Spring is the perfect time for not only decluttering your home and wardrobe but also your beauty collection, according to the Style Sisters. The organising gurus, who recently helped Michelle Keegan of Fool Me Once fame to tidy her overflowing wardrobe, believe that "Having an organised beauty and make-up area will just make getting ready so much easier and will elevate your day-to-day routine".
So, there's no reason to keep your cosmetics, brushes, and perfumes in a mess. Here, best friends Gemma Lilly and Charlotte Reddington share their top advice on how to organise, store, and neatly stash away your beauty products for easy access and a tidy appearance on your shelves.
Firstly, they suggest checking for expired products
When organising your beauty items, it's crucial to check the expiry dates on makeup and skincare products as using outdated ones can cause blocked pores and bacterial growth. "First up, you want to be checking all of the expiry dates, There are definitely things that have been opened for a little too long that need to go," warn the Style Sisters.

Bulky makeup palettes that don't fit into bags and standard organisers can lead to a messy-looking bathroom or bedroom shelf.
"Palettes are the one thing a lot of our clients struggle with, and these palette organisers are brilliant," the pair recommend. "You can leave them on your side, on your dressing table or even in a drawer. If the palettes are too high, you can lay the ones that are too big flat. It keeps everything just so well organised."
