How to Choose the Right Size for Your Cosmetic Bags

Choosing a cosmetic bag isn't about being too big or too small, but it can be a real dilemma. We all consider the volume and compartmentalization when buying a bag, and the same principle applies to cosmetic bags. The key points are: what to pack, how much to carry, and how to pack.

First, let's talk about what to pack. If you only carry a lipstick and a cushion, a palm-sized mini bag will be more than enough. But for a makeup hoarder like me, I crave eyeshadow palettes, foundation, and makeup brushes. In this case, you need a bag that unfolds into a mini-dressing table. Many brands now offer foldable cosmetic bags that can hold seven or eight items at once, even mascara, standing upright. They're perfect for business trips.

The size of your bag depends on how much you're carrying. A medium size is sufficient for a short trip, but if you're going abroad for two weeks, a large size is recommended. Here's a little trick: Lay your makeup out flat in your suitcase, measure the space it takes up with a tape measure, and add two centimeters of cushioning space. That's the size of the bag you need. Don't underestimate those two centimeters; they're essential for stuffing extra bottles of sunscreen.

How you pack your makeup directly impacts the user experience. If you like to organize your makeup, choose a bag with compartments. For lazy people like me, look for a large main compartment with external pockets. I recently discovered a magical tool—a transparent PVC bag. It shows all your makeup at a glance, eliminating the need to dig through drawers for an eyelash curler. Some high-end bags even have mirrors, so you don't have to use your phone as a mirror for touch-ups.

Finally, a reminder: don't just go by the looks! Some bags may look large, but the lining is actually wavy and won't fit square compacts. Before buying, it's best to take photos of your frequently used makeup and ask customer service if it will fit. I've already made a mistake myself. I bought a popular online model, but my blush case got stuck in the crack and couldn't be removed, so I ended up using it as a regular storage bag.
