Consider your current consumption rate of makeup and skincare, and estimate potential growth over the next year or two. Add 10-20% extra space to account for new purchases.

Yes, measure the usable height within drawers and cabinets to ensure you can stack or store items vertically, maximizing storage efficiency.

Based on your categorized inventory, allocate specific drawers/compartments for each category. Ensure theres enough space to prevent overcrowding.
