Step #1: Clear Counter Space By Hanging Shelves

The less you have on your vanity counter, the more space you have to work on.

Rule #3: Invest In Secondary Storage

If you refuse to cut down on your stash, an ottoman with hidden storage or a set of drawers are perfect options for concealing your clutter.

#5: Keep Your Essentials At Arm's Reach

If you use it everyday, keep it where you can access it easily. Store brushes, liner, mascara and other daily essentials in pretty canisters.

#6: Consolidate The Clutter

De-pot your eye shadows, blushes and other products, then consolidate them into a magnetic palette. Now you can rid your vanity of bulky packaging and still keep your favorite products.

#7: Display Your Prettiest Pieces

You can still display your pretty items, but do it in a way that makes your vanity look as beautiful as it is functional. Store palettes in letter holders and smaller items in trinket boxes.
