This Brand Makes The Cutest Makeup Bags Ever—& They Actually Fit *ALL* Of My Stuff!
August 22, 2018 by Emily Belfiore
This chic brand offers trendy-yet-practical makeup bags that help you stay cool and organized when you’re on the go. Each bag is handmade and draws inspiration from the old and the new to create inventive designs that feature punchy fabrics and quirky elements. “Our line is very sporty-meets-luxe and very masculine-meets-feminine,” Capps-Tate says. “I wanted to shy away from the typical makeup bags you see in the market that have glitter and bows all over them and do something thoughtful and cool. I want people to carry these around as accessories, like their favorite handbags.”
Henry Charles has also become an industry favorite among notable makeup artists for their spacious and ready-to-go bags. “MUAs love our bags because they’ve seen A LOT of bags and they always notice right away how unique ours are. Makeup artist faves include the Brush case, which compactly organizes their pro brushes and our Large Deluxe cosmetic bag, which has the perfect compartmentalization for one actor for on set or for the artists to use for their personal travel makeup bag,” Capps-Tate continues.
Not sure which bag matches your makeup-carrying needs? Capps-Tate ensures that there’s a bag for every type of beauty lover out there. She has a hard time playing favorites, but she confessed that she’s always carrying around the Small Cosmetic Pouchette or the Pencil Case because of how well it fits tiny, everyday items, which she notes also fits perfectly inside the brand’s Large Deluxe bag or Flex Frame Makeup Clutch.
“I seriously mean it when I say all of them. When I travel, I take all 6 shapes. The pencil case is perfect for storing just my lip and eyeliners and smaller objects such as tweezers, etc. It also fits perfectly inside the Large Deluxe or Flex Frame Makeup Clutch,” she explains. “The Small Cosmetic Pouchette is my ideal plane bag because it fits 3oz bottles perfectly upright and opens wide so you can see everything. I love storing eye masks in here, headphones, eye cream and lip balm for the plane.”
