vanity! I have a bad back and this table is perfect to keep my back from hurting while standing to do my hair and makeup. Although I didn’t place the lights in the exact place per instructions. It does provide ample light. I would definitely recommend this vanity to anyone.” —P. Knight
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three colors).
5. A rotating storage organizer that’ll ensure your skincare and makeup stay neat and tidy instead of being strewn in an overstuffed drawer.
Promising review: “This product is amazing. It looks attractive, doesn’t take up too much space, and holds a lot of stuff! Everyone needs one of these for all those little makeup and perfume bottles and facial products like serums, moisturizers, etc. There is also enough space between the shelves for small bottles of hair care products and bath and body products.” —AnnieRae
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
6. A clear and compact cosmetics organizer that’s not just limited to cosmetics, FYI. Yes, your foundations and mascaras will look great in here, but this bb is also perfect for organizing your office supplies, jewelry, and those bits and pieces you don’t know what to do with. Basically, anything that’s small enough to fit.
Walmart
Promising review: “I bought this product to help me organize my makeup, and it works great! The side compartments are great for standing up brushes, mascara, etc., and the clear look helps you see where everything is. The drawers are roomy and can fit several things. So far, I love my purchase!” —Haley
Get it from Walmart for $25.
7. A set of minimalistic drawer organizers so you can keep your makeup in neat little lines and stop your lip glosses and eyeliners from rolling around every time you open the drawer.
Amazon
Promising review: “I am not the most organized, and these really helped me get cleaned up. There are so many size options. My makeup drawers now look like they’ve been professionally done. Great way to spring clean!” —Joanna
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available as a set of five, 10, 15, or 20).
8. A marble-patterned brush cup for keeping your contour brushes and many, many eyeshadow brushes in order. Seriously, there is nothing worse than being in the middle of a smokey eye and realizing you misplaced your crease brush.

BuzzFeed writer Clara McMahon is a fan: “That’s my vanity/desk/bedroom-sitting area up there! I bought these cups a couple of years ago when my makeup collection was bursting at the seams (hi, I’m an avid beauty consumer👋) and was in need of some serious reorganization. I picked the marbled cups in pink and green for three basic purposes: (1) I was able to designate spaces for my face brushes (pink) and eye brushes (green), (2) I was looking for some fun pops of color in my bedroom, and (3) they added plenty of fuel to the “Cosmo and Wanda ain’t slick” fire. And while I use them for makeup brushes, I’m sure they’d work well as pencil cups in your workspace or utensil holders in your kitchen!”
Get one from Amazon for $10.59+ (available in 17 designs).
9. A handy tiered lipstick organizer that can hold up to 40 (!!!) lipsticks. If you’re anything like me, you collected MAC lipsticks in your teens and can’t bear to let go of your decade-old dried-out Velvet Teddy.
Promising review: “I love this item. I keep my lipsticks in front, and mascaras and other items in the back. The incline of the rack is the coolest feature. I can leave the rack on a shelf and find everything easily. I plan to order another one dedicated to brushes. The price is more than worth it. I saw similar but smaller products at a popular outlet/discount store…it was smaller and more money. Even if you don’t have 40 lipsticks, it holds so much more. I think anyone would love this item as much as I do.” —AcousticChick
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes).
10. A pastel-hued vanity organizer so you can neatly store your bottles, tubs, and tubes in serious style.
Amazon
Promising review: “Until I received this cosmetic organizer, I had everything in a basket that I had to dig through daily to find what I needed. This organizer has changed that game completely, and I love it! It holds WAY more than it looks like it would, and I can easily pick up exactly what I need. Love it!” —Sharon Torbert
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five colors).
11. A gorgeous mirrored and gold-trimmed tray to give your countertop a vintage-esque vibe. There’s a ton of space to organize your everyday makeup products, so you can simply grab them each morning without having to rifle through your full collection.
Promising review: “Very good quality and a timeless design! I can picture myself using it for years unless my perfume collection outgrows it. 🤩🤩🤩 The bottom doesn’t have any feet, but it does have a felt lining so it doesn’t scratch your furniture.” —Professional Shopper Girl
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four metal finishes).
12. A genius 2-in-1 Lay-n-Go makeup bag perfect for when you’re on the go. The bag transforms into a lay-flat mat so you can keep everything in one place. That means there’s less chance of leaving your $40 foundation on the hotel’s bathroom counter.
Promising review: “As an avid traveler with a lot of cosmetics and moisturizers, I had to resort to using plastic Ziploc bags to hold it all because my pretty carriers just took up too much room in my carry-on bag. This is so wonderful to just loosen it and place it on the hotel counter and everything is there and can be easily organized for my stay. When ready to leave, I just tighten the strings! Plus it makes the hotel bathroom look so much more organized rather than my placing the items on one of their hand towels on the counter. Kudos on an awesome product!” —Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes and 23 colors).
