1. Dressing Tables
The dressing table is essential to any makeup guru because it is where most of your stuff go. These tables are very effective as makeup storage and makeup organisers. Take the IKEA LINNMON / ALEX drawer for example. It has 5-tiers which means you can organise and group everything you need in your makeup table. And you can even label the drawers to make it easier to find the mascara and eyebrow pencil you’re always looking for.

The ALEX with 5 drawers is the ultimate makeup organiser when in a tight budget. You can just label the drawers to easily find what you're looking for.

When you cannot decide what to bring, then bring them all! The ALEX on castors is easy to move so transporting your makeup from one room to another will as easy as applying foundation.
