First it does depend on the size of your makeup collection/ beauty products.(I have a lot of hair care products and extra shampoos and things like that) The first thing that I did when I started this whole process, which took me almost a day to do, was go through all of the products that I had and anything that I had not worn in over a year I would put in one pile, anything that was new but I knew I would never use I put into another pile, and anything that I wanted to keep/ used on a daily basis I put into my final pile.
The next thing I did was determine what was expired in the products that I had. Which how I determine if it has expired or not is by smell, the look (if it has separated, lost pigment, clumpy, ect.),and then by seeing if there is a date on the product that I am looking at. This normally is the best way that I cut down on all of the makeup that I never use or have used to much. The next pile that is stuff that is new that I would never use I give to my sisters, I recently gave away all the foundation that I had purchased before I found the one I love which I will be making a post on that so I am not going to go into too much detail, I also gave her some of the perfume that I had and some eyeshadow that I knew would look beautiful on her hazel eyes!!
The final pile I put aside to be organized later. I then began to move things off of my desk and out of these plastic dressers that I had originally put some of my clothes in, however I also went through those and didn't need as big of a dresser so I put them in a smaller one. I then stacked them next to my desk and started to sort my products into categories.
The first was perfume and lotion and deodorant. Then next was hair spray, then it was hair products such as oils or leave in conditioner, the next was just a drawer full of my nail polish and razors and then some lip scrubs that I had gotten from Victoria's Secret, the next drawer was full of shampoos and shower stuff. And then the last two were for random stuff.
The next thing that I did was organize the top of my vanity and decide what I would put on top to make it look nice. You can do this with anything that you have be it pictures or a fancy mirror or something that means something special to you that makes you feel happy. I have my grandmothers music box on mine along with my wedding bouquet and pictures of my family and the first flowers my husband ever bought for me.
Then start to organize the rest of your makeup I like to keep my everyday go to makeup in a little container on the top so that I don't have to rush around to look for something if I am in a hurry and need to do a look fast. Then you just need to organize the rest in the order that meets your needs and then that's all you have a beautiful desk that you can be excited to work at!
