How To Choose A Makeup Bag

2022-08-19 15:59:59 view:

A versatile makeup bag is essential for keeping makeup organized and protecting the inside of your wallet. A well-made makeup pouch should be easy to clean and prevent your belongings from cracking inside the bag. However, choosing the right bag depends on whether you are using it for your daily routine or travel. This is because size and durability can have a significant impact on its performance. When you find the perfect makeup bag, you'll find it much easier to find your belongings, so you can wear makeup without wasting any time.

1. Figuring Out What Type of Bag You Need

Determine if the bag is for everyday use or travel. If you're tossing the bag into your wallet and carrying it with you, a smaller bag with a single compartment is usually the best option. However, if you are looking for a travel make-up bag to hold your entire makeup routine, then you need a larger bag with multiple compartments.

If you're a professional makeup artist, you'll find a larger makeup bag that can hold your entire kit to take with you at work.

Figure out what size works best for your routine.Even in everyday and travel makeup bags, there are some variations in size. The best choice depends on your day-to-day work. For example, if you just want to take some powders, lip balm, and lipstick with you for all-day makeup retouching, you don't need much space. However, if you also want to bring eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara to turn your daytime makeup into evening wear, you'll need a bigger bag. 

Speaking of travel makeup bags, think about how long your trip usually is. If you usually travel on weekends, you don't need a very large makeup bag. However, if you travel frequently for a week or more, you may need to bring more cosmetics, so you'll need extra space.

Decide how sturdy your bag needs to be.Everyday makeup bags usually don't have to be as durable, so the soft side style works well. However, for travel bags, it is better to choose a bag with a hard appearance. This prevents the container from breaking when pushed around on an airplane, car or train.
  • Cosmetic bags with a hard exterior are often referred to as train cases.
  • You can find large bags with a hard look, similar to a suitcase or a roll-up suitcase from a professional makeup artist.
2.Choosing the Right Materials and Design

Consider a waterproof bag. Bottles and containers in bags always have the potential to crack. To prevent any liquid from damaging or leaking the bag, choose a waterproof bag made of nylon, vinyl, polyester or other waterproof fabric.

Look for a bag with a divider. In travel makeup bags, it's especially important to have bags with multiple compartments or pockets to organize your makeup. This allows you to separate facial products from other makeup products, so it's easier to rush makeup.

Because you don't usually carry too much makeup in your daily makeup bag, partitions aren't always necessary. However, you may need several compartments in order to separate items such as tissues or cotton swabs from cosmetics.

Choose a bag lined for easy cleaning. Whether it's a powder, a cream or a liquid product, some confusion in cosmetics is inevitable. Make sure the bag you choose has padding and can be easily wiped clean with soap and water. Look for one with a vinyl liner – they're usually the easiest to clean.

3.Organizing Your Makeup Bag

Use a plastic bag inside the bag. To further organize your makeup bag, you can put some products in a small, sealable plastic bag to keep items apart. Plastic bags also prevent items from spilling inside the bag, so they are ideal for fragile items, especially liquid and cream products. 

You can also use a smaller zippered makeup bag inside a larger makeup bag to separate your makeup products. For example, you might have one bag for lip products and another bag for eye products.

Pack multi-purpose items. The less stuff you put in your bag, the faster you can make up because you don't have that much to tidy up. [8] To limit the number of items in your shopping bag, look for items that offer multiple items. For example, you can include a color palette with three blushes, outlines, and highlight shadows instead of three separate compacts. 

You can also add products that have multiple uses, such as lipsticks and cheek creams that can be used as lipsticks or blushes.

An eyeshadow disc containing the correct matte tone can be used not only as a shadow, but also as eyebrow powder and eyeliner.

Buy a mini brush for your bag. It is always better to apply makeup to your fingers using a brush, even when traveling. However, instead of trying to tuck a full-size brush into a makeup bag, opt for a set of mini or travel-sized brushes. They have shorter handles, so they take up less space in the bag.


4.Tip
It is best to buy 2 makeup bags: 1 bag for daily use, 1 travel bag. Travel makeup bags should be large and carry a variety of emergency items such as eye drops, forceps, antibacterial soap, and band assistants.
