This high-quality makeup bag has a structured silhouette and a gorgeous monochrome Art Deco print. It's ideal for everyday use but is also perfect for using as a wash bag for a weekend away. Pretty and practical.

2. Narwey Portable Lazy Drawstring Makeup Bag
These drawstring makeup bags tick lots of boxes... Not only are they waterproof and wipe-clean, you can fit an awful lot of goodies in there.
It's easy to do up, and is large enough to store all the essentials, including your skincare and brushes, and even some palettes.
On top of that, it's super-affordable and comes in a variety of cute, trendy prints. We love the cute grey and pink flamingo print for a cool tropical vibe.

5. Caroline Gardner Heart Print Cosmetics Bag
Chic and elegant yet fun and playful, we love this heart-print makeup bag by Caroline Gardner.
As well as being a bit of a looker, it's also really practical, with a wipe-clean inner and Andy pocket for all those smaller essentials you can never find (like tweezers).

6. Maange 2 Pack Marble Makeup Bag Leather Cosmetic Bag
We'll never tire of chic marble, and we love how it's been used as a fun print on this trendy makeup bag.
This set is fantastic value, and comes with two bags in different shapes to suit your needs; the square makeup bag is really handy for travelling and overnight stays, and the half-moon pouch is perfect for everyday use.
The gold zip adds an extra bit of glam, and we're totally here for it.

7. Ganni Leopard Print Recycled Wash Bag
Okay, this is officially called a wash bag as opposed to a makeup bag... But you can absolutely use it as both. In fact, its versatility is a huge bonus, and you could even use it as a clutch bag if you so desired.
One can never have too much leopard print, and this makes a super-stylish option for travel as well as everyday use. Large enough to fit all your brushes and skincare too. An investment that's worth making.

8. Paul & Joe Cat Cosmetics Pouch
Calling all cat-lovers... this one's for you. Seriously, how cute is this? The Paul & Joe bag is a kitsch design-led piece that's a little tongue-in-cheek.
But there's more going for it than just the vintage-y design - the cosmetics pouch is large and will easily fit in all your makeup essentials. There's also slim compartments for easy-access to those smaller items.
It's a purchase that will leave you feline fine...
