Whether or not you are a makeup artist, many of us can appreciate the great organization and durability of a good makeup case. We aren’t talking about the cheap plastic bags that you simply toss all of your cosmetics into. No, we’re on about the sturdy, professional makeup cases. There are many types available, but we’re going to focus on soft cosmetic cases, aluminum cases, and train cases.

The first style of cosmetic storage we’re going to talk about is the soft case. These cases usually resemble anything from a duffel bag to a stylish tote or handbag; however the inside of a soft cosmetic bag is very different from any gym bag or purse you’ve ever used! The inside usually contains a removable organizer which has several dividers that will keep your items organized and secure. Some of these bags even feature slide-out organizer trays for quick retrieval. Pack-up is also a breeze with these, as you simply insert the divider back into the bag, zip up, and go!

Aluminum make up cases are particularly popular not only for their attractive outer shell, but because they make it so darn easy to unpack and re-pack your items! They have a trunk-like exterior and usually come in sets, with the large main case (usually equipped with wheels and a trolley handle, much like a suitcase) and a smaller matching case which fits snugly on top of the main case for easy transport. As with a soft case, an aluminum case contains many compartments for organizing your things, but the layout requires less work. Simply open the latches so that the top portion of the box folds open to reveal pop-up/pop-out drawers. Poof! All of your makeup and styling equipment is ready in a flash!

The last, yet seemingly most popular style is the makeup train case. This style is almost always boxy and usually is adorned with a carry handle and strap. They come in a huge variety of colors and are very popular in the aluminum finish. Most often, cosmetic train cases are designed so that the top portion is divided in half, where each half can fold back to expose many dividers and pop-up trays that will offer maximum organization for all of your lotions and potions.
