Top 10 Cosmetic Bags & Makeup Cases for Travel

Where do you carry cosmetics, haircare, and skincare supplies when you travel? If you've been relegating makeup and grooming supplies to a plastic bag, it may be time to upgrade to a nicer cosmetics case.

The best cosmetics and makeup bags have dedicated areas for different products and a protective case. When packing for your next travel getaway, consider organizing your cosmetics and makeup in one of these holders.

1. Victorinox Hanging Cosmetic Case

When the same company that makes Swiss Army knives starts making kits to tote your makeup, cosmetics, and toiletries, it's worth a second look. This sporty hanging bag is large enough to hold full-size bottles, a boon for those traveling for a length of time and need to use a particular shampoo or other hair product often.

2. Leather Train Case

The boxy shape of this cosmetics and makeup case evokes long train rides, yet this compact (8" x 6" x 6") leather bag will easily fit under an airplane seat or inside larger bags. Having its contents within reach ensures your makeup looks great when you arrive. Updated features include a waterproof case and a zip-around bottom compartment for brushes or other makeup paraphernalia.

3. Colorful Cosmetics Case in Leather

Available in a variety of colors, from girly pastel pink to serious saddle leather, this neat cosmetics case may be more useful for those who travel with hair products than makeup or cosmetics that need to be tightly organized. The interior of this bag contains six elastic pockets to hold items you don't want mingling.

4. Microfiber Cosmetics Tote

Large as a tote bag (14" x 11" x 5.5") — it even has a shoulder strap — this lightweight makeup and cosmetics organizer is very versatile. You can easily convert it to an open hanging cosmetic bag that provides access to full-size personal care items within. It conveniently features many see-through pockets, compartments, and elastic loops. B

5. Bobbi Brown Makeup Cases

Travel like a pro: Choose from the famous makeup artist's limited edition kit, deluxe beauty trunk, lipstick organizer, multi-tiered travel case with removable cosmetics tray, roll-up leather brush carrier, or faux-leather small cosmetics bags.

6. Vera Bradley Travel Cosmetics Case

Vera Bradley designs soft bags and luggage for women in a variety of pretty prints. Their light weight is ideal for travel. This 8.5" x 7.5" x 4.75" oval makeup and cosmetics case is taffeta lined, with eight dividers and a zippered lid pocket.

7. Huge Wheeled Cosmetics Case

The very largest cosmetics/makeup case we could find, this 14.5" x 9.5" x 27.5" aluminum behemoth could be useful for a makeup artist who travels on location shoots.

8. Fun & Funky Mock Croc Case for Makeup and Cosmetics

If you're a girl who says "meh!" to microfiber, you may prefer this retro train case for toting around your makeup and cosmetics. Measuring 13" x 9.25" x 7" , its exterior is updated in a choice of camouflage and eye-popping teal polka dots.

9. Baggallini Cosmetic and Makeup Case

The neat exterior of this boxy, soft-sided 12" X 10" X 6" case conceals a very well-organized makeup, cosmetics, and jewelry bag. Inside there are multiple zippered compartments and small sleeves that can hold brushes, pencils, lipsticks, and mascara. Available in basic black.

10. Customizable Makeup Binder

Arrange your cosmetics the way you like in this zippered portfolio case. The interior left side of the case features a velcroed area, and a dozen velcro dots are provided with adhesive on one side (for sticking to a cosmetic item you supply). The right side has a small, zippered mesh bag and places to hold six brushes.
