Milano Makeup Organizer

The Milano Makeup Organizer is a stylish and highly functional vanity storage system designed for modern beauty lovers who want both form and function on their dressing table. Developed for a private label beauty brand, Oxta Design was brought in to take the concept from idea to production—focusing on clean aesthetics, intuitive layout, and manufacturing-ready design.

Whether used at home or in a salon, this organizer is built to keep cosmetics, brushes, and skincare essentials neatly sorted and easily accessible.

Challenges & Objectives

Project Overview

The beauty and skincare industry continues to grow, with consumers demanding better storage solutions that combine visual appeal with practical usability. Our client approached us with the vision of creating a multi-compartment makeup organizer that offers both premium styling and flexible storage.

 

The design needed to feel high-end but still be affordable for mass-market retail—balancing looks, function, and cost. It had to appeal to everyday users who want a clutter-free vanity, and influencers or makeup artists who need structured setups.

Challenges

Creating a beauty storage product that feels luxurious while staying lightweight, shatter-resistant, and manufacturable at scale presented several product design challenges:

  • Visual Clarity vs. Fingerprints: Selecting materials like clear or frosted acrylic that offer transparency without becoming instantly smudged.

  • Modular Layout: Designing compartments to fit varying product sizes—lipsticks, palettes, brushes—without looking overcrowded.

  • Manufacturability: Ensuring injection-moulded components met tight tolerances while avoiding visible parting lines or sink marks.

  • Structural Integrity: Developing drawers and sliding compartments that operated smoothly without jamming or tipping.

  • Brand Differentiation: Creating a design that stood out from the sea of generic, low-cost organizers flooding online platforms.

Objectives

The client aimed to deliver a beauty storage solution that would stand up in a premium retail setting or online boutique. Our role was to translate that vision into a ready-to-produce design.

Key objectives included:

  1. Design a functional, visually appealing makeup organizer suitable for vanity tops, bathroom counters, and dressing rooms.

  2. Create a compartmentalized layout that accommodates a range of beauty products while maintaining a minimalist footprint.

  3. Use durable and cost-effective materials like ABS or crystal-clear acrylic for a polished, premium finish.

  4. Engineer the design for tooling and injection moulding, ensuring part quality and cost efficiency.

  5. Support retail success with CAD renderings and packaging guidance that matched the brand’s aesthetic and positioning.

The finished Milano Makeup Organizer is a sleek, modular storage unit that blends beauty and practicality.
