7 Reasons Your Makeup Products Should Have a Proper Makeup Bag!

Girls hate it when things get messy. We like to be organized and plan ahead. We would hunt down anyone who ruins our perfectly organized lives. That is why many of us want to look for tools that keep our things tidy in the long run. 

Our makeup is one major thing we absolutely cannot bear to see destroyed. So, I am here to tell you which makeup bag will keep your products safe and away from the hands of those who want to destroy the things that make us look a little prettier than we already are!

How do you know if a makeup bag is good:

The question is not which bag is good, but which bag is bad. Some of us have been using the same old designs and need help with certain aspects. Now, I’m not saying you need to upgrade to a newer design just to conform to the standards, but you may wanna reconsider if your bag actually has problems like:

• Non-functional, barely working zippers.
• Stiff material that makes it hard to open
• Material that wears off, like your lipstick after you eat.
• No structural support: you should at least rely on structure for makeup, if not your life.
• It is not waterproof; what if I want to take it for a swim?
• Too small to hold enough items.

How to choose a makeup bag:

If you’ve made it this far into my blog, you must have evaluated whether your makeup bag is up to the mark. If not, and you want to upgrade but are unsure how to get the best one, what am I here for? 

When you look for a makeup bag, look for the following features:

High-Quality Zippers

Zippers made with rusty material ruin the beauty of your makeup bag. Make sure the zippers remain intact and glide smoothly over the zipping chain.

Space

When it comes to makeup bags, space is the most important aspect. Imagine having tons of makeup and can’t fit it all together because the makeup bag is small or not spacious enough. I once got so frustrated because I had to attend an important event and couldn’t fit all my important makeup kits in a bag. I decided never to buy a bag that has zero sense of space!

Waterproof

I will say it again: what if I take my bag swimming? Jokes aside, if the material is waterproof, it becomes easier to clean your bag or sometimes even wash it if a product spills inside. At some point, we’ve all had our shiny highlighters turn stuff into a disco ball. 

Material

Some makeup bags are so stiff that they feel like hard rocks against your fingers. They are inconvenient when you’re in a hurry. Make sure your makeup bag doesn’t become a pretty accessory that only appealing to the eyes with zero advantage for compactness and durability. I personally like makeup bags made with PU leather. It’s cost-friendly, water-resistant, and mostly feels like genuine leather.

Versatility

I kept using makeup bags that weren’t versatile and often suffered because of them. Then I thought, why not look for one designed to store my skincare products, toiletries, and makeup? So, now I look for a bag with great structural support, multiple compartments, and internal pockets to store other things without mixing them together. I don’t end up with eyeliner in my hand when looking for eye cream! 

 

Aesthetics

While the way your makeup bag looks isn’t the most important thing because some ugly ones are pretty handy, pleasing aesthetics will keep you entertained and in a good mood because they appeal to the eyes. Plus, a long makeup routine wouldn’t feel so bland if you’ve got vintage vibes!

Affordability

I know the struggles of finding designer makeup bags with these great features on a budget! Some personalized bags are so expensive that you could buy an iPhone with that money! Make sure you’re not spending too much when you buy one.
