Amazon's $15 Makeup Bag Is the Perfect Vanity Organizer

Every minute spent rifling around your luggage for that eyeliner you swore you packed means precious vacay time lost. Rather, corral loose makeup brushes and stray hair ties with a handy makeup bag. Whether you're traveling or just trying to organize your vanity, cut through the clutter by investing in a cosmetic case that neatly stashes everything from your liquids to powders. Unlike standard toiletry bags, many makeup bags feature smart pockets specifically designed to fit eyeshadow palettes and mascaras while waterproof lining keeps messy mishaps minimal.

Our Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty, Health & Sustainability Lab and Textiles Lab influenced our list of recommended makeup bags, which includes picks from top-tested brands like Calpak and Dagne Dover. Safeguard your makeup routine — from full-sized setting sprays to beauty sponges — as you travel. Below you'll find the best makeup bag that suits your need, no matter if you need a large makeup bag organizer to keep your cosmetics on deck or a small TSA-approved cosmetics bag that'll help you clear security in a wink.
