16 Designer Makeup Bags to Store Your Beauty Products In

Best Overall

Looking for a bag that has a bit of everything—like enough space to fit your essentials and then some? And an easy-to-wipe exterior and lining? Or a handy top handle and an extra-secure closure for stress-free travel? Congrats then, because this bag has it all. Oh, and it’s made with certified recycled or upcycled materials, too.

Best Nylon Bag

Allow us to present the Mary Poppins bag of cosmetic cases. The durable nylon material has so much give, we dare you to see how many products you can fit in there at once. (We bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised.)

Best Leather Makeup Bag

We’ll be the first ones to say that this leather pouch has some pretty impressive specs. With supple leather on the outside and a removable zippered lining on the inside, plus 11 different compartments for organized storage and with three sophisticated colors to choose from, you truly can’t go wrong.

Best Quilted Leather Bag

It doesn’t get much more luxurious than quilted lambskin-leather and gold hardware. The classic YSL logo on the zipper is just the cherry on top. And you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much this dome shaped bag can hold. (Hint: it’s more than you’d think.)

Best Suede Bag

Cult Gaia is having its moment in the spotlight, so it only makes sense to deem their cool yet classic pouch as the “it” bag of the season. The powder blue suede is just as luxuriously soft as it looks and is embossed with a crocodile leather pattern for an eye-catching, textural effect.

Best Wool Bag

Who said makeup bags should be basic? Not us. Swap out your old, scuffed leather case for this Fendi number with its eye-catching logo and sumptuous wool for some added texture and luxury.

Best Design

Found: A case that’s fun and playful without sacrificing any practicality. Its boxier shape offers plenty of space to pack in all your essentials and with a design this cute, you’re bound to get compliments on it daily.

Best for Brushes

We can’t put our finger on it but something about this bag just screams “cool girl with killer fashion sense.” Better yet, its longer shape is ideal for carrying makeup brushes and tubes with a little wiggle room left over.

Best Metallic Makeup Bag

Remember what we said about a designer makeup bag lasting you for years? This is what we were talking about. Its woven, shimmering, silver leather isn’t just pretty to look at, it’s so durable you’ll probably go through five tubes of lipstick before it shows any signs of wear.

Best Clear Bag

Sure, we award this black-trimmed, vegan leather case major style points, but it’s more than just a pretty face. With see-through paneling along the top and sides, you can easily spot your lipstick and breeze through airport security. It’s a win-win.

Best Makeup Clutch

Is it a clutch? Is it a make-up bag? Either way it’s the perfect size for storing your essentials, so why not use it for both? It’s like getting two bags for the price of one.

Best Mini Bag

Prada’s nylon accessories will never go out of style, so you can use this makeup bag (and its many pockets) for many years to come. The perfect size for all your on-the-go essentials, it’s ideal for daily use and travel.

Best Hanging Makeup Bag

If “traveling light” isn’t in your vocabulary, this foldout case has more than enough space to fit every skincare product currently sitting in your medicine cabinet—without skimping on style.

Best Water-Resistant Bag

Whether you’re more prone to spills than the rest of us or you’re just looking for a bag that can withstand being jostled around in your gym duffle, this water-resistant, neoprene pouch is a safe bet.

Easiest to Clean

If your prior makeup bags have fallen victim to the wreckage of a broken powder or eyeshadow palette, we have good news: this case is miraculously easy to clean. Just run a damp towel over it to wipe up any smudges or spills, and voila, good as new. Bonus: It has a removable sleeve of pockets and handy brush holders to keep things in their rightful place.

Best for Traveling

If your travel itinerary demands something a tad larger than a standard makeup bag can hold, this vanity kit is your match made in heaven. Equipped with two pocket-filled compartments and plenty of space in-between, it’s just waiting to be filled to the brim with (full-sized!) bottles and tubes.
