Magnetic Makeup Board Tutorial DIY

Author: Laurie Bennett

Materials

  • magnetic memo board (see other option below)
  • heavy duty magnet roll
  • roll of sticky stuff or hooks to attach to the wall
  • makeup brushes, etc
  • small cardboard or plastic container for brushes
  • optional: decorative duct tape

Instructions

  • Gather your supplies, and if you're going to decorate your board with duct tape, do it now. Instead of a magnetic memo board, you could use a photo frame or really thick cardboard and just paint it with magnetic paint. I had all of these supplies on hand, so that's why I used them.
  • Apply the sticky stuff or hooks to the magnetic board before you start adding your makeup. (This was a lesson learned, because applying it afterwards was hard. I kept dropping the makeup everywhere.)
  • Attach magnets to each piece of makeup. I turned some of the makeup around so I could see the color rather than the label. If you're super creative, you can even make little tags or write in the sections like “eyes”, “lips”, etc.
  • Decorate your small box or container, and attach it with a few magnets – enough magnets to hold your brushes up. You can add brushes, eyelash curlers, mascara, and whatever else you'd like.
  • You can organize them however you'd like – switch them out as your mood changes – and easily hang it in your closet or on the bathroom wall depending on the space you have. You could even use a mini board and hang it on the inside of the cabinet door under your bathroom sink!
