make-up brush storage

Friday 5 October 2012




I'm definitely not one of those girls who has about a million make-up brushes. I tend to stick to the essential ones and make do. Everyone has a different way of storing their make-up brushes...in a brush roll, in their make-up bag or scattered everywhere on their dressing table! This is how I store mine. 

I got this container thingy from a storage store and I believe it was about £3 and then I tied an old Glossybox ribbon around to make it more girly. To make them stand up, I just poured in some uncooked rice into the container and now they stand up! Believe me when I say that they're not always as tidy or clean  as shown in the photos! I try to keep my large face brushes at the back and then my eye brushes in some form of neat fashion at the front. Pretty simple huh?

How do you store your make-up brushes?

  2. OK, I NEED to do this. I have somehow collected SO many brushes and recently did a clear out and threw away ones that were rubbish, but am still left with loads. Eek. It's such a pain ti find brushes because there's so many, but when they're all neatly separated like this, it must be so much easier! Great idea x

    1. I try to keep them in some sort of coherent order but they end up all muddled up by the middle of the week!
