Yep, the first step involves very little physical work from you. Woohoo!

"Inspired by the mindfulness practices that stem from the KonMari Method, step one in decluttering your makeup and skincare products is to write down a vision of your ideal morning and evening beauty routine," says Kristyn Ivey, a certified KonMari instructor and the founder of Chicago's For The Love of Tidy.

To help narrow down the vision, answer the following questions:

· What does a clutter-free beauty space look like to you?
· How does your routine impact your day?
· How much product variety, choice, or collection are you comfortable with accessing and managing on a daily basis?
· How do you want the space in your home dedicated to storing makeup and skincare to look and feel?

"Once you have your vision nailed down, you can use it to ground all the decisions that follow," says Ivey.

The next part of the beauty decluttering game plan is to remove all your products and lay them all out in front of you, says Rachel Rosenthal, an organizing expert and the owner of Rachel and Company. This allows you to better understand the scope of your collection and gives you a fresh start when putting the "must keep" products back.

It's hard saying goodbye, so ease yourself into it by tossing the things that absolutely have no use to you anymore.

"Do a quick initial sweep of the items and then pull out any trash — think empty containers of floss, used faux lashes, or stray Q-Tips," says Rosenthal. "Also, review products for expiration dates. Even in the bathroom, products do [go bad]. I use this guide here for makeup products but be sure to check the dates on your specific items."

Next, you'll want to create categories of products and items. Rosenthal notes this will be slightly different for everyone since we all have different items and routines. The key is to create category piles that make sense for you — like hair care, foundations, medicines, tools, palettes, etc.

"Review your categories for duplicates and declutter where possible," advises Rosenthal. "For example, do you really need 12 mascaras? Are you ever going to use that clarifying shampoo that you can't stand the smell of?"

Having "like with like" will allow you to see what you have more easily to be able to part with the items you don't need. Oh, and also take note of the items you may need to restock. Two birds, one stone!

Let's go back to that vision you created for yourself. Before putting items back, reflect on that vision and purchase any organizational shelves, trays, or accessories you might need.

"Storage should always support how you want to get ready for the day. It should be both fun and functional, per your vision," says Ivey. "Your 'representatives' — meaning products that you actively use and love — should be readily accessible inside a top drawer, bin, shelf, or pouch. Meanwhile, backstock or alternative products can be stored further away until it's time for them to shine."

Try not to stress too much about the storage aspect. Instead, really prioritize the function of your space and it'll fall into place better.
