Sometimes it’s the little things that bring us the most joy. And in this case, we’re talking about makeup bags (aka the unsung heroes of any good accessory collection). Sure, splurging on a designer bag for your beauty products may seem a bit indulgent, but cosmetics cases are essential for staying organized—so why not invest in one you really love? Plus, consider the cost per wear: You’ll basically use it every day, and the right bag will last for years.

If you’ve been thinking of upgrading your makeup bag, prepare to be obsessed with these 20 options. Whether you use it at home, for travel, or simply keeping your purse organized, they’re sure to add an extra dose of glam to your day. Oh, and versatility alert: Many of these styles can also double as designer clutches, which is especially handy for travel. (We love a good two-in-one!)

On the outside, Gucci's signature green-and-red stripe and iconic double-G logo hardware. On the inside, plenty of space for all your best makeup products.

Pretend your home is the Versace mansion with this fun printed pouch.

The pebble leather is easy to clean, while the signature C logo will make your middle-school self jealous.

The leather on this is divine. Also, this can easily double as a clutch.

BRB, throwing this adorable Loeffler Randall case in my gym bag immediately.

Prada’s classic nylon accessories will never go out of style, so you’ll use this makeup bag for years to come.

That classic check will never go out of style.

Join the Tory Burch renaissance with this minimal makeup pouch. We're feeling the understated '90s energy.

You can't go wrong with the classic Fendi logo pattern.

Opt for this pocket-filled vanity case when a smaller pouch just won’t cut it—it’s large enough to hold your full-size skincare and then some.

Small in size but big in style.

We're very aligned with Cuyana's motto of fewer, better things. It doesn't hurt that this makeup set also looks five times the price.

Not everyone is comfortable with playful patterns in their wardrobe, but why not have a little fun with your cosmetics case?

This cute raffia pouch is begging to be brought to the beach. Luckily, it’s big enough to fit sunscreen, wave spray, and all your other summertime essentials.

This bag is certainly the quiet luxury pick of the bunch.

Hanging toiletry bags are always ultra convenient, and this one from the beloved luggage brand doesn’t skimp on style.

It’s technically a clutch, but it also happens to be the perfect size for storing makeup. Use it for both—we don’t make the rules!

This makeup bag is masquerading as a party clutch, and we're not mad at it.

Add some edge to your daily makeup routine.

The savviest shoppers also take a peek in the men's section. This Loewe toiletry case would be perfect for your makeup.

However, she does still have her taste for carbohydrates, love of losing sports teams, and fear of driving during rush hour. She's been in editorial for over eight years as a social media manager and writer covering beauty, fashion, and lifestyle at Glamour and People. Most recently, she was the women's editor at Express. These days, in addition to Who What Wear, you can see her byline at places like Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Ipsy, and WeWork. Both a skincare obsessive and a minimalist, she keeps her routine short, sweet, and effective—and she doesn't go a day without sunscreen. She's also deeply passionate about sustainability, and she strives to recommend products she truly believes are worth the investment. When she's not writing about the best and brightest beauty finds, she can usually be found hunting for vintage and secondhand treasures, attempting to find zen at a yoga class, bingeing Bon Appétit YouTube videos, or napping under her weighted blanket.
