Refresh Your Vanity: The Best Storage Solutions for Your Spring Makeup Haul

Posted by Cindy Tran on

If you're feeling the urge to clear out, clean up, and start fresh, you’re not alone. Spring has a way of nudging us to reset, especially in our vanities, where winter’s clutter tends to pile up. Between dried-out lipsticks and a half-used eyeshadow palette, what once felt functional can start to feel overwhelming fast. And with that fresh makeup haul calling your name, now’s the time to make room for what’s next and get started on the newest spring makeup trend.

Here at Impressions Vanity, we believe storage should do more than just hold your things—it should calm the chaos, support your routine, and make getting ready feel good again. In this guide, we’re sharing our favorite storage solutions to help you refresh your vanity and makeup look and make room for everything you love about spring.

Assessing Your Makeup Collection

First things first—before we dive into the best storage solutions for your spring makeup routine, let’s pause and take stock of what’s already living on your vanity. This step isn’t about perfection. It’s about clarity. Clearing out old products and expired formulas isn’t just cleaning; it’s making space, mentally and physically, for the fresh energy spring brings. It may be time to finally get rid of the palette that a celebrity makeup artist influenced you to buy ages ago. 

Start by grouping your makeup into categories: face, eyes, and lips. Check dates, test textures, and be honest about what you actually use. If it hasn’t touched your skin in six months, it’s probably time to let it go, like that matte lipstick that's been sitting at the bottom of your makeup bag since you bought it.

Then, set your everyday go-to's within arm’s reach and tuck occasional-use items a bit further back. This simple shift can turn chaotic mornings into smoother, more grounded rituals. 

Once your space is reset, you’ll be ready to welcome your favorite spring makeup finds and the right storage ideas to help you keep them beautifully organized.

Must-Have Small Vanity Storage Solutions

Now that you’ve cleared out the clutter and made space for what truly matters, it’s time to give your spring makeup and pastel shades a home that feels just as fresh. A great routine isn’t just about what’s in your collection, it’s about how easy it is to reach for it all. 

At Impressions Vanity, we’re big believers in storage that doesn’t just work, it brings joy. That’s why we’ve rounded up our favorite small vanity storage solutions designed to keep your setup beautiful, functional, and stress-free.

Acrylic Organizers

There’s nothing like seeing your favorite lip gloss colors lined up, your highlighter and blush stacked just right, and everything you need at a glance. Our Diamond Collection Acrylic Makeup Palette Organizer is crafted from crystal-clear Lucite acrylic with diamond-style knobs that feel luxurious without trying too hard. With eight tiers, it’s a swoon-worthy storage piece that doesn’t just organize, it puts your spring makeup collection on full display.

Rotating Makeup Carousels

If you’re short on space, our 2-Tier Large Rotating Acrylic Organizer is a game-changer. The smooth 360º spin gives you instant access to your go-to products. With two spacious layers and a durable, crystal-clear finish, it keeps your skin care, hair care, and makeup essentials organized, accessible, and clutter-free.

Clear Drawer Storage Boxes

Sometimes, the best way to see everything is to literally see everything. Our Diamond Collection Princess 5-Tier Acrylic Makeup Organizer offers five roomy drawers made of luxe, clear Lucite. It’s compact but surprisingly spacious—perfect for storing your favorite compacts, glosses, and more, all within arm’s reach.

Makeup Brush Holders

Clean brushes equal a clean face. Our Diamond Collection Acrylic Makeup Brush Holder keeps your go-to brushes upright, clean, and dust-free with three compartments and a glam flip-top lid. It’s that little touch of order that makes getting ready feel like self-care.

Maximizing Small Vanity Spaces

To really maximize your small vanity setup, you’ve got to think smart—not small. We know how frustrating it can feel trying to celebrate your fresh makeup haul when your space is limited. But with a little intention and the right pieces, even the coziest setup can become a beautiful, efficient haven:

  • Start with our SlayStation® Storage Armoire—a freestanding glam command center packed with six drawers, side compartments, and a mirrored flip-top display. It keeps everything—makeup, skincare, jewelry—right where you need it, without cluttering your space.
  • Next, take advantage of your vertical real estate. Our SlayStation® Natalie Mirrored Column features a mirrored back and multiple shelves, perfect for showcasing your favorite spring makeup and chic decor, all while saving precious surface space.
  • For something multifunctional, our Prisma Cabinet Tri-Tone LED Vanity Mirror is both a mirror and a hidden storage unit. Behind the illuminated frame, you’ll find compartments for jewelry and cosmetics—proof that small setups can still do it all.
  • And if your space is really tight, our ultimate Impressions Vanity SlayStation® Scarlett Vanity Bundle proves that even the smallest setups can feel complete. This bundle includes our SlayStation® Scarlett Vanity Table—with a clear glass top and a thoughtfully designed drawer featuring built-in compartments to keep your spring makeup beautifully displayed and easy to reach. Paired with our Hollywood Glow® Plus Vanity Mirror, it’s where function meets glam in one sleek, space-saving setup.

Don't let a smaller vanity footprint limit your dreams of a beautifully organized and functional beauty space. With our thoughtfully designed vanity accessories and furniture, you can absolutely embrace all the perks of a more spacious setup, ensuring your makeup and routine have the stylish and accessible home they deserve.
