Hello, everyone! Today I have a fun little post for you. I was recently sent some makeup brushes from a company called Docolor. If you know me personally, then you already know that I’m more of a lip gloss and the occasional mascara kind of gal. Not to say that I wouldn’t be happy to be as good as those makeup gurus on YouTube. But I’m a realist. In any case, today I want to share 2 simple makeup brush storage ideas that I use for my makeup brushes.
2 Simple Makeup Brush Storage Ideas
The Brushes
Before I show you the 2 simple makeup brush storage ideas, I wanted to talk a little bit about the brushes that I received (free in exchange for an honest review). You probably have seen these makeup brushes all over the internet. They are similar to the ARTIS makeup brushes. The ARTIS brushes are crazy expensive by the way. Not worth it for someone like myself that rarely use makeup at all. The Docolor* brushes are more budget friendly. They have the same oval shape as the ARTIS brushes. It sort of reminds me of a toothbrush! haha. I don’t own a lot of makeup brushes. This set of makeup brushes comes in 10. All the brushes vary in sizes. The brushes have a retail value of 37.29$ CND (which is 29.03$ USD with the current conversion rate). My set also came with a free brush cleaner!
Makeup Bag
The first storage idea that I have is also very useful if you are traveling with your makeup brushes. I use the old fashion makeup bag. I’m not about spending money on expensive makeup bags so I got mine at the dollar store for 3$. It’s really cute and inexpensive.
Cute mug
This so simple! I have an obsession with owls and my sister got me this cute owl cup a while back. I don’t want to drink it in so it’s been sitting on my shelf for a while. Well, now it has a purpose. As you can see in the pictures. I added some gold buttons to the bottom of my owl mug and simply placed my makeup brushes inside. You can also use sand or rice in the cup. Just need something to keep the brushes in a standing position.
There you have it, 2 Simple Makeup Brush Storage Ideas! Cool right!? What do you think of these ideas? What other ways to you store your makeup brushes! Hope you found this post useful.

What some great ideas, I love the mug one myself and I wouldn’t have thought of using buttons to keep them standing! x
Yep! The button idea came to me out of nowhere! I have so many of them lol
Great idea! I would totally do this. And let me tell you, I am an owl lover too, but my husband for some reason is creeped out by them. So needless to say, there aren’t many here.
I think I’d do the mug idea. I think its cute and would bring a little bit more to the room. I don’t own any brushes so I really wouldn’t know where to begin!
I love the cute owl mug. These are really nice looking brushes.
I can’t believe these have escaped my attention up to this point. They are really neat and buttons are brilliant!

I like the idea of storing makeup brushes in a cute mug. This is a great way to add some color and creativity to any decor.
These are some wonderful ideas for storing makeup brushes. That mug looks so beautiful & I love how simple & effective it is to have one such storage for such basic needs we all look for.
I like the idea of putting them in a cute mug. That’s how I have my toothbrush/paste stored right now too. 🙂
I love the idea of storing my makeup brushes in a decorative mug like that. I have a few mugs I never use anymore but that still look really cool.

These are unusual looking brushes! I just started storing mine in old glass candle holders! They vary in size so I can even fit my tiny brushes in the smallest one!
I like the different ways to store brushes. I need to store mine better.

I love the tip about the mug and the buttons. Great idea. What a fun post.
I have a lucite makeup holder on my vanity. It was a space for brushes, but before then I kept them in a coffee mug too.

Mine are in a little baggie that fits inside my overnight bag. I also have my makeup sorted out into little baggies depending on what it’s use is, so it just works for me.
I have never seen makeup brushes like yours. They look so unique. I love putting mine in a coffee mug.
If you want your make up brushes to last and do their job, you really do need to store them nicely. These were great ideas.

The brushes look amazing. My daughter also uses a mug to store her makeup brushes.
I also have my brushes stored in a mug on the bathroom counter!! By the way, where did you get those brushes?? I’ve never seen brushes like that!
I’m like you. I don’t wear a ton of makeup. I do like the coffee mug idea. Your owl mug is super cute too.

I don’t wear make-up often, normally I just use a liner and a lipstick. It would be nice to be ready with brushes though, especially when you’re attending something big, like a wedding. These are nice and thanks for the tips on how to store them!
Those are some awesome makeup brushes! I’ve never used any that are like that. I love the way they look. I bet they work great too!
My brushes are always lost in the bottomless pit of my drawer. Great excuse to go buy a great new mug! Thanks~
The mug is so cute. This is a brilliant idea! I don’t own a lot of makeup brushes, but this is a cute way to store them.
Haha ok don’t know what to say but will share on social media
The owl mug is adorable and I use mugs all the time to store my makeup brushes!

I would go for the second alternative! I have a couple around the house perfect for the idea!
My daughters have tons of brushes, makeup and art. They are currently using colored mason jars for theirs. I love the cup idea, we use cups to store some of the kids favorite pens/pencils for school.

Those cute brushes are everywhere! I want some and I think putting them in a cute mug would be adorable maybe even put in some marbles at the bottom to steady them!
The cup idea is awesome. I’m definitely going to try this with my makeup brushes. Thank you for sharing this great idea. – Yolo
Such brilliant ideas! And that mug is really cute. Love the owl design. I want one of that. 🙂
That’s a pretty set! I like how the mug was incorporated as a member of the family, haven’t thought about that as a hack since I have a lot of cute mugs at home.

Wow I need to get some makeup brushes like these! They look so pretty and the storage option with the mug is a great way to display them! Love this!

I like the cute mug idea. Right now I store mine in a makeup bag and find it tedious.
This is a great idea! I know makeup loves who uses mugs for storage too. Those are cute looking brushes, I wish I knew how to use these.
