These Make-Up Bags Are As Pretty As They Are Practical
It's finally time to re-organise that make-up stash
Make-up bags: let's be honest, we're pretty lazy with them. From foundation to lipstick, we spend a small fortune on luxury beauty products only to chuck them into an eyeshadow-stained canvas bag or grimy plastic pouch.
A luxe, designer make-up bag may not sit at the top of your list of essential purchases, but it will make you feel like you've got your life together every time you reach for it. The best make-up cases are both pretty and practical, allowing you to organise all those tiny eyeshadow brushes while making a mini style statement.
Whether you're after a chic designer pouch to make you feel fancy on a daily basis, or a practical hold-all for keeping that growing lipstick collection in check, we know just the thing. Here, see the ELLE team's favourite designer make-up bags.
