Make-up is usually one of the main products that women store in their dressers. It is helpful to create a space where your make-up is well-organized and easy to access. One suggestion is to make a magnetic board by sticking magnetic strips inside a frame as well as behind each of your make-up items. Once you have mounted the frame next to your dresser you will have a convenient place to store your make-up.

Another idea is to fill a bottle with sand and hang bracelets on it. You could also use a paper towel holder. If each one of your necklaces has its own spot it prevents them from tangling. This strategy also makes it easy to see each piece of jewellery so that it is easy to select an item that best matches your outfit.
