Ditch The Free Samples

First and foremost, don’t go hoarding on the free samples that you get from the airport and other places. It might seem like an innocuous act of yours but it is one of the main reasons why your dressing area looks no less than a mess. Ditching the free samples will help you keep your makeup area sorted in a better way. Those free samples that look uber cute to you are only occupying extra space and it’s high time you got rid of this extremely displeasing habit.

Get Rid Of The Expired Products

When your makeup products expire, be ready to throw them out. Don’t keep the expired cosmetics floating around on your dressing table, it is only going to add to the mess. You might feel too lazy to do that, but keep a post-it stating it as urgent. This will remind you to clear off the waste before it gets too cluttered. We might forget to throw off the expired makeup and this can create more mess than you’d expect. Once you’ve built the habit of clearing off the makeup products that have gone bad, you’ll start noticing you have much more space for the newer products that you buy.

Don’t Pile Up Makeup That You’ll Never Use

This is one of the worst mistakes that you can make. Makeup products that you mistakenly bought or makeup that someone gifted you that no longer appeals to you needs to be discarded right away. Be sincere with yourself, you know in your heart that you will never use these products. So then why keep them in your precious place. Don’t go keeping all the makeup products that you have, just keep the ones that you love and use frequently.
