So today I thought I would share with y’all how I store my makeup while living in my dorm. I keep everything in this 5 section storage drawer, which I find to be easy and convenient for when I get ready for class in the mornings. I have all of the drawers separated by each type of makeup product and I go through my makeup routine in descending order of the drawers. Whenever I bought these drawers, I didn’t remember to measure the length of my Naked palettes, so that’s why I have them stacked on top of the drawers, in front of my perfume basket.
In the first drawer, I have all of my foundation, concealers, primer, and applicators such as a beauty blender sponge and a small kabuki brush. (P.S. I have a lot of Mary Kay products because my Mom used to sell it.)
I start applying my makeup by first using primer, foundation, and concealer to even out my face.
In the second drawer, I have face powders, blush, and bronzers/highlights along with various brushes to apply them. My favorite product out of this drawer is the e.l.f. Golden Bronzer quad.
After I use the products out of my face drawer, I use the powders in this drawer to set everything and contour/highlight.
In the third drawer, I keep all of my lipsticks, glosses, balms, and also my eyebrow pencil, brush, and tweezers. My favorite lip balm is the Honeysuckle Honeydew eos and my favorite lip color, especially for fall and winter, is the NYX soft matte lip cream in Copenhagen.
After I set my face and contour, I just use the eos on my lips for class and I darken my eyebrows.
In the fourth drawer, I have eyeliners, mascaras, eyeshadow primer, and a setting spray. I am currently loving the Falsies push up drama mascara to add length to my lashes.
After I do my eyebrows, I put on eye primer and eyeshadow using the original Naked palette and/or the Naked 2 palette. I then use eyeliner and mascara to finish of the day’s look. To set everything I just put on, I use setting spray to keep my makeup in place.
In my fifth and final drawer, I keep all of my nail polishes and nail care tools. My favorite nail polish right now is the coolest shade, Essie’s For the Twill of It, in the top left corner.
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about how I store my makeup and the little insight I gave to my daily makeup routine. Since this is my first makeup related post, let me know if you liked it!
( P.S. Starting this week, I plan on posting bi-weekly on Mondays and Fridays around 7pm central time. I have the most free time on these two days during my school schedule, so this way I will be able to post more content. )
