Problem:

Small objects are used in our everyday life.

They can be used for school, decoration and
other purposes. These holders are essential for
house organization, so the small objects aren't
just thrown around the house. A makeup
holder will be very useful since most girls that
own makeup don't have where to store their Turn this

activities. What if we can create a relaxing,
efficient makeup activity for them? I believe
this will benefit women by saving more sleeping
and leisure time to enhance their health and to
help them to be well-prepared for work and
have a happier attitude, and also benefit the
whole family relationship building by devoting
themselves into family relationships.

Makeup gives a more positive facial image and feeling of
self-satisfaction and confidence. Much research focuses on the
benefit that cosmetics play on their salary. There is no research done

also a relationship between makeup and other activities.For example,

During my early research, I found out that women usually sacrifice

serious sacrifice is the sleeping time, followed by household activities
in the morning, socializing, relaxing and leisure time like
communicating with other family members. It happens almost in every
woman's life. If these reductions in positive family activities would
cumulate, it will finally bring about family problems and affect
women’s health. This might also result in a sense of unconfident and
affect their whole day's work due to the unsatisfied compromised

ORGANIZER

Secondary Research:
Based on the product in the market, the most cosmetic storages are multilevel
boxes with drawers and grids. Users only have one direction access to the things
which are from the front. This makes the interaction simple and bald. In terms of
materials, the most beneficial material will be plastic (acrylic) which is Survey + Compa-

MOOD
BOARD
 How can a makeup holder
help us?
You can keep your collection organized by using a
makeup storage organizer. It can accommodate
many different products, including brushes and eye
shadows. It is simpler to find things when everything
is kept in one place, and it can also save you time.
Knowing what things you already have and what has
to be replaced also helps.
You'll not only keep your makeup organized but also
prevent your drawers from damages and stains.
Makeup can spill inside drawers, and they can be
challenging to clean. These types of organizers also
make it easy to find specific items.
Injection moulding
1.Clean the plastic,
2. Shred the plastic using a
shredder.
3. Melt the plastic in the injection
machine.
4. Put the mould, which should be
done by a metal under the nozzle.
5.Wait for the melted plastic to
reciprocate and fill the mould.

Plastic research
PET-polyethylene terephthalate
thermoplastic
PET is usually been used
as materials for water
bottles or food packing.
It is a light weight plastic
and also transparent.
They are 100% recyclable
and also resist high
temperatures.
HDPE-high-density polyethylene
thermoplastic
Like PET, HDPE is used
to make containers for
liquid substances. It is
much stronger than
PET. It is also 100%
recyclable.

Conclusion
Option#1
● Has less space then second
option
● Acrylic is a strong plastic
● Can hold a strong weight
● Perfect size and shape
I chose to proceed with
option #1. Because I feel
that it is the best option
since it holds a lot of weight
and it is a smaller size and
perfect size.

● A larger size but a perfect

Final Design
I adjusted the size to a better size so more cosmetics would fit.
There is a total of eleven holes that are specific to put your
products.
I need to make sure that each part of the component is sturdy and
fit my desire shape,
Considering joints, I believe the mortise and tenon need to be cut
precisely with the laser cut later in the process. The model shows
the outcome of my project, which provides me a visual
representation of how it is looking.
During this process I thought about putting LED lights around for
decoration.

LED system
LED lights are when an electrical current passes through
a microchip, which illuminates the tiny light sources we
call LEDs and the result is visible light. To prevent
performance issues, the heat LEDs produce is absorbed
into a heat sink.
LED bulbs that have earned the ENERGY STAR are subject
to very specific requirements designed to replicate the
experience you are used to with a standard bulb—so they
can be used for a wide variety of applications. As the
graphic on the right demonstrates, a general purpose LED
bulb that does not qualify for the ENERGY STAR may not
distribute light everywhere and could prove to be a
disappointment if used in a table lamp.
