Getting started with your Standing Makeup Bag

How to stand the bag up on your counter, organize the main space and ten pockets, and pull the drawstrings closed for travel.

Your Standing Makeup Bag stands upright on its flat base with its wide opening facing you. You can see everything at once instead of digging through a flat pouch. When you're ready to go, two drawstrings pull it closed.

Before the first use

  • Check the bag over for any damage from shipping.
  • Open it fully and look at the inside layout: one main space and ten pockets.

Setting it up on your counter

  1. Loosen both drawstrings and open the top fully.
  2. Stand the bag on its flat base on your counter or vanity.
  3. Turn the wide opening toward you.

Organizing the inside

  • Main space: brushes, palettes, and full-size bottles and tubes.
  • Four zippered pockets: small things that could get lost, like jewelry, hair ties and lip balm.
  • Six open pockets: items you want within easy reach.

Putting small items in the pockets keeps them from sinking to the bottom.

Closing it for travel

  1. Pull both metal-tipped drawstrings evenly until the opening closes tightly.
  2. Fold the top over.
  3. Pack the bag in your purse, tote, gym bag, backpack or carry-on.

Tips

  • Make sure every bottle and jar is tightly closed before you pull the drawstrings.
  • Don't overfill the main space. A bag that's packed too full won't close tightly or stand as well.
