Whether You Hoard Beauty Products or Keep It Minimal, These Makeup Bags Are It
To say I have a lot of beauty products would be an understatement. Despite working in fashion, I have tried tons of products and accumulated plenty. (Thank you to our beauty editors for always sharing the goods.) So many, in fact, it took a whole day for me to get it all organized. I started with containers for the products I haven't gotten a chance to use yet, but I got stumped coming up with a plan for organizing the products I enjoy using frequently.
I thought about small plastic containers, but that would still leave me fishing through products each day. So as an alternative, I went with three different options: a large makeup organizer; a medium cosmetic bag with individual compartments to hold the items like my sunscreen, primer, and setting spray; and then a small bag that I can pop into any handbag. (This has kept me from losing and searching for lip gloss and lipstick.)
With my own experiences in mind, I've curated a list of the best makeup bags for everything from long travels to organizing an extensive library of beauty products.
No one mixes luxury and organization quite like Anya Hindmarch, and the brand's cosmetic cases are truly worth the investment. This leather-trimmed case is ideal for everyday and travel. It is designed with two zip-fastening compartments, including one that opens to reveal elastic loops to secure makeup brushes.
Like other Dagne Dover products, this is made of water-resistant neoprene and has a removable zipper pocket and three loops for your makeup brushes. The material also makes it easy to clean, as we all know small messes and spills can happen throughout travel.
If you're a heavy packer and like the extra counter space, consider a hanging cosmetic case like this one. It'll easily hang on any shower hook and has separate compartments for anything you could possibly need. Some reviewers even call it the "super bag."
