Hmmm. Well before for travel I would just throw it all in a giant makeup bag and then when I got to my room I had it all organized into plastic containers based on the type of makeup. I didnt have room in my dorm to display it so it all just went in shelves in the closet. However this year I have my own room so I plan on making a vanity to place it all on. However, as of right now, all my makeup is in 2 traincases. In my opinion a traincase is the most convenient, especially for travel. Also if you organize it nicely you can leave it open and out on top of a dresser and it will look nice. Im not exactly sure of any other way that is nice, space efficient and easy for travel and moving, but I will get back to you if I think of anything else.
