Creating a vanity that's Instagram-worthy, true to your personal style, and functional can be a tricky task. Cool makeup organizers for a unique vanity are hard to come by, but they do exist. You may be under the impression that your perfect makeup organizer might be as elusive as a unicorn, but, what if I told you that your ideal makeup organizer is within easy reach?
Blame it on social media making it simple to peek at people's interiors, or the seemingly ever-growing number of inspiring MUAs on Instagram — makeup organizers appear to be a fashionable item found only on the trendiest of beauty babes' vanities. These things are awesome for myriad reasons and allow you to show off your impressive makeup collection while staying super neat. If you're into makeup and pride yourself on running a tidy household, a makeup organizer makes a must-have addition to your vanity.
If you take a look at the shelves of your local homewares store or the hashtag #makeuporganizer on Instagram, you'll likely find the most popular makeup organizer is the clear, cuboid style. While this is stylish and enables you to see all of your makeup at once, it's not exactly the neatest looking storage system, and they're perhaps not as neat as you'd like.
That considered, here are some cool makeup organizers to make your vanity more unique to you.
