Best Overall Makeup Organizer

Pros:

• Tons of drawers
• Multiple color options
• Aesthetically pleasing

Cons:

• Doesn’t hold extra-large palettes

This acrylic makeup organizer is a winner because it holds a ton without taking up too much space on your countertop thanks to its tall silhouette.

It’s made of durable, acrylic plastic, so you can see everything inside, and it comes in nine different colors to best fit your style. Our one qualm is that for all its room, the large drawers still aren’t big enough to fit oversized eyeshadow palettes.
