Looking for a travel makeup bag?  Exotic and colorful fabrics like beaded silk, sheer metallic mesh, jacquard or brocade satin add a touch of beautiful elegance.  Fun materials like jungle prints, reptile embossed faux leathers, clear vinyl, hippie prints and tropical flowers work well for women of all ages.

Small zippered pouches in bright and cheerful colors are the perfect size for carrying just the basics like mascara, eyeliner, a compact of pressed powder, eye shadow, lip color, blotting papers, and a small perfume roll-on or spritzer.  These types of makeup bags travel well in a purse, carry-on or backup. 

Satchel-type makeup bags are significantly roomier inside and more purse-like.  They usually come with zippered closures, handy carrying straps, and multiple compartments both inside and out and work well for storing your makeup essentials in a suitcase.

Envelope-style makeup bags have a fold over flap just like an envelope and are also referred to as a clutch.  If you select this type of makeup bag for your travels, look for an interior zippered compartment to prevent items from slipping out of the bag’s top.

Designer makeup bags such as those that incorporate the art of legendary tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy are one of the hottest brands used by celebrities.

If you need a larger makeup bag for carrying bigger items, try a travel toiletry bag.

Hot Tip:  To keep your jewelry kink and tangle-free while traveling, be sure to also get a jewelry travel organizer.
