Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

So, I had a bit of time today and decided to make a spreadsheet of my makeup stash. :stuck_out_tongue: Okay, so I know many of you guys think I am a bit cuh-razy and OTT with my makeup habit and ways BUT makeup artists do this as well for insurance purposes so if anything happens to their makeup (gets damaged or stolen), they can report and file a claim. That’s where I got the idea from and I’m not a makeup artist but still have a growing collection. And I did a bit of research and a lot of other people seem to do it as well.

Here is mine, I just started it today and I’m not done as you’ll notice from the blank spaces etc but I thought I’d share what I have done so far. @Reha , I think you should make one when you have some free time, esp. since you’re starting as a makeup artist:

Spreadsheet

p.s. The items highlighted in that yellowish color are stuff I’m getting rid of or have put it away to give away/swap etc. I’ll be finishing this up in the coming days. Let me know what you guys think and whether you’d ever start one or possibly have one.

That is so awesome! It would take me like a year to make that for all the makeup I have, but I really want to so I'll look into it. Thanks for the idea!

M, I like it. I think if I had this...it'd be much easier to keep track of things I have and need.

I bet I could also see how long something lasts me, how much wear I get out of it or if I can condense products.

I'll probably try to see if I can do this today.

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

Definitely! You can make a column for when you purchased it so you always know that way!

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

I don't have that much of anything to make a spreadsheet. Just eye shadows, I have about 20 mac ones.

MARRY ME!!!

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

You are amazing... I am in the process of making a spreadsheet for my home and pantry items. Love this... :) I love that GS has so many amazing ppl with some awesome quirks. I feel at home...lol

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

It's a good idea to keep track of things you use a lot and if you'd need to replace them, so you have the right shades/brand etc, but I'd be too lazy to update it. I have too much make up lying around in 10 billion places too which I can't be asked to put together.

But good luck with it, I'd probly need it most for the amount of leepsticks I have, maybe I'll do one If I ever get my lazy bum to sit down to do it :/

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

You should post your collection in the collection thread! I’d love to see!

DO EEET!

You’re a makeup artist, no?

:flowers:

YAAAAAAY! I knew you guys would understand. :stuck_out_tongue: Are you making your spreadsheet on Google Docs as well?

lol, I am very organized with my makeup. It’s either on my dresser or in my makeup bag in my purse. I guess that’s where I got the himet from for actually going through with this idea of mine of documenting EVERY makeup item I own. CRAY.

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

I wouldn't bother even counting my makeup LOL

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

^In my defense, makeup is a LEGIT hobby of mine. :p

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

nopes. how comes you thought so?

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

^Oh! That is odd, I think I confused one of your posts with @Gina’s? :konfused:

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

Probably!

When I joined I was posting about make up all the time because I was a lot more into it back then and also preparing for my wedding, for which I did the MU myself.

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

^OMG! I want to do my own makeup for my wedding too! Did you like how yours turned out?

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

M, I love it! Thanks for sharing!! I have a decent sized stash as well, so this should really help me. Cos there are times I buy the same thing, and forget that I already own it. Good stuff :flower1:

Re: Makeup Spreadsheet (for all you OCD/organized/big-stash girls, ahem)

^Welcome! Do post yours here whenever you get around to it. :)
