I have an assortment of makeup brushes which I tend to stash in a clear vase (clean brushes) and a smaller ceramic cup for the dirty ones...otherwise they're tucked away in one of my brush rolls and always forgotten about. I need to organize my brushes a little better!! How do you organize your makeup brushes?

Mmm I just keep my brushes in glass beakers (don't separate dirty from clean....bad me) I'm thinking of getting those little silver balls like Sephora has so they stay up in the jar. If I kept mine in a brush roll I would forget about them haha...always need to be in my view.

I was looking for sephora silver ball all over, couldn't find them :( so I went craft store and got small marbles to hold up my brushes ^^ I also got brush case for traveling~

I put mine in tall plastic glasses with little rocks from the Dollar Store. Not super fancy, but it suits my needs.

I use a small blue vase that I got with a lotion set and I bought beads from Micheals to store my brushes. I like the vase because it looks pretty and matches my bathroom lol

I have a medium sized basket that I got from Jo-Ann Fabrics and it's filled with vase filler. I don't have a large brush collection so they all fit nicely in there. I keep face brushes in the back and eye brushes in the front.

I have one of those clear vanity organizers from Target and I use the taller compartments to hold my brushes, and I also have another small blue vase that I use for the rest of them. I have a video on my profile showing how I organize all my makeup :)

I use these hand made painted mugs that were given to me by my mother,to hold my brushes. They separated by face and eye brushes. But as my collection grows I need more space. So I'm taking suggestions

i use two big glass holders & have beads/marbles in the bottom of them to hold them up, my collection is growing though, i need to get something bigger! (:

I have a vase that I filled with decorative sand and wrapped a pink bow around. I couldnt find the vase fillers :( I don't have a huge brush collection right now...but I plan to make one! :) I have all my brushes in that one vase but I need to buy another one soon. I am going to seperate them as one vase for eye brushes, and one for face brushes.

i use pretty metal pen holders, two squared and two circular, one is for all eye brushes/tools, one is for all face foundation and concealer related brushes, one is for smaller fluffy brushes for blush, the last is for huge big fluffy brushes =]

I also found pen holders to be a helpful and practical way to store and keep my brushes organized...I bought this at a Japan Store here in Manila for around $2

Ive changed my brush organization since I posted a comment in this. I bought a kitchen tool caddy from Walmart and took all the tools out and just used the caddy. It has 3 compartments. I use 1 for all my eye brushes, another for my face, and the other for my short handle face brushes. It works great because all of my brushes are one spot. I made a blog post about it here - http://www.kristenforpresident.com/2010/10/affordable-makeup-brush-storage.html

I got a rectangle vase from Michaels (or any other craft store) and then filled it with very small glass beads (made to fill vases for flower arrangements). It's the "Sephora" look without having to buy the beads wholesale online (which many people have done). Picture to follow if you want??

I bought two $2 square containers from hobby lobby & those small "Sephora" beads from Michael's in the floral section :D I decorated mine. If you want me to post a photo of what I am talking about, message me and I'll give you a photo (:

For now they're all in plastic cups (eye brushes in one, face brushes in another) until I get something else -- either pencil holders or small vases or something.

I find the ELF brush case is soooo good! Saved me on so many location shoots from wind, rain, sun and the occasional piece of grass in my brushes :-) I have about four of them I love them so much. Cheap, chic and perfect!
