    I'm going to go ahead and take a wild guess that your current makeup storage situation is something out of Martha Stewart's worst nightmare. Probably two or three ridiculously old, powder- and foundation-encrusted zip pouches that sit on the back of your toilet or shoved under the sink next to your mouth wash. Am I getting close?

    Listen—your makeup deserves better than this. You deserve better than this. You're a grown-ass adult! Get yourself some legit makeup organizers that not only serve a really good purpose, but also look crazy pretty and Instagrammable on your vanity. Or desk. Or toilet tank. And to help narrow your search down from one-billion to eight, I scoped out the very best of the best storage cases, stands, and shelves to get you started.

    Now please; throw away those pouches—or burn them. I'm not picky.

    Chloe Metzger is the deputy beauty director at Cosmopolitan, overseeing the editorial content and growth strategy of the hair, makeup, and skin space on digital, while also obsessively writing about the best hair products for every hair type (curly girl here; whattup), and the skincare routines that really, truly work (follow her on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes pics of that magazine life). She brings nearly a decade of writing and editing expertise, and her work has appeared in Allure, Health, Fitness, Marie Claire, StyleCaster, and Parents. She also has an unhealthy adoration for Tom Hanks and would like to please meet him one day, if you could arrange that. Thanks.
