Makeup Bags
You don’t have to be a professional cosmetologist to own a makeup bag that’s packed and ready for anything. Spontaneous girls' night out? Last-minute vacation? A pouch full of thoughtful essentials comes in clutch for an impromptu event or occasion. The trick is to buy the right size and style of makeup bag to suit your needs. Read on to learn which bag is best for you, plus we’ll help you pack it with the makeup essentials you should always have on hand.
Weekend Rendezvous
If you’re heading out of town for the weekend, you won't want to fuss with a bulkier style of bag. A small makeup bag or a travel makeup bag with handy organizers would be ideal for shorter trips where you’re only bringing a duffle or carry-on. A quick weekend away calls for natural or minimal makeup, so pack your cosmetics bag with your fave cleanser, moisturizer, foundation, lip balm and maybe an eyeliner or mascara. A small makeup pouch would also do the trick if you’re only bringing a couple of items and don’t need pockets, plus a pouch can be kept in your handbag for quick touchups throughout the day.
The Long Holiday
For longer vacays where you anticipate evening affairs and elegant dinners, you’ll want to pack a large makeup bag that can accommodate a variety of looks. These typically include several pockets and compartments so you can easily stow everything from your go-to primer to that cherry red lipstick that gets you all kinds of compliments. If you already have a makeup bag, pick up a makeup bag organizer that’ll help keep everything in its proper place. Another travel-ready style we suggest is a clear makeup bag that lets you see and select your desired item quickly.
Girls’ Night Out
Love doing makeovers for the whole crew before going out? Aspiring makeup artists need a pro-approved makeup travel case. Designed with hard sides so nothing gets damaged en route, a case typically provides everything from brush holders and adjustable compartments to an easily cleanable interior. It’s everything you need to let your inner artist shine.
