Pretty and practical ways to keep your products neat and tidy

Whether you’re a palette hoarder or a make-up minimalist, a good beauty storage system is crucial to dressing-table harmony. After all, the last thing you need is to be rooting around for that eyeliner at eight in the morning.

When it comes to make-up storage that also looks chic, there are options: you just need to know where to look. For something as pretty as it is practical, consider a gilt-edged holder for brushes and pencils, or a lacquered tray for displaying filigree fragrance bottles. Something a little more pared-back? Meet the acrylic make-up storage box: these hyper-practical options come in all shapes and sizes and are crystal-clear, meaning you can locate any product with ease.

Below, see the very best make-up storage options from across the internet...

Just because beauty organisers have to be practical, it doesn't mean they have to be boring. Personalise your beauty area with an initialed brush pot from Bridie Hall.

This minimalist beauty organiser has more to it than meets the eye; Not only does it feature a removable mirror with 3x magnification and open storage on top – perfect for smaller compacts such as blusher and bronzer – but it also features a hidden space for cotton buds, pads and other tools.

These Scandi-inspired folding crates have been cropping up across Instagram, and it's hardly surprising: they come in a range of shades and sizes, are easily stored away and surprisingly sturdy.

Not just a chic style statement, Net a Porter's Beauty Fridge features three shelves and a door compartment to keep your serums, moisturiser and face massage tools cold and refreshing.

Keep your most-treasured items on display in this slimline dressing-table display box.

This multi-compartment gold and glass beauty organiser is surely the most elegant way to store your beauty products. The two drawers are perfect for keeping compacts and eyeshadow palettes, while the open sections at the top allow you to store your foundations and lipsticks upright.

Emulate The Home Edit's famously good organising skills with these drawer inserts. This one can be expanded to suit the size of your dresser (and accommodate a growing make-up collection).

This comprehensive organiser boasts compartments to fit every component of a modern day make-up routine. Simply place it into your drawer and never spend more than five seconds looking for the right shade of lipstick.

Stop your brushes from becoming grubby in your make-up bag with this four-space holder. It's particularly useful for holding your tools post-cleaning as they dry too.

Serious skincare collections require a supersized storage solution, and this may just be the one. The transparent acrylic means you can see everything instantly, while the lower drawers are ideal for storing smaller essentials.

Your beauty products don't have to become jumbled just because you're on the move. The Flat Lay Co.'s innovative make-up bag allows you to see everything it contains by opening out flat, before the drawstring mechanism secures it back into a bag again.

H&M's gilt-edged glass organiser is ideal for both brushes and foundation bottles.

For something that makes more of a statement, look to brilliant storage line Mustard Made. These vintage-style lockers come in a range of matt colours and are perfect for stashing a serious make-up collection or set of hair tools.

Arket's pastel-hued glass jars would make a chic storage solution for your make-up brushes, pencils and mascaras.

If you need plenty of space to store your make-up, you'll love this five-tiered organiser with space for 12 lipsticks on top, as it allows you to keep cosmetics of all shapes and sizes super neat.

For larger palettes or bathroom toiletries, these rattan storage boxes are an aesthetically on-point option.

Organisation obsessives will love these genius foldable make-up bags. Unfasten the zip to expand the interior and find your entire kit laid out in front of you, so you can see everything you need at once.

These simple but effective glass pots take up relatively little space on a shelf and can be utilised to hold everything from brushes and lipsticks to liners and pencils.

Display your lipstick collection with this handy divider that can hold up to 24 different lip colours. That means no more forgetting or misplacing your favourite go-to shade because it's hidden somewhere in your cluttered drawers.

This unassuming case from Beautifect opens up to reveal an illuminated mirror, four generous compartments and a fold-out brush holder. A worthy beauty organiser for at home and on the go.
