An easy, cute, everything-at-your-fingertips gift for bridesmaids? Makeup bags! And thanks to independent designers, makeup bags for bridesmaids are now cuter than ever.

One of the best bridesmaid gift ideas is the makeup bag: the trusty keeper of your beloved lipstick, your best bronzer, and the contouring kit you can count on. When you travel, what’s your number one bag to pack? Your makeup bag! When you wake up in the morning — after coffee, obvs — what’s your first go-to? Your makeup bag! It’s part of your daily routine.

Emma here and recently my makeup bag broke. The zipper had been zipped so many times, crammed to its peak with concealer and one tube too many of lipstick, and finally, it gave out. So now I have to find a new one.

Granted, I had spilled my share of mascara at the bottom, my eyeshadow broke once and there’s still powder left in the creases, and the time my brightest blush compact broke still haunts me with its bright pops of color — all over the liner. It’s time for a new one and, on my quest for my new keeper of makeup, I made this list.

If you’re looking for the best makeup bags, this list is your ultimate source. From big cosmetic clutches to small coin purses, personalized makeup bags for bridesmaids to seriously stylish leather dopp kits to match the guys, you’ll find the perfect makeup bag for bridal party attendants of all styles. In this list, you’ll find cosmetic bags for bridesmaids with stripes, leopard spots, waffle fabric and linen; there’s vinyl, confetti, retro 90’s and leather. You won’t find a more comprehensive list of cosmetic bag gifts anywhere!
