    Learn More About Cosmetic Bags

    Cosmetic bags are designed to hold makeup, beauty products, skincare products, and makeup accessories. They often contain several pouches and compartments and feature easily cleanable lining. Toiletry bags are used for essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and toothbrushes. These bags can also have multiple pockets, but they typically aren’t designed to securely hold smaller items like individual eye shadows.


    Whether you're searching for a new cosmetic travel bag, adding to your vintage cosmetic tote collection, or looking for new at-home makeup storage, you’ll find a wide range of unique and stylish bags from the sellers on Etsy.

    There are about as many styles of cosmetic bags as there are types of makeup. Here are a few of the most popular style options.


    • Tote style: Small cosmetic bags are usually tote-style with one large compartment and a zippered closure. Many have flat bottoms to easily set on bathroom countertops.
    • Purse style: Purse-style cosmetic bags have separate compartments, pouches, or pockets. They typically feature handles and straps for increased portability.
    • Barrel: Barrel-style cosmetic bags are flat or hard-bottomed bags that close using a drawstring or elastic wrap. They often expand flat for quick and easy packing and feature bands, snaps, or zippered pockets for organization.
    • Train case: Train cases are large cosmetic bags with a reinforced base and sides and a zippered top. They often include a mirror, several organization pockets and accessories, and enough room for an outfit or two.
    • Professional: The largest design with the most built-in organization, professional makeup bags are big enough to carry multiple versions of the same types of makeup. The size and style make it easy for beauticians to travel from client to client.
    • Hanging: Hanging cosmetic bags come in many styles and feature loops or hooks so you can hang them from bathroom towel hangers or doors. They’re perfect for travel and keeping your cosmetics organized while on the go.
    • Sets: Cosmetic bag sets are a combination of any of the above styles and usually feature varying sizes and accessories. They have a unified look and are great for extended travel or home use.
