I started wearing makeup when I was 13 and let me tell you, I’ve done my makeup everywhere. At the bathroom sink? Check. Sitting in front of a floor-length mirror? Check. A quality vanity with drawers to put my things in? Check. Now that I’m a college student and I’m constantly spending weekends back home, sleeping at my boyfriend’s apartment, and moving between dorms, apartments, and houses, the one method of organizing my makeup that has proven itself tried and true is a good ol’ makeup bag.
Whether you are thinking about splurging on new makeup products or you’re like me and like to throw all of your beauty products in one bag, a cute makeup bag that’s functional and spacious is essential. Nothing gets me more excited to do my makeup than seeing my products in a makeup bag that fits my aesthetic. With all of the options that are out there, it can feel overwhelming to find the one true makeup bag that speaks to you and gets the job done right. These cute makeup bags are guaranteed to keep your products organized and look adorable sitting on your bathroom sink or in your suitcase.
