Purchase a small plastic toolbox that has a carrying handle and multiple compartments. These can be found at hardware and home improvement stores. Choose a toolbox that is sturdy but lightweight and provides easy access to its compartments.
Use spray paint to give your toolbox a new look and make it look less like a toolbox. You can choose any color. However, a dark and opaque color such as gray, blue or black will better conceal the original color of the box and also match most luggage colors. Let the toolbox dry thoroughly after painting before putting your items in it.
Wrap a ribbon around the carrying handle to give your makeup train case a decorative look. Arrange your makeup inside your new makeup train case, placing items in easily visible compartments. Include makeup, brushes, makeup remover and cotton pads for your convenience.
