The short answer: the right size makeup bag depends on where it will spend most of its life. Choose the HOMEE ($199), our award winning medium beauty case, for an everyday makeup and skincare routine. Choose the BIGEE ($249), our award winning large travel beauty case, if you carry a full kit with palettes, brushes and skincare, or you travel often. Choose a MINEE ($79 to $129), a soft makeup pouch, if you want something lighter that sits inside a handbag or tote.

If you're still not sure, read on. We'll go through what fits in each one, and who it suits.

Makeup bag sizes at a glance

The HOMEE: an everyday medium beauty case

The HOMEE is our medium beauty case and our best seller. It won Best Luxury Beauty Case in the Tools category of the Prevention Australia Beauty Awards 2026.

It opens completely flat, so everything is in view the moment you unzip it. Elastic holders keep products upright, and there are two zip pockets and two slip pockets for the small things that usually end up at the bottom of a bag. The quilting cushions palettes and compacts, the lining wipes clean, and a sleeve on the back slips over your suitcase handle when you travel.

Choose the HOMEE if:

• you want your daily makeup and skincare in one place on the vanity
• you take a streamlined routine away for weekends and short trips
• you're replacing two or three smaller pouches with one case

The BIGEE: a large travel beauty case for your full kit

The BIGEE won Best Makeup Bag at The Beauty Shortlist Awards 2026, the independent UK awards judged by expert panels in the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia.

It has the same footprint as the HOMEE but is 5 cm deeper, at 27 × 18 × 13 cm. That extra depth is the difference between your everyday routine and everything you own.

It opens flat like the HOMEE and is padded to protect palettes, brushes and tools. Like the HOMEE, it has a sleeve on the back that slips over your suitcase handle, so it travels with you through the airport rather than taking up space in your case. See more on our travel page.

Choose the BIGEE if:

• you have a full collection of palettes, brushes and skincare
• you travel often, or for longer than a weekend
• you want one case for both your makeup and your skincare

The MINEE: a soft makeup pouch for your handbag

The MINEE is a different kind of bag. Where the HOMEE and BIGEE are cases that open out flat, the MINEE is a lighter quilted pouch that sits comfortably in a handbag, tote or carry on.

Every MINEE has four internal mesh pockets and sides that fold down when it's open, so you can still see everything at once.

• MINEE Small ($79): your touch up kit. Lipsticks, a compact, mascara, a few brushes. It comes with a detachable gold chain, so it doubles as an evening clutch.
• MINEE Medium ($99): a flat base, so skincare bottles and compacts stand upright. A good everyday makeup bag if you prefer something smaller.
• MINEE Large ($129): big enough for hair straighteners and a full size hairspray. Ideal for hair tools, or for your whole routine on a weekend away.

Can I use them together?

Yes. A few pairings that work well:

• HOMEE + BIGEE: the HOMEE stays on the vanity for every day, and the BIGEE is packed and ready for travel. Available as a set for $448.
• HOMEE + MINEE Small: the HOMEE at home, and the MINEE in your handbag for touch ups.
• MINEE Small + Medium: a matching pair for everyday and travel, from $178.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a medium and a large beauty case?

Depth. Our HOMEE (medium) and BIGEE (large) are both 27 cm wide and 13 cm high, but the BIGEE is 18 cm deep and the HOMEE is 13 cm. The BIGEE is also padded. Both open flat and both have a luggage sleeve.

What's the best makeup bag for travel?

The BIGEE, if you're taking your full routine. For shorter trips or a lighter routine, the HOMEE is enough. Both have a luggage sleeve that slips over your suitcase handle.

Have Estetika makeup bags won any awards?

Yes. The HOMEE won Best Luxury Beauty Case at the Prevention Australia Beauty Awards 2026, and the BIGEE won Best Makeup Bag at The Beauty Shortlist Awards 2026 in the UK.

Will my eyeshadow palettes fit?

Yes. The HOMEE and BIGEE are 27 cm wide, and because they open flat, palettes lie flat and are easy to reach.

Which makeup bag makes the best gift?

The HOMEE, our best seller and an award winner. For a smaller gift, the MINEE Small at $79 comes with its gold chain, and you can add our magnetic gift box for $10.
