These 9 Makeup Organizers Make Getting Ready for the Day So Much Easier (2024)

Our Top Picks

This acrylic makeup organizer from Sorbus is our top pick because it’s very spacious and ideal for storing a variety of different products, while keeping everything accessible. We love that the organizer has several compartments, including three large and four small drawers, so you can easily keep beauty products that are similar together.

The top portion of the organizer is dedicated to lip products and bottles you may want to store upright. If you have several lip products you want to keep on display, this organizer is the one for you—not all organizers have this kind of dedicated space for lipsticks that minimizes the need to dig around for the shade you want.

We love the top portion of the organizer that keeps lip products and bottles upright. However, there is only enough space to fit a couple of large products. If you need more storage space, the upright organizer on the top is detachable, though, so you can separate it and store extra products on top of the drawers.

Acrylic is also pretty sturdy and easy to clean, especially compared to fabric, and its see-through nature makes it easy to spot your go-to products or your occasional favorites at a glance. This Sorbus makeup organizer also includes removable velvet liners to keep the inside of each drawer clean, and to keep your products from rolling around too much. You can shop it in two sizes and 10 different colors.

Anyone with a smaller makeup collection, or just a few products and brushes to organize, can opt for this Fanado rotating makeup organizer. It features four compartments and a makeup brush holder in the center. While the compact design is ideal for organizing your everyday products, it doesn’t lend enough space for larger bottles or palettes.

We love the rotating design that makes it easy to access your products, and this pick is arguably more stylish than other turntable options. It has elegant gold accents on the feet and comes in nine different colors. At about $15, it’s also a great option for college students, first apartments, and gifting.

The Sonia Kashuk Double Zip Train Case makes traveling with your makeup a breeze. It has a convenient top handle and zip closure to keep all your products secure. The bag is made with recycled polyester that is easy to wipe clean if your makeup spills or leaks while traveling, too—a perk for a makeup bag that’s made with fabric versus plastic or acrylic.

We love the separate top compartment; it has loops to hold your makeup brushes and a mesh pocket to store other beauty tools. The bag also has plenty of space in the main compartment, so you can easily store large bottles and palettes, and use this makeup case as a toiletry bag, too.

The bag doesn’t have any structure on its own, so you will have to fill it up for it to hold its shape. That said, because it’s not very structured, you can really squeeze it into a suitcase or carry-on bag.

When you’re low on space, a hanging makeup organizer is the best option to keep your products organized. This Bagsmart Toiletry Bag is the best makeup organizer for college life because it offers plenty of storage and can double as a toiletry bag for weekends home. The bag is available in 11 different colors, so you can find the best fit for your aesthetic.

You can choose to zip the organizer up to keep your collection compact, or leave it hanging to keep your products accessible while you’re getting ready. We love that it has enough pockets to store your makeup brushes, hair brush, and skincare products all in one place. However, we wouldn’t recommend this bag if you have a larger makeup collection and need space for more than just your everyday products.

If you’re looking for a makeup organizer that’s particularly stylish and can be a fixture on your vanity, the LoveShackFancy Regency Beauty Organizer is a great choice. The elegant design adds a touch of vintage beauty to any space and makes it perfect for displaying your favorite products. (The brand offers a matching jewelry box, too, so you can fully dress up your vanity.)

The makeup organizer features 16 compartments and three small drawers with bow-accented handles. We love the different size compartments that allow you to easily store lipsticks, perfume, and other beauty products. It’s similar to our top pick that way, but this one has more open compartments versus drawers and has a more traditional aesthetic.

However, the organizer only comes in one color, so keep this in mind if you’re trying to match your existing decor. Our top pick, the Sorbus Clear Cosmetic Makeup Organizer, comes in 10 different colors and costs $100 less.

The Moona Storage Box has a compact, stylish design we think is ideal for those who want every corner of their home to feel effortlessly beautiful. The unique shape and rotating drawers keep your products organized—without overcrowding your dresser or vanity. The opaque drawers also help prevent visual clutter, and enhance the organizer’s minimalist design.

The makeup storage box has a wood top for displaying your go-to products, or even storing your daily jewelry. Inside, the dimensions are perfect for little tubes of lipstick, mascara, or concealer. However, the drawers can’t hold any bottles, so your skincare will have to be placed on top of the organizer.

The storage box is made with poplar wood, so it is durable and won’t break or crack, and ultimately this box is a piece of super-functional decor. It comes in two color combinations: black and natural, or white and natural.

If you’re a beauty enthusiast who needs plenty of storage space, check out this train case from Caboodles. The main compartment is deep enough to store bottles and palettes, while the sliding trays can hold smaller items like lipstick and mascara. Plus, it even includes a large mirror in the lid so it can double as a vanity; with it in hand, you can do your makeup anywhere and everywhere.

The case doesn’t have a compartment to store makeup brushes upright, but you can easily lay them down in one of the sliding trays. Also, the top handle makes it easy to transport the case and bring your collection on the go.

The train case is made with vegan leather in an elegant pinky-beige color, and keeps everything secure with a latch closure. We’d love to see it in other color options, but love its rose gold accents that elevate its overall appearance and make it more solid when it's placed on a table or counter.

This turntable organizer from Brightroom, Target’s very own organizing line, will organize your everyday products without taking up too much space. It’s made with clear plastic that’s easy to wipe clean, and we ultimately love how it’s super versatile; it can fit skincare bottles, lipsticks, brushes, and more.

The organizer has a separate compartment to hold your makeup brushes upright, similar to the other turntable-style option on our list, the Fanado 360° Rotate Makeup Organizer. However, it’s a bit more compact and the acrylic material makes it more simple in design.

The acrylic plastic is, again, easy to wipe clean, so you don’t have to stress about makeup stains. However, it can be difficult to get to the bottom of the brush holder to clean it.

_{Dimensions: 5.88 x 7 x 7 inches | Material: Plastic | Color Options: Clear}

From the same brand as our favorite makeup organizer, this wood Sorbus makeup organizer really puts all of your go-to products in one spot. It has a mix of large and small compartments, and can easily hold some tall bottles. Three slots at the top of the organizer can also be used for makeup brushes, combs, or toothbrushes.

You’ll want to give this makeup organizer a dedicated spot on your vanity or bathroom countertop, but it has a turntable design so you can easily access your products. Made with bamboo wood, this organizer is durable and won’t break or crack, but it only comes in two colors: gray and tan. But, both colors have a rustic charm that complements home decor.

All this said, the rotating makeup organizer may be too bulky if you don’t have a lot of space on your counter or vanity. You’ll also want to be careful to not overfill the compartments, since it’s easier for items to fall out when it spins than it is with the Brightroom Turntable Beauty Organizer.
