If you own many `cosmetic brushes, instead of keeping them alongside your foundation, powder, lipstick, etc., put them all in a small container, jar, or cup with the bristles facing up.

This will save you from rummaging in your makeup bag in search of the tiniest brush in your collection. It will also prevent other products from staining your brush bristles.

You can as well go for a brush holder that has different compartments. This way, you keep your eye, lips, brows, and face brushes separately.

After doing this, add your brush holder to your rolling cart, drawer, shelf, mirror, or wherever you keep all your products.

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or sketching fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
