How to Pack Your Makeup Bag

When packing your makeup bag, start by considering the essentials you use daily, such as foundation, concealer, mascara, deodorant and lip balm. Put those must-have items in an easy-access compartment so they’ll be easy to grab when you need them. To keep yourself extra organized, store your skincare items like face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen in a separate pocket if you have the space available. You may also want to utilize a cosmetic pouch for smaller items like makeup brushes, bobby pins and hair ties.

Can I Bring a Makeup Bag on a Plane?

Yes, you can bring your makeup back on a plane, but there are some important things to keep in mind. Although makeup bags are a great way to keep your toiletries and cosmetics organized while traveling, remember that there are restrictions on what you can bring in your carry-on and checked baggage. Liquids, gels, and aerosols must be in containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item and placed in a see-through container like our airport-friendly clear makeup bags.

Makeup Bag Organization

A small makeup bag in your purse or backpack can be a game-changer when organizing your small everyday essentials. Instead of having loose items rolling around in your bag, a makeup bag is a great way to keep everything in one place, making it easy to find what you need, when you need it.

Toiletry Bags and Dopp Kits

Toiletry bags, also known as Dopp kits, are essential for keeping your personal care items organized when traveling. They're a convenient way to keep things like shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, body lotion , and other toiletries all in one place. They’re usually compact in size and have multiple pockets and separate compartments, making them an ideal option for storing travel-sized versions of your everyday personal care items.

How to Clean a Makeup Bag

Regular cleaning of your makeup bag is essential to maintain and extend its longevity and keep it bacteria-free. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow your makeup bag to air dry completely before packing it again.
