If you wear even a small amount of makeup, you likely own some form of a makeup bag to use while traveling. But if your go-to makeup bag is hard to see into, has a janky zipper, or is just a plastic bag, it’s time for an upgrade. Lucky for you, we thoroughly tested 26 popular makeup bags in our New York City studio to find out which ones are actually worth traveling with. 

Over the course of five months of tests both in our New York City lab and during our real travels, we stuffed each makeup case to the brim with cosmetics, packed them into luggage, and threw them around the room (yes, really). And when all was said and done, there were 9 makeup cases we liked enough to permanently add to our luggage collections and recommend to you. Based on factors like quality, capacity, design, portability, value, and ease of use, here are our 9 favorite makeup bags and cosmetic cases.

Best Overall

Béis the cosmetic case.

• Ease of Use 5 /5
• Quality 5 /5
• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Portability 5 /5

It’s durable, capacious, and nice to look at — plus, it has a large built-in mirror.

We feel it could benefit from interior straps to hold products down.

Reliable, stylish, and compact yet spacious, it’s no wonder this easy-to-pack cosmetic case from luggage brand Béis impressed us the most. The main compartment opens and closes smoothly, while a center compartment for brushes and other smaller items can be removed in a snap. There are even multiple additional pockets, pouches, and subtle slots in the bag, so there’s truly a place for everything. We also noticed that, because the interior of the case is so roomy, it’s incredibly easy to see every item inside when fully opened. And speaking of the interior, the bag actually boasts a large attached mirror on the inside, which comes in handy for in-transit makeup application — though some might still prefer to also pack a lighted travel makeup mirror .

During our five months of tests, the PU leather and hardware worked together to create efficient padding that kept the contents of the case safe and intact through bumps and drops — not to mention, the bag itself still looked good through the wear and tear. On many occasions, we tossed this case in a duffel before going through airport security and boarding a flight, and it still looks good as new. Though $68 may feel a bit pricey for a makeup bag, we felt this case’s thoughtful design and durable construction is worth it. You can grab the case in eight colors ranging from beige to berry.

Best for Organization

Relavel travel makeup case.

It’s one of the roomiest bags on our list and it’s lightweight.

It does take up a bit of space in your luggage.

While this case is on the larger side, we felt that ended up being more helpful than hurtful while traveling. We could fit pretty much everything in this thing: a whopping seven palettes, a whole brush collection, two foundation bottles, five toiletry bottles, over 15 lipsticks, an eyelash curler, hair spray, and a travel-sized moisturizer bottle, to be exact. Despite its size, the train case actually remains quite lightweight as well as organized thanks to its adjustable dividers and stretchable pouches on the inside. During our five-month test, we even ended up using this for both makeup and toiletries, since it provides plenty of space.

The interior additionally features layers of protective foam-like material that expertly keeps makeup bottles from cracking. We also found that both the interior and exterior of this case are easy to clean, should a spill or outdoor drop occur. Because it’s a little big, though, we’d recommend packing this case in a carry-on suitcase or even checked luggage rather than a tote or backpack. You can pick this case up in 20 different colors and prints. 

The Details: 10.3 x 9 x 3.7 inches | Nylon | Zipper closure

Best Compact

Dagne dover mila toiletry organizer.

• Capacity 4 /5

It’s the tiniest bag on our list, but it still fits a lot — plus, it’s easy to flatten when packing or storing.

It does, of course, fit less makeup than the larger bags on our list.

If you prefer to travel with something more compact, Dagne Dover’s Mila Toiletry Organizer is the best tiny makeup bag we tried. Though it’s by far the smallest pick on our list, we were surprised at just how much it could actually hold. Not only do plenty of palettes, lipsticks, and other essential cosmetics fit inside, but so do full-size makeup brushes. It comes with a removable mini divider set that helps hold items in place, though we liked how much more we could fit in the organizer if we skipped using the dividers. Because it fit so well in the palm of our hands, we had a good time whipping it across the room during our tests — and after being pelted against the wall and floor multiple times, we were amazed to find the organizer still looked fantastic and its contents barely budged. Even when wedged into an absolutely-stuffed-to-the-brim suitcase during our five-month test, the inside is so well-padded that all of our items remained protected and secure. We decided it’s the ultimate makeup bag for shorter trips since it takes up such little space and is super soft and squishable for easy packing. 

The Details: 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches | Polyester, zinc alloy | Zipper closure

Best Budget

Narwey travel makeup bag.

• Design 2 /5

It’s spacious, easy-to-clean, and more affordable than any other makeup bag on our list.

It could use a little extra padding for protection against drops.

There was something about this bag that just made us feel like we could easily access everything inside — there were no hidden pockets, no tight openings, and no unnecessary flaps that covered up the contents (other than one to protect makeup brushes, but it’s see-through). The zipper opening is easy to maneuver and appears to be well-made, while the canvas frame feels sturdy and protective. The bag got a bit dirty during our tests, but it cleaned up beautifully with minimal effort. We especially loved just how much it could fit: multiple brushes in each of its eight brush pockets, three palettes, three eyeliners, four lipsticks, a mascara, and a lash curler. Perhaps that’s why we were so shocked to discover the bag doesn’t take up much space in our luggage, and it is a fraction of what many other bags on our list cost. 

The Details: 9 x 6.7 x 3.5 inches | Canvas | Zipper closure

lululemon Go Getter Pouch

• Ease of Use 4.5 /5
• Design 4 /5

It’s sleek, water-repellant, and capable of holding way more than you’d expect given its compact size. 

After five months of testing, it is showing makeup stains.

The feature we found most interesting about this bag is that, when empty, it appears very thin and compact. However, once stuffed with makeup, it actually holds a crazy amount of stuff, including larger items like perfumes, dry shampoos, lotions, and creams. We love the pouch’s nylon construction, which looks sleek and allows dirt and liquids to slide right off. The bag’s lack of padding keeps it lightweight and flexible; we wouldn’t recommend keeping any glass bottles or jars in it, but it’s also not likely to tear, stretch, or snag (that’s lululemon for you!). Because there’s no true framing, the bag is easy to flatten or mold to any space or suitcase. While there is a small exterior zip pocket and an interior mesh one, the pouch really has no built-in organization — though we don’t think that’s a deal-breaker. Get it in gray sage or black.

The Details: 8.7 x 3.3 x 6.3 inches | Polyester, nylon | Zipper closure

Best Train Case

Leatherology train case.

The leather exterior is soft to the touch and the interior is deceptively roomy.

During our five-month test, we found the tall design to be awkward for packing.

Easy to clean and pack, we’re obsessed with this cute and compact train case from ultra-reliable Leatherology. It zips open in a way that allows you to see everything inside, plus there are interior pockets of all sizes to help keep everything organized. Though we felt it was slightly flimsy when we first picked it up, we quickly realized it’s sturdier than it looks, and only becomes more so when filled with makeup. Its subtle padding is also no joke, as it completely protected the contents while being thrown around, shaken, and dropped. The exterior leather is soft and supple, the interior lining is high quality, and the main compartment is deep and spacious despite its overall compact size. If you’re looking for a smaller makeup bag that’ll still fit more than just the essentials, we recommend this train case in one of 14 available colors. 

The Details: 7.5 x 5 x 5.2 inches | Leather, nickel | Zipper closure

Best Hanging

Boacay hanging travel toiletry bag.

• Quality 4 /5
• Capacity 3.5 /5
• Portability 4 /5

It holds so many products, and it folds up nicely and easily. 

Even when folded, it takes up more space than most makeup bags on our list.

Travel hanging organizers are a whole different ball game — and once you use one, you may never go back. This one opens up into four large sections, each with a transparent, zippered sleeve to store (and easily see) your makeup and toiletries. Two of the sections have straps to hold products in place, and a hook on the top section allows you to hang the bag anywhere. During our tests, we discovered the bag is sturdy and easy to clean in addition to being large enough for different types of products, from makeup brushes to hairspray.  Even when we packed it to the brim, it still folded up with minimal effort and kept our makeup in place during drop tests. While it’s relatively thin, it is somewhat long and space-consuming, so we’d probably only pack this in a checked bag rather than a carry-on, or use the makeup bag itself as a personal item. Throughout our five months of testing, we did notice that bottles can easily slip out of the plastic pockets if the case is hung up without first zipping the pockets.

The Details: 11.4 x 3.8 x 7.5 inches | Zipper closure

Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set

During our five months of tests, all stains and smudges were easily cleaned to keep the case looking new.

It doesn’t have organization features or particularly thick cushioning.

Upon testing, this stood out for two reasons: it comes with not one, but two luxe pouches, and the interior is lined with the same soft leather featured on the exterior. We appreciated how wide both bags open, despite their top-zip construction, making it easy to see everything inside. The larger of the two bags is so spacious, we were able to fit an impressive amount of makeup inside — in fact, we felt we realistically probably wouldn’t even need the smaller bag for makeup, and could instead use it for small toiletries or loan it to a travel companion. There aren’t any dividers or straps inside these bags, so the products inside may shift in-transit if not packed to the brim. Still, we loved the set because it’s one of the nicest-looking options we tried (plus, it comes in 14 gorgeous colors). 

The Details: 12 x 7 x 3.5 inches (large), 8 x 5 x 2.5 inches (small) | Leather | Zipper closure

Best Splurge

Cuyana travel beauty case.

• Quality 4.5 /5
• Portability 4.5 /5

It has a pocket for everything and will hold up through years of travel.

It’s on the heavier side and the most expensive bag on our list. 

If you’re looking for something that does it all and is built to last, consider Cuyana’s Travel Beauty Case. It’s the most expensive option on our list, but after putting it to the test, we believe it’s worth the hefty price tag. The zipper glides smoothly when opening and closing it, the construction is super sturdy, it’s not bulky, it’s packed with pockets as well as a removable pouch, dirt and scuffs are easy to wipe off — we could truly go on and on about this case. But let’s go back to the interior: Though the case is on the smaller side, it boasts plenty of slots for products, including a dedicated pocket and four straps for makeup brushes, a leather flap to protect contents, a small removable pouch for your tiniest cosmetics, and an additional elastic pocket. We felt the leather was quite stiff, which prompted us to get a little rougher with it during our drop and shake tests. Sure enough, it effectively protected the many palettes, lipsticks, tools, and more we placed inside. Even after five months of using the case during our travels, it still looks good as new and has protected all of our items.

The Details: 10.2 x 6.2 x 3.1 inches | Leather | Zipper closure

Other Makeup Bags We Liked

Several other makeup bags almost made our list, but were cut due to issues revealed during testing.

Béis The Hanging Cosmetic Case : This bag is super sturdy, protective, and well made. However, the actual makeup section of this multi-paneled case managed to feel both bulky and too small to fit all our makeup products. 

Away The Cosmetics Bag : We liked the sleek, minimalist design; a unique interior that features makeup storage with a clear zippered divider; and five heavy-duty makeup brush slots on the opposite side. But during tests, it fit considerably less makeup than many others on our list and it didn’t keep products very secure.

Vera Bradley Women's Recycled Lighten Up ReActive Cosmetic Makeup Organizer Set : This set proved to be spacious, easy to clean, and convenient thanks to two transparent side panels on the larger of the two bags. Still, we feel the design is very basic and it lacks organization features, straps, and pockets.

To thoroughly and accurately test each of the 26 makeup cases in our lab, we filled them with various props (including four makeup brushes, two makeup palettes, one bottle of foundation, one eyelash curler, one mascara, one lipstick, four pre-filled toiletry bottles, and one hairspray) to see how much they could truly hold. We then placed the filled makeup bags into both a half-packed backpack and carry-on luggage, making note of how much space each bag took up. Next, we took the makeup bags out of the luggage and dropped them, shook them, and tossed them in the air to test how much the contents inside moved or if there was any damage. 

Throughout our tests, we rated each makeup bag based on ease of use, quality, capacity, design, portability, and value. The makeup bags included in this article are the picks that scored highest in each category. Testers will continue using the bags and collecting insights for six months following our initial tests.

Tips for Buying a Makeup Bag for Travel

Decide how much space you need.

If you like to wear a full face of makeup on your travels, you should seek out a larger makeup bag with built-in organization (think pockets, brush straps, dividers, and removable pouches). If you’re more of a tinted moisturizer and mascara-and-go kind of person, a super roomy cosmetic case is unnecessary — it’ll just take up extra space in your luggage, and your few makeup products inside will likely move around too much, increasing their chances of breaking.

Prioritize organizational features

While a makeup case with one large, main compartment might sound sufficient, you may want to reconsider. If you plan on packing multiple types of products (like palettes, brushes, bottles, and tubes), a makeup bag with organizational features, such as a train case , will come in handy more than you’d think. As explained above, bags with extra slots, pockets, straps, and compartments help you keep track of all your cosmetics and do your makeup quickly. 

Determine the best material

Before buying a makeup bag, think about potential travel mishaps that could occur. Are you prone to spills? Do you tend to overpack? What if your luggage takes a beating in the cargo hold? Keeping that in mind, choose a cosmetic case material that works for you. Leather and nylon handle makeup spills and dirt well, while cases made of neoprene or mesh will keep your luggage lightweight. It’s hard to completely avoid scuffs and scratches, but materials such as polyester and high-quality leather hold up better than others. And if you’re someone who hates rummaging through a dark makeup bag? Go for a clear material or a bag that opens like a clamshell so you can easily see all of its contents and don't have to rummage to find, say, your waterproof mascara .

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s important not to overstuff or understuff your makeup bag. Overstuffing can cause spills and stretching/ripping of the makeup bag itself, while understuffing allows your makeup bag’s contents to move around more, increasing their chances of breaking. It’s also wise to take special care of more delicate items like brushes and glass bottles. Brushes should be strapped down and covered by a flap if possible, and you shouldn’t have to bend the bristles to make them fit. If your cosmetic case has smaller interior pockets or slots, keep glass bottles in there — if not, stand them up straight rather than laying them down, and pack other products around them to keep them from sliding around. 

Yes — just keep TSA liquid rules in mind. Like any other liquid container, makeup containers (like liquid foundation bottles, moisturizer tubes, etc.) should not exceed 3.4 fluid ounces each. If your liquid makeup goes over that limit, you’ll have to store it in your checked luggage.

Use a wet cloth, a wipe, or even an antibacterial spray and a paper towel to wipe your makeup bag clean. Just make sure you’re not using anything with bleach!

The Spruce / Amelia Manley

Storing your favorite palettes, polishes, and beauty products has never been easier, but the very best makeup organizer for you will hold your personal collection, match your style, and keep your countertop or vanity nice and tidy . We purchased 29 makeup organizers and spent weeks testing them in the real world.

We assembled each organizer, filled it with a variety of products, loaded and unloaded it several times, and even tried cleaning it. To find our top picks, we considered material, capacity, design, and structure.

Best Overall

Sorbus clear cosmetic makeup organizer.

Plenty of space

Aesthetically pleasing

Easy to clean

Takes up a good amount of space

Drawers are a bit shallow

Drawers stick when opening

After weeks of testing, the Sorbus Cosmetic Makeup and Jewelry Storage Case was our clear winner. Its three larger drawers are perfect for eyeshadow palettes, while its four smaller drawers are the right size for blushes, bronzers, and powders. The design also includes 16 slots for lipsticks (glosses, too!) and a spot for products like foundations, which are best stored upright.

Despite being made with an acrylic plastic material, this organizer feels high-quality, spacious enough for a medium-sized makeup collection, and elevated. This feeling is, in part, thanks to the addition of hardware to the drawers.

While the drawers tend to stick when opening, the unit is incredibly sturdy and functional. Plus, if you want to make your experience more customized, the Sorbus organizer's top component is detachable. So, you can have two functional storage pieces on your vanity or dresser.

Now, you may find that some of the drawers are a bit shallow and that the organizer, measuring 9.25 x 6.25 x 14.25 inches, takes up a decent amount of room. However, in our experience, this wasn't a dealbreaker and is a solution for those who currently have several types of products laying around their space. Additionally, we love that the organizer comes in several different colors and doesn't require assembly, making it an easy and stylish piece to add to any home.

Size: 9.25 x 6.25 x 14.25 inches︱ Weight: 4.76 pounds︱ Material: Acrylic plastic︱ Colors: Clear, translucent black, translucent brown, pink, purple, glitter, and tie-dye︱ Assembly Required: No

Best Rotating

Ameitech rotating cosmetic storage display case.

Can hold a lot of products

Clear acrylic is versatile

Not the most aesthetically pleasing

Feels unstable at times

Assembly directions are misleading

A makeup organizer with a rotating form offers convenience that cannot be disputed. Add in several adjustable shelves, and you have yourself a picture-perfect design.

Throughout their testing experience, our tester found the AMEITECH Rotating Cosmetic Storage Display Case checked off those boxes. At first glance, it might not be the most aesthetically pleasing organizer, especially if your makeup collection is small, but someone with a big and robust collection might find it quite beautiful once the products are on display in the 27 compartments.

Assembly is required with this organizer, and while there are directions included, there were moments when our tester had to analyze which components went where. Once put together, the entire display had a slight sense of instability until the products were arranged.

We recommend finding the perfect place on your vanity , keeping it there, and adjusting the shelves as necessary. The organizer only comes in a clear acrylic material but is sure to match a variety of spaces and make your getting-ready routine more streamlined.

Size: 9.84 x 9.84 x 14.17 inches︱ Weight: 0.05 ounces︱ Material: Acrylic︱ Color: Clear︱ Assembly Required: Yes

Best Bamboo

Sorbus bamboo makeup organizer.

Holds a lot of product for size

Great quality for price

Difficult to assemble

Takes up a lot of space

Bamboo and wood often provide a sense of warmth in any room. The Sorbus Bamboo Makeup Organizer is made with engineered wood, but our tester found it still has that natural and grounded vibe. The organizer includes two tiers and a drawer, so there are plenty of places for products to be organized.

The only major downside to the ample storage space is that the organizer is large and bulky. Measuring 12.62 x 6.37 x 13.12 inches, you'll need a decent spot on your countertop or dresser for this product.

In addition, the product was, unfortunately, a bit difficult to assemble. Since it contains several screws keeping each section in place, there is ample stability.

But, our tester said twisting the screws with both a personal and provided screwdriver was time-consuming. This lead to a low score for assembly and was a little bit off-putting. However, the organizer became one of our tester's top picks once put to use.

It is easy to clean, works with any decor, and is of great quality for the price. Not to mention, it's stable enough to hold bottles of lotion, soaps, and heavier products that may be in your bathroom, if you'd like.

Size: 12.62 x 6.37 x 13.12 inches︱ Weight: 3.96 pounds︱ Material: Engineered wood︱ Color: Natural︱ Assembly Required: Yes

Relavel Travel Cosmetic Case Organizer

Adjustable compartments

Made to withstand wear and tear

Separate compartment for brushes

Hard to wipe off shadow from interior

May want to consider sizing up

Any working makeup artist or person with a larger collection knows their kits must be organized and adaptable to whatever their current project is. When our tester tried out the Relavel Travel Cosmetic Case Organizer, they knew it was the best choice for any talented artist or makeup aficionado.

The kit comes in two sizes: a smaller, more travel-friendly design and a larger yet modest model. With 10 color and design variations, there is definitely a style that matches your aesthetic.

The adjustable interior made from Oxford fabric makes this a flexible option, too. Our tester found that almost all cosmetics were swiftly removed when they tried cleaning it, except for some more pigmented eyeshadows.

They also found it could withstand wear and tear. There were many instances where the case hit the ground, but none of the products inside sustained any damage.

Whether you are a working makeup artist or not, this organizer stood out as one of the best for its price and functionality and is hard to beat if you're looking for a spacious option. Just know: If your collection is  really  large—say, because you work weddings and events—you may want to consider sizing up.

Size: 10.3 x 9 x 3.6 inches︱ Weight:  1.49 pounds︱ Material:  Oxford fabric and nylon︱ Color:  Black, crocodile, leopard, rose gold, black marble, white marble, pink, pink with rose gold lining, peony, and striped | Assembly Required: No

Best for Travel

Béis hanging cosmetic case.

Hangs from door or rests on table

TSA-compliant clear pouch for carrying onto plane

Not as much space for larger items

There are a few things to look for in a makeup case for travel. The amount of storage inside compared to the overall size of the organizer is one of the more important parts, as that determines whether you are wasting precious space in your suitcase or bag—or not.

The BÉIS Hanging Cosmetic Case exceeds expectations in that department. It includes a TSA-friendly to-go pouch that allows you to freshen up during the flight. Once removed, there is considerable space for all of your beauty products, and two distinct compartments mean you can keep other toiletries, such as your toothbrush, away from your makeup brushes.

What is quite special about this case is the durable and reliable hanging component that saves counter space while on your trip. In our testing, the weight of the products stored inside did not cause the travel organizer to come crashing to the ground.

The organizer is water-resistant, lightweight, and easy to clean as well, with our tester only noting that there isn't much space for large items. Overall, it is something we deem essential for any traveler to have alongside their luggage.

Size: 9.75 x 7.25 x 6.5 inches︱ Weight: 1.14 pounds︱ Material: Nylon twill, vegan buffalo leather, polyethylene, and metal︱ Colors: Beige and black︱ Assembly Required: No

Best for Drawers

Oxo 4-piece complete adjustable drawer bin set.

Available in different variations

White shows dirt easily

Dividers are tricky to set in place

Not suitable for shallow drawers

A clutter-free area to get ready each day is essential for many — especially having your makeup well-organized . By opting for in-drawer organizers like the OXO Good Grips Adjustable Drawer Bin Set, they can achieve just that and not take up any counter space. While it is not the most visually appealing quartet, these OXO organizers get the job done with their adjustable dividers and Tetris-like design.

With that said, they do hold a considerable amount of product. This is especially true if you have deep drawers. (If the drawers of your vanity are too shallow, they might not close properly.)

There is no color variation with the OXO Good Grips Set, and the white does tend to show makeup smudges or dust easily. Fortunately, our tester found them easy to clean during her testing. Simply wipe them down with your favorite cleanser or  sanitizer wipe . Even a wet cloth may do the trick in some cases.

Notably, the set has several different sizes and amount variations if you're concerned about the four-piece set being enough or too much for your makeup collection. However, be prepared to play with the dividers a bit, as they can be tricky to put in place, according to our tester.

With a lifetime warranty and no-slip grips, these bins are a no-brainer, though, and can be re-purposed in a kitchen, junk drawer , or home office.

Size:  Varies︱ Weight: 0.82 pounds︱ Material:  Plastic︱ Color:  White︱ Assembly Required: No

Best for Bathroom

Latitude run vanity tower.

Surprisingly spacious

High-quality feel

Able to see products when displayed

Mirror base gets dirty quickly

Mirror can shatter easily if knocked over

Your bathroom might be the space where you prepare for an exciting day or unwind from a long one. Having a helpful organization system in place there for your makeup is key, and the Chiquana Vanity Tower accomplishes that with its matte black metal frame and glass-based tiers. Our tester found the delicate design touches to be desirable but warned the  glass gets dirty quickly  if products spill or hands are not clean.

However, the organizer won't take up too much counter space, as it is only 10 inches in length and 6.5 inches in width. And while this does seem undersized for more seasoned skincare or makeup lovers, the organizer holds a notable amount of product, making it the ideal choice for your next organizer purchase.

Plus, you don't need to assemble it upon arrival. Our tester gave it great scores all around, only docking it for flexibility since it's not customizable or adjustable at all.

Size: 6.69 x 6.5 x 10.24 inches︱ Weight: 2.68 pounds︱ Material: Metal and glass mirror︱ Color: Black︱ Assembly Required: No

Best for Lipsticks

Idesign the sarah tanno collection lipstick organizer.

Easily holds different lipstick designs

Compatible with other iDesign products

Minimal design aesthetic

Hard to clean inside holder

Cannot fit into shallow drawers

Most lipsticks are made to be displayed. The Sarah Tanno Collection Lipstick Organizer by iDesign gives every lipstick lover the perfect place to show off their collection with pride.

It is made of BPA-free plastic shaped to feature raised sides, meaning your products are accessible and won't topple over with the shake of a surface. Sure, getting into the nooks and crannies of the 18 product slots may seem challenging and did make cleaning the organizer tough, but it is nothing that a Q-tip can't accomplish and is not a dealbreaker for us.

The product also works in tandem with other iDesign products. You can stack this atop another organizer and expand your beauty storage. The matte white accents covering each lipstick slot's perimeter add a bit of personality to an otherwise mundane storage piece, as well. Just note: The organizer cannot fit into a shallow drawer, so you'll want to plan to keep it on your countertop or in a deeper drawer.

Size: 8 x 2 x 4 inches︱ Weight: Not listed︱ Material: BPA-free plastic︱ Color: Clear and white︱ Assembly Required: No

Best for Nail Polish

Stori multi-level nail polish organizer.

Holds varying bottle designs

Allows you to easily see all polish colors

Easy to clean dust and spilled polish

The STORi Multi-Level Nail Polish Organizer allows your most vibrant nail polishes to take center stage in a sleek and modern design. Using clear plastic, STORi makes it easy to know which shade you are choosing—you'll never have to rifle through a storage box again. Cleaning this material is also simple with a quality nail polish remover .

The multiple tiers take up some length on your chosen surface. However, because they are slightly stacked, you save space in terms of width. While it does slide around without any product displayed, it stays put quite well when polishes start to collect on the surface.

Our tester noted that it fit more polishes and bottle styles than they thought it would, meaning you are good to go with one organizer instead of several, as well. Overall, this product is a great buy at a low price.

Size: 3.13 x 12.25 x 6.13 inches︱ Weight: Not listed︱ Material: Plastic︱ Color: Clear︱ Assembly Required: No

Final Verdict

After several weeks of testing, our best overall makeup organizer is the Sorbus Cosmetic Makeup and Jewelry Storage Case . Our tester found it very aesthetically pleasing, with plenty of space for powders, lipsticks, foundations, and more. If you need a makeup case for travel, BÉIS' The Hanging Cosmetic Case is TSA-compliant, durable, and can easily hang on a door.

How We Tested the Makeup Organizers

We purchased and sent 29 makeup organizers to our at-home tester, who put each option to work in their home and in real-world situations for several hours. They started with unboxing each organizer and setting it up in their space. Some required  assembly  while others did not, and they noted both—as well as how difficult or easy the process was if the organizer did require assembly.

Then, they filled it with a variety of beauty products and accessories, including but definitely not limited to: a tube of mascara, concealer, foundation, nail polish, an eyebrow pencil, a set of brushes, an eyeshadow palette, a tube of lipstick, a beauty blender, a tube of sunscreen, and a toner. They rated its  flexibility  after filling it up, noting if there were any options to adjust or customize the organizer as well.

Next, they evaluated the  design  of the organizer and noted whether it was aesthetic and quality or cheap and impractical. They used the makeup organizer for several days, unloading it and loading it back up while completing their daily routines, and rated its durability.

Does the organizer wobble? Is it flimsy or easily dented if you drop it or bump into it? We answered these pressing questions. Next, our home tester tested the  ease of cleaning  each pick after sprinkling and smearing makeup on it.

Lastly, we took our entire experience with the product into consideration when rating each product's  overall value  and boiled all of our consistently applied testing data down to this list of the very best makeup organizers.

What to Look for in a Makeup Organizer

One of the first things to consider when looking for a makeup organizer is the material and how it will make your organization experience easier and more stylish. Clear acrylic plastic is a popular material for makeup organizers since it is easy to clean and allows you to see everything you have.

Often, you can choose between transparent acrylic and tinted or frosted acrylic. Choose a UV-resistant acrylic plastic to help protect your makeup from the fading effects of direct sunlight if you're using it in an area with lots of natural light.

Other materials you can choose from include bamboo, wood, nylon, and other fabrics. Bamboo can give your makeup a very natural-looking place to sit and may fit in with the style of your space. And nylon or fabric organizers are typically flexible and good for traveling with your collection. However, these materials may be harder to clean.

When shopping, it's key to also consider the size of your collection and how much makeup you use. If your collection is small or you're taking a few favorite pieces on the go, a tiny makeup organizer with separate compartments or a sturdy makeup bag might be all you need. On the other hand, if you're a makeup artist or aficionado with a large makeup collection that includes many shades of lipstick and palettes, you might want to consider a larger organizer with special compartments or a customized modular organizer that can be expanded over time.

Makeup organizers come in a range of formats. Choose the model that works best for your lifestyle, routine, and the products you reach for regularly. This might mean a simple little chest of drawers, drawer inserts, a multi-tiered rotating unit, a specialized lipstick caddy, or a modular and stacking organizer with room for a makeup artist’s large collection of products. Think about what is going to feel natural in your space, what your organizer needs to be able to hold and store, and what is also going to make getting ready that much easier.

If you have a minimal makeup routine, you can organize everything in one place, whether that’s a small dedicated makeup organizer or a makeup bag.

But, if your makeup collection consists of multiple items in every category, you can also organize makeup by product type—gathering all of your lipsticks, eye pencils, highlighters, concealers, and blushes in one place, so you can easily keep track of what you have and avoid buying repeats.

Special occasion makeup or lesser-used palettes can be stored in harder-to-reach compartments or drawers to keep them away from direct sunlight and dust between uses.

You should keep your makeup organizer wherever you apply your makeup. For some, this is a bathroom cabinet or counter. For others, a dressing table. If you don’t have room to store makeup in an openly accessible place, you can store it in a nearby drawer, under the sink, or in a storage closet.

To clean an acrylic makeup organizer, take out all of your makeup and wipe down any dust or cosmetic residue on everything using a microfiber cloth. Wash makeup brushes and sponges and leave them to air dry, and wipe down tools such as eyelash curlers and tweezers with rubbing alcohol to sterilize them.

Next, clean the makeup organizer itself with mild dish soap diluted in water or your favorite cleaning product, and wipe until thoroughly dry. Then place your clean makeup and brushes into your clean makeup organizer.

Be sure to do this regularly (at least once a month) to keep your makeup station clean and hygienic. In addition, be sure to consult any instructions that come with your product when it comes to care and maintenance.

The 10 Best Travel Makeup Bags for Organized Chaos

From brands like Away, Beis, and Calpak.

If you buy something from the links on this page, we may earn a commission. Why Trust Us?

The best travel makeup bags of course come in many shapes and sizes, but our team of editors and experts came together to find the most incredible options for every type of makeup lover out there. Whether you only have a couple of staple products or have had to seriously consider bringing an additional carry-on to fit all of your beauty favorites during your travels, we've included options for you. Below, read on to find the best travel makeup bag for you.

The Best Travel Makeup Bags

• Best Overall: The Small Toiletry Bag
• Best Budget: Queboom Travel Makeup Bag
• Best Organizer: Hunter Neoprene Toiletry Bag
• Best Multi-Compartment: The Dopp Kit
• Best Bulk: Skkn by Kim Vanity Bag

What to Consider

When selecting the best travel makeup bag for yourself or for a giftee, you have a few things to consider before pressing "add to cart." First, you should check out how much space you really have in your travel backpack or carry-on to fit additional storage essentials. Then, you have to think about what you're putting in the bag. Will it only be small makeup items, or will you also want to throw in skincare essentials, small toiletries, and hair accessories? Once you have figured that out, consider the type of material your makeup bag should be. How important is it for you to be able to wash this? If it's a must, you'll obviously want something waterproof.

How much space do you have in your luggage to add a travel makeup bag? Will you mostly be throwing it into a weekender or a large suitcase that has miles of space inside? Consider what you're working with on the road (and in your perhaps very full closet), then peep at the travel makeup bag's dimensions to ensure it'll fit easily into your packing routine.

Laura Geller , a New York City-based makeup artist and entrepreneur who has her own namesake makeup brand filled with editor-loved products, says size is perhaps the most important factor shoppers should consider.

"I tend to travel with a lot of makeup so I can switch up my looks when I’m on my trips. I find a lot of the ones on the market are very small and only hold a few things, so I’m always on the hunt for one that can hold a lot," she explains. "Additionally, I like one that can lay flat ( hanging organizers work here, too) so that I can easily find everything, and I’m not rummaging for a product at the bottom of a bag."

Compartments

Are you a Type A traveler who needs everything divided into certain spaces? For example, will you want your blushes to stay in one pocket, your concealers to stay in another, and your brushes securely placed in built-in brush holders? Or, could you care less and just want something that'll fit everything?

"I love one where you don’t have to be worried about organizing all of your makeup, that holds a lot of product and is easy to find your items once it’s been opened," said Geller.

Either way is right, so long as it's what you or your giftee want. When looking for a travel makeup bag, make sure that it has enough compartments, pockets, and dividers to fulfill your needs.

Washable Material

If you or your giftee have experienced an exploded concealer or liquid blush from time to time, then you know how important a washable (specifically, a machine-washable) travel makeup bag is. Many of the best travel makeup bags on the market are made with at least wipeable material that makes for an easy clean-up.

How We Selected

Our product experts tested these travel makeup bags at home, on the road, and, of course, in the air and at hotels. We judged makeup bags for their organizational features, space, material, and giftability. Some of these selections have been used for years and years, while other newer ones have been put through the wringer for at least a few weeks. When we weren't traveling, we simulated the experience by bringing these travel makeup bags with us to the gym and to the office to determine how well they fit into commutes and luggage.

If we weren't able to test a bag, we conducted thorough research, vetted the brand, or took our expert's recommendations on what features a good travel makeup bag needs to be useful.

Why Trust Us

I have more than half a decade's worth of experience professionally testing and reviewing travel essentials and makeup. Additionally, I reached out to our beauty editor for her expert picks, as well as professional makeup artists who travel a lot to include their choices.

Away The Small Toiletry Bag

I wasn't at all shocked at the high quality of Away's Small Toiletry Bag — the beloved travel brand is known for its innovative creations that combine organization and aesthetics to create truly remarkable accessories, bags, and luggage .

What makes this travel makeup bag the best of the best is its sleek and useful features. The zip-up bag has two sections each with zip-up mesh enclosures that allow you to see your contents without having them spill on top of each other. One section is a deep pocket that is capable of fitting bigger items like hairbrushes, serums, or cleansers. The other side includes five brush holders as well as more open space for any additional items.

While the name says it's small, I found I was able to fit a lot of products inside, including several blushes, five brushes, cleansers, foundations, serums, and more.

The shape of the bag as well as the nylon material it's made with make for a sturdy traveler that can be smooshed a bit to fit into tight bags, but will keep its shape enough so that your items won't be crushed throughout your journey.

But, if any travel mishaps do occur and foundation spills or powder gets everywhere, you can easily wipe off smudges and stains since the interior is coated for easy wipe-downs.

This makeup bag comes in four chic and aesthetically-pleasing colorways. The white option would make a great gift for brides before they embark on honeymoons and the black would be a great gift for your boyfriend and his toiletries (he could use the brush holders for combs and other essentials).

When it comes to travel makeup bags, you'll be hard-pressed to find one more dependable than this.

Queboom Queboom Travel Makeup Bag

If you're on a tight budget or are perhaps buying a bunch of travel makeup bags to gift your bachelorette party, or group of girlfriends before a trip, or are grabbing several as gifts for teens for your nieces or kids, you won't break the budget with this style.

Under $10, this Amazon favorite is similar to the Away bag in that it has a clamshell opening, a sturdy handle, and makeup brush holders (six to be exact). Though each side of this bag isn't sectioned off with zip-up closures, you will get a detachable zipped-up pouch with this buy. The addition comes in handy for hair ties, bobby pins, or jewelry that can easily be lost during travel.

Additionally, this bag is waterproof on the inside and outside, so you or your giftee can clean it up easily post-travel by simply tossing it in the washing machine.

There are a whopping 25 color options and patterns to choose from, but we're partial to this muted sage green or this bold yellow that would come in handy if you often lose things (nothing's easier to spot in a messy closet than a makeup bag that essentially glows in the dark).

Dagne Dover Hunter Neoprene Toiletry Bag

This travel makeup bag comes with so many goodies inside, you'll feel like it's Christmas opening it up. In addition to the three makeup brush holders, and a built-in mesh pocket, the bag comes with two removable zip-up pouches (the small size only has one). One's long and narrow and is great for holding combs, additional brushes, and mascara, while the other bigger option is stellar for organizing flat products like highlighters and powders.

The washable bag comes in small and large sizes and has three different finishes: neoprene, air mesh, or seasonal. It also comes with a unique locking securing system. Once you zip it up, you can then take each side fold and button it down so it's more compact.

Also, when you buy this bag you'll get a free duster to keep it in while you store it. However, I like this bag so much that I use it as my daily makeup bag. It's big enough to fit the essentials — I have two sunscreens, concealer, foundation, two blushes, a mascara, and a few eyebrow products in now — but doesn't take up a lot of coveted bathroom or closet space.

The quality of this travel makeup bag is impressive. Though it's flexible, the thick fabric keeps glass products protected from breaking during transit while still fitting into tight quarters inside bags or luggage.

Beis The Dopp Kit

If you're looking for a travel makeup bag that will fit a lot of products, look no further. This dual-compartment design from Beis is a big boy with big storage capabilities.

"Even though Beis lists dimensions on their website, I was still surprised by how big the Dopp kit was," said Best Products tester and writer Lauren Gruber . "I was able to fit my daily makeup and brushes in the top compartment and my skincare and perfume in the bottom compartment, which claims to be spill-proof."

She says the separate sections made it easier to organize all of her cosmetics and additional toiletries — there are two interior slip pockets to keep your toothbrush and medications separate.

This travel makeup bag also features a loop at the top that you can use in your bathroom or hotel room on towel hooks. "The design is very attractive and I love how it comes in so many colors coordinate with the rest of your Beis luggage," Gruber continued. "I could also see myself using it to keep my portable chargers, cables, and pens organized for a longer trip. I was packing into the Beis Front Pocket Carry-On Roller and I did find that it was difficult to get the Dopp kit to lay flat inside of my luggage when packed to the brim. For that reason, I would suggest pairing it with a larger piece of luggage like the Check-In Roller. "

Skkn By Kim Vanity Bag

To be honest, at first glance, I was thoroughly unimpressed by this $70 travel makeup bag. The floppy construction and minimal pocket and compartment options seemed like proof that it was overpriced and overhyped.

However, after giving this bag a chance, I realized just how useful the XL holder can be — thanks to the elastic loop system inside. The nine loops are meant for the brand's entire skincare system but do a stellar job at holding everything from contact solutions, serums, cleansers, foundations, shampoos, and more essentials. I didn't realize how big of a game-changer this was until I loaded it up on my own for a five-day trip.

Usually, I throw toiletries into my suitcase and hope for the best, but this bag allows for everything I need to stay in one spot. From small concealer brushes to large bottles of lotion, I fit it all.

Will this bag take up a good chunk of space in carry-on bags? Yes. But you'd be using that space regardless, so you might as well do so in an organized fashion.

It only comes in one colorway because Kim Kardashian famously loves muted and matching aesthetics, so don't expect any patterns. It'd make a great luxury gift for somebody who loves to Keep Up and has a mini Sephora store in their home.

Lay-n-Go Lay-n-Go Cosmo Drawstring Organizer

Geller recommends a travel makeup bag that's a bit unique to the average consumer. "I love this one from Amazon," she said of the Lay-n-Go. "I love it so much I actually got it for my entire marketing team as a holiday gift one year."

The clever style cinches up into a pouch bag but once loosened, lies flat like a pancake so you can see all of your products easily. Thanks to the dozen+ makeup loops throughout the bag, your concealers, brow gels, and mascaras will remain in place no matter what position the bag's in.

In addition to these holders, the travel makeup bag also has a zip-up pocket to hold smaller items like rings, watches, or hair ties.

This is a great gift idea for makeup lovers who perhaps get a little messy in hotel bathrooms with all of their belongings. They'll be able to see all of their makeup while getting ready for the day without having to take everything out and leave it in the sink... not that this has ever happened.

It comes in 30 pattern options ranging from neutral blacks and blues to eye-catching leopard and camo. Choose whatever fits your giftee's style for a more customized element.

KUSSHI Washable Travel Makeup and Cosmetic Everyday Bag

The Best Products beauty editor Nicole Saunders has endless knowledge on all things makeup. Seriously. Ask her anything and she'll know the answer and give you 17 recommendations in 16 seconds. So, of course, we had to tap her for some of her most coveted travel makeup bag recommendations.

"I love my Kusshi makeup bags and highly recommend them as a beauty gift to yourself or a loved one," she said. "They're available in two types of materials — fabric and leather — but I prefer fabric because it's cheaper and easy to clean if makeup accidentally gets on the exterior or interior lining. Speaking of, the vast variety of colorways to select ensures it matches everyone's personal style. I'm personally obsessed with the Candy Apple Red fabric with leopard interior because it's easy to spot in my workbag or suitcase."

There are three sizes to chose from, including the Everyday which holds up to 10 products, Signature which fits up to 20 products, and Vacationer which carries up to 30 products.

She says she can fit a good amount of product in the Signature size option, including foundation, powders, blushes, brushes, and lipsticks. We also got our hands on the Vacationer, and wow. That thing will fit your entire makeup collection easily. It just might also take up half of the space in your weekender/ carry-on...

Stoney Clover Travel Large Pouch

If you're looking for a beauty gift for somebody who loves glitz, glamor, and personal touches, look no further than a Stoney Clover pouch. These have long been loved by the internet for their chic design that photographs super well. You can choose to customize pouches (monograms are an extra $24 and patches are an additional $15) or get pre-made designs like this travel one, which will likely ship faster.

While they're great for holding pretty much everything, from brushes to snacks, expect a bit of chaos inside since there aren't any pockets, pouches, or brush holders to utilize. However, if you're just looking for something cute that'll hold whatever you need, this is a great option.

I've had this travel makeup bag for years and it's so handy at keeping literally everything I own in one spot. I use it as bulk storage for when I'm traveling for a long amount of time and have found it to be great at fitting larger items, like contact lens solutions, serums, and fragrances.

My only major qualm about this bag is that there aren't any pockets, slots, or makeup brush holders that would organize my items. So, when I use it, I expect a bit of chaos and a bit of my time rummaging through it. It's hard to find another makeup bag out there as cute and as giftable, though.

In addition to being a stellar travel makeup bag, this pouch could also be a useful pencil pouch, accessories holder, or desk organizer.

BAGSMART Toiletry Bag

Hanging toiletry bags are great options that double as travel makeup bags. This best-selling one from Amazon has four different compartments, a bunch of inner pockets, and elastic straps that hold everything from shampoo bottles to eyeshadow palettes. To top it all off (literally) a hanger head is attached so you or your giftee can easily hang the bag on racks at home or in hotels.

The different compartments have useful design features like elastic straps and double zippers to hold large bottles upright and in place. The transparent sides are also great because you can peak inside and note what you have without having to unzip the entire bag and search through it.

Choose from 2 size options and 8 colorways to match your luggage or aesthetic.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Makeup Bag

Another recommendation from Saunders, this travel makeup bag from celebrity makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury is compact but chock-full of useful design elements.

"It's the perfect gift for someone like me who has a sizeable beauty collection and wants to keep everything as organized as possible," Saunders explained. "I have a compartment for eyeliners, brow pencils, and mascaras, another for eyeshadow quads and singles, and one solely for my lipsticks. It's a small detail, but I appreciate that the zipper never gets stuck, which has happened more often than not with other makeup bags I've tested. Not only is this bag functional, but it's stunning! The classic pillow talk pink faux leather exterior with the cheeky lip and lipstick print is gorgeous and lives proudly as a display piece on my shelf."

The accordion-style bag has five compartments, a zipper pouch, and a zipper closure. And, perhaps most importantly, it features a bold lip design that's the same color as the brand's iconic Pillow Talk lipstick .

Caraa Vanity Kit

Caraa Travel Vanity Kit

Here's the quick pitch: Caraa's Vanity Kit is a nine-compartment travel beauty tote constructed with water-resistant nylon and a wipe-clean interior. It can store full-size bottles, has a cross-body strap to free up your hands, and has a metal hook for easy hanging once you get to your hotel. When we say it fits a lot, we mean  a lot .

Before you place that Walmart order, add this Thinkspace Beauty Storage Organizer to your cart.

Koolatron Cosmetics Fridge

For beauty lovers who are  not  messing around, behold the Koolatron Cosmetics Fridge. Some skin-care products work and feel better when they're slightly chilled, whether it's a matter of the shelf stability of ingredients, the efficacy of a metal or stone roller tool, or simply your temperature preference.

If you share your fridge with roommates or family, you may not want to store your products next to a Tupperware of leftover chicken or deal with accusations that you're hogging precious space. Instead, keep your skin-care products and tools cold in a personal fridge that doubles as an LED-lit mirror. It's quiet, lightweight, and even fits a La Croix or two.

To top it all off, there's a handy drawer with a magnetic closure for items like  Beautyblenders  or cotton pads. And the flip-out mirror? Perfection.

Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case

Anthropologie

If you're taking your makeup collection on the go, a travel bag like this Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case is your best bet.

Its clear build is made of water-resistant PVC, making it super easy to keep track of everything you packed.

Caboodles Rock Star Grande Cosmetic Case

Ulta Beauty

Caboodles's Rock Star Grande Cosmetic Case is the real deal. The exterior has a super sweet lace overlay and opens to reveal four fold-out trays and a deep, wide center. You can rest easy knowing there are two locking clasps with keys to keep all your essentials safe. It's the ideal case for a burgeoning makeup artist tasked with doing glam for a friend's photoshoot or (dreaming big here) if you're the titular rock star on a US tour, trying out a different look in every city.

iDesign Clarity Vertical Plastic Palette Organizer

The iDesign Clarity Vertical Plastic Palette Organizer is great for anyone who collects makeup palettes like it's their job. With nine dividers at your disposal, you can easily fit all of your favorite small, medium, and large palettes, and make sure to keep the not-so-new ones at the front of mind thanks to the open display.

Each case is crafted with Argentinian pebbled leather and offered in a ton of stylish colors. We'll take them all, please.

Onxe Makeup Organizer

The spaciousness of the Onxe Makeup Organizer can handle your entire artillery and then some. The open upper layer allows you to display your favorite, dare we say, most aesthetic products, while the lower drawers are great for the pieces that have seen more wear and tear (we prefer the term "well-loved"). The organizer is easy to clean and waterproof, so there's no need to worry about unsightly spills and smears. Also…it's pink.

Relavel Travel Makeup Train Case

The Relavel Travel Makeup Train Case isn't just great for bringing on trips, it's also an excellent alternative to drawers and on-the-counter storage options if you prefer to keep some of your products out of plain sight. The adjustable compartments make it convenient to organize your makeup exactly how you want. Plus, the dedicated brush holders are great for quick access. This is another excellent choice for a makeup artist or a loved one who's a beauty influencer in the making.

Brightroom 12 Compartment Bamboo Countertop Organizer

Our favorite part of this attractive, minimalist 12 Compartment Bamboo Countertop Organizer from Target's home brand Brightroom is its magnetic front panel, where you can pop on metal hair accessories like clips and bobby pins. Whether you put it on your vanity or bathroom counter, the wood's natural finish creates a calmness around your cosmetic collection, pretty enough to proudly display. The two larger storage compartments fit nail polishes, perfume bottles, compact blushes, and the like, while the more narrow slots are perfect for brushes, shadow sticks, lipsticks, and mascara tubes.

Umbra Glam Cosmetic and Accessory Organizer

The Umbra Glam Cosmetic and Accessory Organizer's open design makes it easy and quick to see and access all of your favorites, and its clean lines and white exterior look good anywhere. Pop it under the sink if you need to save counter space, or set it on your desk for some much-needed company while you WFH. It's simple, stylish, and backed by a five-year manufacturer's warranty for ultimate peace of mind.

Makeup Forever

Makeup Forever Professional Bag

Make Up For Ever

You're as serious about beauty as it gets. You've put "makeup artist" in your Instagram bio and are building a small but loyal clientele. So, it's time to store your tools like the one-woman small business you are (!). The Makeup Forever Professional Bag is as functional as it gets — big, with lots of compartments, plenty of mesh pockets, a handle, and a strap for easy transport. You'll be able to easily fit every shade and product you need to perform your makeup magic.

PB Teen Glam Beauty Cart

If you have a tween, odds are they've begged for PB Teen pieces in the past. You're finally folding and considering this PB Teen Glam Beauty Cart, and for good reason. The cart ages well alongside your kid, and will weather the countless design changes their bedroom undergoes before college comes. It has multiple compartments for makeup, skin care, hair tools, shower essentials, and more. Oh, and even though the brand has "Teen" in its name, it doesn't mean it won't fit right into your own,  very  grown-up room. It can be our little secret.

Yuilgdo Makeup Organizer

The Yuilgdo Makeup Organizer features a 360-degree rotating section for your easiest, classiest sorting yet. Its kinda-retro-kinda-modern look is lovely, and its spacious design accommodates all your favorites. Its polished plastic exterior makes for easy cleanup, and the many compartments create endless storage combos. Grab it for yourself or as a gift for the beauty aficionado in your life with the most flawless technique but the most chaotic countertop you've ever seen. Ok, yours might be even more chaotic. Great minds think alike.

About Makeup Organizers & Storage | Walmart Canada

Tidy up your cosmetics collection with a makeup organizer  .

Having a large collection of makeup allows you to create a seemingly endless number of gorgeous effects. Still, it's challenging to use everything to the fullest when you have difficulty locating your favourite products. A makeup organizer can help you arrange everything neatly to tidy up your bathroom, bedroom, or dressing area and speed up cosmetics application. Walmart Canada stocks a wide range of makeup storage solutions, ensuring you can find something well suited to your needs.  

Benefit from many makeup storage solutions in one  

Often, a variety of makeup storage solutions is necessary to store all types of cosmetics in one location completely. As a result, many makeup organizer products combine different kinds of storage. Look for tall divided holders to keep makeup tools and accessories stashed within quick reach. Smaller sections can also hold pencils, crayons, and cosmetic tubes like lipstick and mascara. A cosmetic organizer with multiple storage options will also usually include closed drawers for other items. Some even have built-in cosmetic mirrors for checking your appearance.  

Corral clutter with a makeup drawer organizer  

A makeup drawer organizer may be the solution if your vanity, dressing table, or dresser is overflowing with cosmetics. This type of makeup organizer has a wide, shallow design to fit inside most standard drawers. Typically, cosmetic organizer drawer inserts feature separated compartments. The design may include sections of uniform size for one kind of makeup like nail polish or an assortment of sizes to suit different kinds of cosmetics.  

Consider makeup drawers for small odds and ends  

Makeup drawers are a smart makeup storage solution for a large collection of eye and face cosmetic palettes or a large set of cosmetic brushes. Drawers can go on top of a vanity or dressing table to keep your cosmetics close at hand. Because drawers offer closed storage, this type of makeup organizer gives your cosmetic application station a neater appearance and protects cosmetics from dust. Some cosmetic organizer drawers have more than one level, while others are stackable and sold individually.  

Find everything fast with an acrylic organizer  

When you're rushing to get ready for work or an evening out, you don't have time to search for a particular eyeliner or lipstick. An acrylic organizer can make applying cosmetics in a hurry much easier. This type of makeup organizer is made from durable transparent plastic, allowing you to see everything inside. Manufacturers produce everything from makeup drawer organizer products to makeup storage bins out of the material.  

Discover the right cosmetic organizer in minutes  

In the selection of makeup bags and travel cases available at Walmart.ca, you can discover makeup organizer products in a wide range of styles, sizes, and shapes. Whether you want makeup drawers to stack or a small acrylic organizer for your vanity, makeup storage solutions are available to suit your needs. Browse all of the cosmetic organizer products now to find the right option for you.
