How To: Organise your Makeup

Good afternoon our lovely readers, hope you're all well?

& Happy 1st of May!!

Me (Ayesha) and Nazma thought it would be a good idea to share with you how we organise our makeup including what we use to organise everything. We've seen so many Youtube videos and blog posts on how others organise theirs and to be honest, we found it really helpful when it came to organising our own plus they're so enjoyable to watch (are we the only ones?)

We'll make sure we link everything below, if we've forgotten anything that you'd like to know, comment below this post or let us know on our instagram @houseofdemure!

So this is our dressing table, me and Nazma share (not the chair.. Nazma is usually stood up, I get the chair HAHA!) 

The dressing table is the famous IKEA MALM Dressing Table, really affordable, does the job, isn't too big or too small and comes in Black too I think. The only negative is, we have problems with the draw that pulls out, it bolts out of place all the time and it stops in an awkward place which makes it hard to get to the back of the draw but other than that we love it.

These clear aryclic draws are what we use to put our 'most reached for' products in. The draws are from good ol MUJI (we seriously love that place). The first 4 small draws going horizontally come together (can be stood up or layed flat as we have them) and the 3 draws underneath also come together. These aryclic draws are perfect for makeup, nail polishes and jewellery. MUJI have such an impressive selection, they vary in dimensions and the quality is amazing so in our opinion they were well worth it.

On top of the draws we put our foundations that we wear more or less everyday (sometimes we opt for a BB cream or tinted moisturiser, which all live in the draw of the dressing table along with everything else that we don't usually reach for everyday). We also have our Banana powder and beauty blender on top.. Not forgetting Nazma's big jar of jelly beans!

First 4 pull out draws (from left to right) -

1. Liquid eyeliners/pencil eyeliners/eyebrow gel/eyebrow wand

2. Mascaras

3. Cream/liquid lipsticks

4. Lipliners

2nd draw - Lipsticks

3rd draw - Face products (Bronzers/Blushers/Highlighters and Eyebrow kits.)

4th draw - Concealers/Correcters/Gel eyeliners/Sharpener/Eyelash glue/Eyebrow plucker/Other random eye products.

This post should really be called 'How We: Organise Our Makeup' as it's not necessary how you need to have yours. I wouldn't say we're the most organised people in the world (Nazma is a lot more than I am.. Oops) but it's the worst when you're in a rush and can't find what you need, besides it looks so much prettier when it's organised. So we hope you benefit from this or even pick up some ideas to revamp your own dressing tables/makeup areas/vanities (if you're American).

Our KIKO Haul will be our next post.

Bye for now!
