Common closure types are zipper closures, open-top designs, and some items with no closure.

Options range from single-compartment bags to two-compartment designs. Some styles include multiple internal pockets (for example, up to three) and a PVC-lined pocket for brushes.

Care instructions vary by item: many recommend spot or wipe clean, some list hand wash, and at least one advises "Wash With Soap and Water." Clear/plastic constructions are generally easiest to wipe clean.

Some travel kits include refillable travel bottles, a refillable jar, a spray bottle, and a funnel to transfer liquids for travel.

Options include small vanity organizers with multiple compartments for brushes and accessories, and multi-piece clear drawer organizer sets with stackable trays for sorting brushes, cosmetics, and small items.
