Show Your Style
Moisturizer, pill bottle, lip gloss, nail polish — all these beauty essentials have a humorous way of going from the store to the bathroom counter in a flash. I bet if you're like most beauty enthusiasts, your makeup area is a mishmash of beauty products. And if they're not piled (messily) scattered around your bathroom, your products may be taking up space in your drawer, cluttered and almost impossible to close. Or they're tucked away in a makeup bag. With all the fun little things, even art for today's products, it's a tragedy when they're not proudly displayed in a way that's not only organized but also eye-catching.
Keeping your makeup counter clutter-free can make a bathroom cleaner. Being organized helps you keep track of all the small beauty items that you've surely researched and spent money on. There are many stylish ways to arrange almost everything in your bathroom, and beauty products are no exception. Yes, a neat and tidy makeup bag is a great place to store your items. But then you'll miss out on the opportunity to be creative, to incorporate your products into your space decor.
There are many creative ways to do that — creative stands, jars with special details, and found objects. It can be as simple as looking at an item in a new way. Cake stand? It just becomes a beautiful spot to showcase your favorite products. Organizing lipsticks? It certainly serves its purpose in that regard, but what if it's a place to store your essential oils? Vases, small baskets, trays — almost anything can work as an organizing tool for outer beauty.
Diary writers, social media users, and sellers have discovered some genius ways to display beauty products. Here are some favorite ways to showcase your products.

Vintage Jars
Mason jar decor has many practical functions. Of course, they've been used to can for decades, but who knew they could also be glass terrariums, or even cupcake holders and light bulbs? Turns out they're also ideal containers for your beauty tools, like brushes and lipsticks. Here, the jars are elegantly painted in bronze. You can make your mark on vintage jars by painting patterns or spraying them in your favorite colors.

A Branch Organizer
This owner goes for beautifully simple arrangements and, "why didn't we think of that?". Drill holes are just right for makeup brushes and lip gloss tubes, displayed in asymmetrical corners to add visual appeal. Many things can be crafted to do the same, like a thick piece of reclaimed wood.

Makeup Tray
It hasn't been around much longer than the makeup tray. They seem to have been used forever by chic women, elegant dressers, and even fashionistas. They can even be made from an old picture frame. But we especially love this tray for its nested options — so chic! And while this tray doesn't have the traditional reflective surface, at least you won't have to wipe this one every day.

Magnetic Board
What's next on the agenda? This magnetic board helps keep your products always in sight for easy access. The background patterns look like old-style paper with typed words. Magnetic objects easily stick on, and for non-magnetic items, you can attach small magnets. You also have the option to recreate this board, using magnetic paint and a bit of ingenuity.

Transparent Storage
Frequently seen on blogs and Instagram feeds, they're clean, classic, and allow you to see those vibrant products instead of hiding them away. And you'll be able to see everything you have instead of rummaging through clutter or digging to the bottom of a makeup bag.

Modern Shelf
You can always display your beauty products on a shelf, such as items that can complement your bathroom or standard straight-edged products that you buy from a large box store. Or you can hang one that can rotate, like this small geometric-shaped display unit. A shelf like this will definitely add aesthetic appeal to a space. Think beyond typical shelves and instead try a pioneering shelf. It will make your products look much better.
