As an avid traveler and self-proclaimed wanderer, I’m no stranger to packing mishaps. And when it comes to those horrid mini catastrophes, there’s nothing worse than opening up a toiletries bag and finding your eye shadow sprinkled all over your toothbrush and makeup swimming in a pool of body lotion. It took me a few cross-country flights to realize one giant toiletrie bag isn’t the way to go with packing all my odds and ends.
Makeup bags with organizational pockets make a huge difference. Separating makeup from the rest of your toiletries is key to keeping everything in place. Finding the right makeup bag for your travel needs can make a huge difference in your travel organization and not to mention, you’ll never have to worry about finding your razor covered in melted lip gloss. Here’s a guide to some of my favorite make up bags:
Perfect for fitting all your makeup necessities, MAC’s Brush Roll bag ($50) will hold everything from make up brushes to eye liner pencils. Roll it up and fit it into any luggage for an efficient and easy way to pack.
Trish McEvoy Effortless Beauty Planner:
Not only does Trish McEvoy’s Effortless Beauty Planner ($145) feature brush pockets and separators, it even comes with a full set of makeup—one less thing to pack for you next trip!
The master travel organizer, Bobbi Brown’s Organizer ($60) fits up to seven short-handle brushes and two removable mesh pouches. With enough room to fit all your makeup needs, it’s just one less thing to worry about on your next trip!
