makeup

as promised, contents inside my makeup collection.

for the eyes

eye shadows

eye shadows from everyday minerals occupy almost 1/2 of the drawer. i had so many because one of the order was a sample kit. i think 10 for $17 (or $18?). this kit is no longer available.

i probably need another drawer to store my eye shadows. the reason i got this organizer is because of the shallow drawers. i could layout eye shadows in a single layer where i could easily see the colors and pick what i want to use. now most of the one stacked on the bottom layers are neglected.

pencils

eye makeup drawer 2. mostly eye and eye brow pencils. and some shadows overflowed from the above drawer.

for the face

blushes and bronzers

blushes and bronzers. this drawer used to be quite empty because i rarely used blushes. now i rely on them to give me some colors on my face. to make me look less sick.

my least used product is bronzer. i don't know why i buy them. i don't like tanned nor sunkissed look. i'm typical asian who likes looking pale.

for the lips

lipsticks

this drawer used to be so filled up. only so much left after the previous big clean up. i haven't bought as much lipsticks as i used to, so this drawer is still under controlled.

lipglosses

the lip gloss drawer. another still under-controlled drawer after the previous clean up. there was one stage i was crazy about shiny lip look. i kept buying tubes and tubes of glosses. nowadays i rarely use gloss.

miscellaneous

foundations and etc

this is a deeper drawer. for foundations and anything too big to fit in the shallow drawers.

see the big tin at the back. it's loose powder from shu uemura. it's huge! it's now sitting there collecting dust since i switched to use mineral powder foundation.

Wow that's a lot of make up that you collected. I don't have that much of make that requires a draw yet.

I'm slowly rebuilding some of the basic eye shadows and some color eye shadows, and some lip sticks. Thanks for sharing and it is very organized I like your idea.

@cynthia, compare to real makeup addicts, this collection is not much! haha!
start from the basics, but don't buy too much 'basics' because they're more or less the same. i threw away a lot of 'basics' because i bought too much - wanted to look natural but now i like more colors to my looks.
