Whether your top goal is organizing numerous cosmetics or packing them neatly for trips, this bag is likely all you will need to stow and transport your beauty necessities.

Pros

Folds up into a neat, compact unit, so the fact that it has three large see-through compartments and a removable bag doesn't make it too bulky to transport. Ideal for organizing and traveling with large collections. Attractive design.

Cons

A few reports of zippers breaking and the hanger coming loose from the material.

Pros

This bag gets top marks for its durable nylon that is easy to clean when spills occur. Has an attractive quilted exterior. Spacious main interior compartment with several pockets to keep small items organized.

The sides of the bag lack structure. A few owners note a strange smell upon arrival that tends to fade over time.

Choose this transparent bag if you have a lot of makeup to organize and need to locate each product with ease.

Pros

Stands out for its clear vinyl material that allows easy identification of products for quick access. Has numerous compartments and a convenient shoulder strap, making it ideal for travel.

The material is on the stiff side, which may make some of the snaps difficult to close at first. Somewhat large and bulky.

Though it's not ideal for a huge cosmetic collection, this Caboodles bag is a good choice for transporting a few select pieces, and is made with durability and style in mind.

Pros

Stands out for its sleek design with bold stripes and pink accents that make it look fashionable enough to carry anywhere. Structured exterior keeps makeup safe from damage. Made by a popular name in cosmetic organizers.

Cons

Interior isn't extremely spacious, but this won't be a deal breaker for everyone.

    Makeup bags range from those meant to hold a few of your favorite products in your purse to bags large enough to fit your entire makeup collection. Look for bags that clean or wipe easily in case any containers spill or break inside. Larger bags often feature extra pockets and dividers to keep your makeup organized. Others have extra padding to keep your products safe while traveling. You can definitely find a makeup bag to fit your personal style as well, as most come in a variety of patterns and colors and some are transparent to make it easy to see what you have stored in the bag.
