A Real Makeover
Any makeup-loving woman will tell you that their cosmetics will take up more than 100% of their countertop. Not only do they have to organize their creams and keep their eyelash curlers away from moisture, but they might actually drop a few makeup supplies in the sink, ruining them completely.
What you can and probably should do is get a makeup organizer. Granted, this isn’t exactly a “clever trick” since the OP is using the makeup organizer for its intended purpose. However, as you can see, it makes a world of difference. Imagine all that stuff on the countertop. How could anyone get anything done in a cluttered bathroom?
