I dont have a picture, but Im a fan of the drawer organizers that come in different sizes and sections. You can stick them in a drawer and it helps seperate things. Look online at the container store. They have A TON of storage stuff and some is specifically for cosmetics!

Since my collection is still kind of small, I organize it with one of those plastic drawers. I am hoping to invest into a drawer tower! Ahh my dream. :)

I have two of those little three-drawer organizer things for eyeshadows and blushes and such. And then I use those pencil cup holders for eyeliners, brushes, mascaras, lipglosses... basically anything in a tube. It is kind of overflowing at the moment, always looking for new ways to organize!

I recently bought a kaboodle case for my makeup and I love it! Kinda reminds me of when I was in my pre-teens lol ^_^

I just have mine stored in two train cases and a caboodle right now. I don't have the kind of storage I would ideally like to have since I moved. I want to get a vanity to replace my desk so I have drawers. If I had my ideal set up, i love the ikea cabinets a lot of gurus have, and there is also a desk/vanity i really like that they have. And for organizing in drawers I tend to buy stuff from office supply stores and goodwill. I found a cute like pencil/paperclip organizer that is actually from target and was brand new with its price tag and I got it for 2 bucks at goodwill. I put my brushes and little perfumes in it on my bathroom counter. I got one of my traincases at goodwill as well for 5 dollars, and its actually nicer than the one my sister bought me for my birthday that was 30 bucks.

i have a rolling train case i got from yazmo...love it

My makeup storage is basically a super sized tackle box that I got from the container store! It has 4 drawers with individual compartments. I have all my pigments in one drawer, eye shadows in another, face products in another, and misc things (lashes, fake blood, etc) in the last drawer

@ Laura B: I'd kill for shelving like that in my bathroom! Lucky girl! Only advice I'd say is I heard it's not so great to store makeup in the bathroom because of the moisture creating bacteria.

I have my makeup stored in a corner of my bedroom in three black 3-drawer Steralite carts with small containers from Walmart to store things by type of makeup...for now. Lol. I feel my collection is constantly growing and may need a different type of storage. Kinda messy but it's working for now. :)

this works for me :) first drawer: eyeliners, mascaras, lipsticks, glosses. second drawer: face products. third drawer: eyeshadows

I havea pretty massive collection and not a lot of room. i bought one of those over the door organizers that are supposed to be for shoes and put my makeup in there, organized by type of product. i put palettes under my sink standing up and I have a small caboodle that has my everyday products in it (foundation, powder, eyeliner, mascara). so, i pull the caboodle out everyday and pick and choose from my shoe rack.

you all are awesome for sharing how you all store your goodies! =)

My makeup is all stored in my bathroom on a shelf, and the rest in the drawer of my vanity in my bedroom. I know they say it's bad to store your makeup in the bathroom because of steam causing bacteria but if you shower with the bathroom fan on that shouldn't be an issue!

On the shelf I just have acrylic makeup holders to hold my lipsticks and blushes and the rest is just neatly arranged. My brushes are in a small, glass jar.
I will post a photo tomorrow! XO
