Whether you’re looking for a small makeup bag or a large, roomy option, a quilted makeup bag is a timeless choice. These stylish picks come in every color, material and price point. Here’s what we’re loving right now (and be sure to stock up—these make some of the best cool gifts under $50 and Christmas gifts for women in their 20s).
What to look for in the best quilted makeup bag
A quilted makeup bag is a type of cosmetic bag with a quilted design, typically with a padded texture for added protection. The quilting often involves stitching patterns that create a textured surface, which not only adds a stylish, elegant look but also provides extra durability for the bag’s contents.
- Design: The quilted pattern gives the bag a fashionable and sophisticated appearance, often seen in materials like faux leather, fabric or soft-touch nylon.
- Padded protection: The padding in a quilted makeup bag helps protect delicate items, such as makeup compacts and brushes, from damage during transport. It helps soften impact.
- Durability: The quilting adds strength and structure to the bag, making it more durable and resistant to everyday wear and tear.
- Organization: Many quilted makeup bags come with multiple compartments or pockets to help keep cosmetics and tools organized and easily accessible. We love quilted makeup bags with brush compartments and peekaboo windows.
