There is just one main compartment.
The pouch itself isnt just prettyits practical, too.
The lightweight bag can be packed in your carry-on, suitcase, purse, or other personal item.

The compartments are not versatile enough to fit full-size products.
In those instances, a hanging makeup bag is the way to go.
We love how adaptable this portable clear bag is.

The included funnel may not fit in the bag when the bottles are placed inside.

While the majority of the exterior is clear, the trim comes in 19 colors.
Other thoughtful touches include color-coordinated zippers, a water-resistant shell, and dual lay-flat top handles.

Monogrammed items cost extra and are final sale.

The compartments are not quite as deep as in some other options on this list.
Currently, the trim only comes in one color: navy.

Some larger items might not fit inside.
The transparent design is strong and waterproof and comes with a classic black or white trim.

One such bag is permitted per passenger.

If your makeup bags do not hold any liquids, they are not held to the same screening guidelines.
