For stress-free travel, clear cosmetic cases offer a stylish way to organise all your beauty essentials, from makeup to skincare and SPF.
With the 100ml rule potentially on the way out, a structured clear case will allow you to easily sort and identify your products throughout your travels – regardless of whether airports will still ask you to decant your beauty essentials into the (less chic) plastic bags at security. Plus, many of the options are made of a transparent PVC fabric that is super easy to clean, minimising the effects of spills and stains.
From Anya Hindmarch to Cult Beauty, these are the best clear cosmetic cases and bags for all your travel adventures.
The iconic Anya Hindmarch clear cosmetic bag is a standout for a reason. It has two compartments meant for 'take off' and 'touch down', so you can organise all your travel essentials and avoid rummaging through your bag constantly. It's also pretty large, with sturdy zips to help any chronic overpackers.
This double-layered cosmetics case has plenty of room for all your makeup and skincare, allowing you to sort all your products into the sturdy, two-zipped compartments with ease. It also comes with travel bottles for decanting your liquids, and there are multiple colourways, including purple, pink and black.
This Paravel See-All cosmetics case makes us want to take a holiday to sunny climes ASAP. Its transparent wrap-around panel makes identifying all your cosmetics easy, and the light tan colourway is a particular favourite of the CF team, made from vegan leather with a two-way fastening.
You'll be able to pack so much skincare and makeup into this case – so you'll never feel like you've left any of your favourites behind. As sturdy as it is elegant, it unzips from the middle, so you have two large components to fill with all your beauty essentials. The smaller, still transparent compartments inside make keeping everything organised really simple too.
With all the beauty treats on offer at Space NK stores, it's perhaps not surprising that the retailer's clear cosmetics case is just as impressive. This one is large enough to squeeze in all your essentials including larger pots and awkward shapes with its two-tier design, and it has large enough clear panels to help organise everything with ease.
With a wide transparent top panel and texturised faux-croc leather trimmings, VIEVE's cosmetic case is the perfect size for all your travel makeup. Long and thin enough for larger bottles of foundation and brushes, it makes packaging, storing and finding your essentials a breeze.
Wipe-friendly and with wide clear panels, the Cult Beauty glossy transparent bag is a great way to store all your favourite beauty essentials from the retailer and beyond. It is also designed to easily squash down when not full, saving room in your suitcase without crushing more fragile products.
Designed by a makeup artist for makeup lovers, this box-shaped clear bag has useability at its heart. It is large enough for all your holiday beauty essentials and the handle makes carrying and pulling it out of a full suitcase simple, too. Its sturdy design means you can also fill it up without worrying about straining zips or weak seams.
This vegan leather-trimmed pouch is perfect for organising your smaller makeup items, and for anyone who likes to travel light when it comes to their beauty essentials. What's more it is likely to fit inside your carry on, so it's just the ticket for hand-luggage only travellers.
This compact box bag takes the clear cosmetic case and makes it colourful. The contents may be slightly harder to see into when not up-close, but it's cleverly designed to completely unzip and lay flat, so there's still no need to rummage to find all your products. It also makes packing easier as you can simply zip up the bag around your cosmetics.
This trio of clear cosmetics cases has a simple design, but with the different sizes and metallic trim it's still a stylish storage solution. It also means you can quickly separate out your toiletries, including your smaller makeup from your skincare, which can help avoid a messy hotel bathroom.
