HOW TO ORGANIZE A MAKEUP BAG

Either your foundation leaks, shadows and powders crumble and makeup brushes are left damaged.

Learn how to minimize the messy disaster and save the headache.

First you want to look inside: A makeup bag that has nylon lining is the easiest to clean rather than cotton or leather lining. Keep makeup remover wipes in your bag so if anything were to spill, it can be easily cleaned.

Secondly, you want to double check: The crucial step in preventing a disaster is to double check that all the lids are tightened "been there done that." Any compacts that have hinges that don't close properly should be placed in a ziplock bag as well as eye liner pencils. We all have that one eyeliner pencil that the lid just wont stay on anymore. Save the broken pencil and place it in a ziplock bag also. Don't overload your makeup bag as this will easily damage other belongings that are in it.

Thirdly, you want to sort your makeup brushes: To keep your brushes clean and harm free, place your makeup brushes in a brush roll. If you don't have a brush roll or your bag is too small, simply stash brushes by type in long, narrow snack size ziplock bags to prevent damage and contamination. 

The last step: Once a month, empty your makeup bag and flip it inside out and give it a good wipe down with a paper towel and a mild soap. Every season {4 times a year} do an overhaul. Switch things up and slip in a new lipstick or gloss and an eyeshadow that's hot for the season.
