The ultimate guide to organising your makeup bag


Whatever purpose your makeup bag holds, finding the right style for the size and range of your collection makes all the difference. Pick your favourite design and colour from our range of
beautifully-embroidered makeup bags with designs that are inspired by and give back to wildlife. They provide the perfect stylish accessory, whilst being a makeup organiser for those who are never without their favourite creams, serums and mists to makeup brushes and tools.

The best makeup bag for beauty-lovers: the Open Flat

Why we love it: All the convenience and practicality of your dressing table, perfectly zipped up

If you’re a beauty devotée but need a bag that allows you to get ready in the sink, on the commute or on the floor in front of the mirror; our wonderfully practical Open Flat is the beauty bag for you. 

This clever design unzips flat to create a blank canvas for your routine on any surface, and give you a clear view of all your must-haves - no more digging around for that elusive lipstick or brow gel. Its boxy shape features two main compartments - a game-changer to keep your daily routine and special occasion makeup separate. Use the handy elasticated pockets to stop smaller tools from getting lost, and keep your brushes from covering everything with bronzer in the central zip compartment. Perfect for those who need to carry the convenience of their dressing table wherever they go.

For the everyday beauty enthusiast: the Original Makeup Bag 

Why we love it: Perfect for your daily routine & popping in your handbag 

Meet our Original Makeup Bag icon - perfect for mid-sized makeup collections, and a firm favourite with our community for so many reasons. Combining functionality and style with Elizabeth’s most-loved designs on sumptuous velvet, they feature a wipe-clean lining for messy mishaps. 

Designed to stand up on your vanity, shelf or bedside table, the flat base makes it perfect for your daily foundation, mascara, primers and smaller pots of skincare - or it can double to hold vitamins, medication or travel essentials. For a touch of everyday luxury, our beloved Honeybee design in charcoal is an instant classic that will bring joy time and time again. 

For on-the-go touch ups: the Mini Pouch 

Why we love it: A magic little multitasker, perfect for quick refreshes 

If your daily beauty routine involves dashing between the gym, coffee catch-ups and touching up after the office, our Mini Pouch is the perfect solution for you. The magic little multitasker fits right in your bag, holding all the essentials you need for a quick refresh.

More than a makeup bag, it can be used as a handbag organiser, to store tech and charger leads, or keep daily essentials like your keys, headphones and spare lip gloss always on-hand.

The best beauty bag for travelling: The Everyday Pouch 

Why we love it: your beauty bag, packing aid and clutch - all in one

Looking for a pouch that’s versatile enough to store your core makeup collection, while doubling up for multiple other uses? Our Everyday Pouch is the beauty bag for you. 

As the best large cosmetic pouch for travel (as well as everyday use), it can easily hold full-size bottles, skincare, makeup palettes and tools. Use it to keep your beauty essentials organised and spill-free in your suitcase, then carry it as a clutch for dinner to make the most of your packing space. Available in all of Elizabeth's most-loved designs, proving that practicality and beauty can go hand-in-hand.

Perfectly Personalised 


The final touch to make your makeup bag even more special? Our custom monogramming service, which allows you to add an extra personalised touch for yourself or your loved one. Add up to three initials, on your personalised makeup bag from A-Z, in beautiful gold lettering which can be embroidered onto our full design range of makeup bags. Whether you’re gifting yourself, your favourite friend, a bridesmaid or for a special occasion, create something truly special they’ll treasure for years to come.



Top tips for a perfectly-organised makeup bag 

  • Start with a fresh slate: emptying out your bag is a brilliant opportunity to rediscover your favourites and forgotten gems
  • Give your brushes some love: a quick clean of tools makes a world of difference - try storing them in zipped compartments and pockets to prevent future messes
  • Build a system: utilize sections, pockets and spare pouches to save time - one area for your main make-up, one for your handbag and a separate pouch for travel to keep life running smoothly
  • Keep on top of cleaning: Our Mini Pouch and Everyday Pouch can be popped in the wash at 30 degrees. For our Makeup Bag and Open Flat designs with a wipe-clean lining, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth. For any stubborn makeup stains, a little soap and water will do the trick, ensuring your favourite accessory stays looking beautiful for years to come.
