16 Best Makeup Bags to Stash All Your Cosmetics

Retire the Ziploc and opt for a clear makeup bag you can entrust to hold your travel-sized liquids and then some. As frequent flyers ourselves, our beauty pros love this case's optimal sizing for both domestic and international trips — we found it carried our entire makeup routine without sacrifice. Its transparent paneling combined with its zippered compact leather frame makes for a hassle-free trip through TSA.

Looks can be deceiving: This makeup bag is large enough to hold a full-sized bottle of shampoo with room to spare. Once unzipped, the bag unfolds into three separate compartments, with a hanging hook for easy access. While we haven't tested this option, our experts appreciate its polyester and nylon fabrics for their stain resistance and easy laundering. This one's not for over-packers as some Amazon reviewers say that when stocked full, it's more difficult to zip completely shut.

Combine toiletries and makeup all in one go — Calpak's roomy compartments can fit everything from full-sized palettes to travel-sized liquids. Its clear design ensures an easy, breezy security check. Aside from its chic look, the bag earned high remarks (it's our best overall toiletry bag pick, too) from our own textiles experts who say the brand aces Lab durability tests.

Complete with six adjustable dividers for travel-sized cleansers and lotion, a mesh pocket for loose hair clips and four elastic bands for lip balm and mascara, this cylinder-shaped case totes it all with ease. Its accessible tower design and handle detail means you can skip unpacking when you reach your travel destination, says one Textiles Lab expert. Its round case and squared dividers don't leave much room for wider items like eyeshadow or contour palettes, however.

This prickly pick is perfect for your desert vacation. With a removable partition that includes slots for your makeup brushes, this cosmetic bag can be customized to your specific storage needs. It also comes in seven more fun prints, including tropical flamingo to cheetah designs, all for under $15. It's ideal for light packers as some Amazon reviewers reported some tearing in the fabric, even more so if packed too full.

No need to leave any favorites behind: Glossier's cosmetic bag holds it all. Dressed in a Millenial pink outer, its interior stores a removable inner pouch that's lined with four smart pockets where eyeliners and lip glosses sit snugly. Its middle and wall spaces easily fit eyeshadow palettes and large bottles of foundation. What's more, the dimensions themselves are printed on the outside of the bag to remind you just how much you can store inside. Since it stores a ton of pockets and products, expect it to run bigger than other makeup bags on this list.

For the makeup lover with an overflowing bag, this will take minutes off of your morning routine! When drawn up tight, this pouch carries makeup like any other bag, but when it's unwrapped, it becomes a totally flat surface that presents all of your products at once. Made of polyester, it's more durable than most.

Just 3-inches wide by 8-inches long, this leather pouch is a space saver but still offers enough room to house plenty of products (Saie's tinted moisturizer, included). Matching its lilac exterior, the light-colored interior also makes it easier to grab makeup products quickly. With that said, you're also more likely to notice excess makeup that rubs off on the inside.

Either store your makeup brushes in this floral bucket bag for a cute vanity organization solution or pull the drawstring to carry your makeup brushes with you wherever you go. We appreciate its polyester exterior designed for durability and its nylon interior for easy cleaning. Due to its compact design, it's a bit more difficult to eye objects laying inside.

Taking notes from the brand's other perfectly sized travel gear, its zippered toiletry case with transparent and mesh interior pockets is suited for light packers who want more thoughtful organization. When an unfortunate, but perhaps inevitable, spill occurs, its wipeable nylon — the same as the brand's packing cubes — makes cleaning a snap.

Crafted from premium Ethiopian full-grain leather, this pencil pouch adds a bit more sophistication to your usual travel gear. As a travel companion, its elongated size makes it ideal for holding tubes of makeup like mascara and brow gel, plus brushes. The brand also keeps sustainability in mind as just one single piece of leather is used to make each bag without any additional fabric used to line the interior. Keep that in mind if you prefer an extra layer of safety for makeup spills.

Makeup, skincare and haircare essentials keep tidy in this hanging toiletry bag. With many transparent zippered pockets, you can find exactly what you're looking for as it hangs sink side. What's more, the pocket's elastic bands keep your products in place as you move around. While we haven't tried this pick, we appreciate its polyester interior, which can resist water and stains. Though its light color options look aesthetically pleasing and make it easier to spot products, that also means you're more likely to see any makeup transfer.

We know one size doesn't fit all, so why should your cosmetic bags have to? Whether you need to carry a glam bag full of makeup or just a few items for your natural look, there's a bag in this set that's the perfect size for your needs. Though we haven't tried this exact one, our Lab pros appreciate its easy-to-clean nylon. Keep in mind there are no extra bells and whistles here as the bags lack organizational dividers or pockets inside.

A great gift for bridal showers or birthdays, this linen makeup bag stamps on a custom monogram or appliqué of your choosing. Lined with a practical plastic coating, it kept one GH beauty pro's foundation spill contained before they cleaned it with a couple of quick wipes. Its offerings start at $6 but keep in mind that prices can vary. The brand will send a price quote after you fill out the order sheet.

Hardcore makeup lovers need a hardcore case that can withstand scrapes and tumbles. This aluminum case does just that and also comes stocked with six tiered trays and adjustable dividers that separate each tray into three sections. After organizing, secure your products with the included lock and key, then transport it all with the travel-friendly shoulder strap. Its dimensions are 14 inches by 11 inches by 8.43 inches, so know that it runs bulkier and heavier than other options on this list.

A take on the instantly recognizable Bloomingdale's little brown bag, this cosmetic case lets everyone know you take your shopping and your makeup very seriously in the cutest way. Its shiny vinyl material looks glossy and chic, but keep in mind that it may be more prone to scuffs.
