My Makeup Storage

Last weekend, I decided that it was time to sort out my make-up once and for all. I kind of intended to do this when I moved in, but we've been here almost six months now and it was getting beyond a joke; I basically had everything stacked together in one box, with no lid, which meant I had to dig through every time I wanted to find something, and things got dusty very quickly. You can see in the photo below what a mess everything was, and how much better it looks now!
I started by emptying everything out of the box and giving it a good wipe to clean the dust off. Then I sorted into eyeshadows, lip products, and face products. I liked the system I already had for my larger palettes, which are stored in a letter rack from Wilkinson's, so I decided to stick with that. Similarly, my everyday make-up brushes are in a pretty re-purposed jam jar, which I didn't want to change, my primers are for the most part in a pen pot which matches the letter rack, and I have a desk tidy which holds mascaras, eyeliners, and lip crayons/ lipglosses - I didn't want to change any of these things, so I just gave everything a good clean and left as it was. In fact, all I really changed was to empty the big box onto my bed and carefully re-sort it into a three-tier stacking plastic box which I bought from Aldi; it's not the prettiest of solutions, but it works for me! I moved the empty box into the top drawer of the chest of drawers, and used it to hold samples and little jars containing hair grips, rings, etc. I also unplugged my hair dryer and straighteners, which I rarely use, and moved them into the drawer to get rid of the mess of wires everywhere.
Doing my make-up is so much nicer now I don't have to sift through heaps of products to find what I'm looking for, and it's nice to have a bit more space on the chest of drawers - my boyfriend definitely agrees!
How do you store your make-up? Do you like to reorganise it or do you stick with one system?
