Creating Your Ideal Makeup Room: Tips for a Perfect Getting Ready Area

Hi Bellas,

Transforming your space into the ultimate makeup room can enhance your beauty routine and allow your creativity to flourish. I've created many makeup spaces over the years, both in my personal home as well as my professional makeup studio so I've gathered my tips and tricks along the way. Whether you’re a makeup artist or simply passionate about beauty, here are essential tips to create an ideal getting ready area.

This Makeup Vanity is a great all in one solution - it has everything you need.  There's plenty of storage, built in mirror and lighting and tuck a way seating.  If you want to break it down piece by piece here are my recommendations in the post.

1. Smart Storage Solutions

Storage is crucial for maintaining an organized makeup area.

• Drawers and Sorters: Invest in units with lots of drawers to sort your makeup. Keep your most-used products at the top for easy access and store extras or out-of-season shades in the lower drawers, keeping them hidden and organized.

• Desktop Space: Make sure you have ample desktop space to lay out your daily-use items. A clear workspace encourages creativity and efficiency.  Choose a desktop material that is wipeable and easy to clean. Makeup can be messy, and having a surface that you can maintain effortlessly will save you time and hassle.  I always have Clorox Wipes on hand to clean up quick messes

I love these Makeup Drawers.  You can sort your items according to use - i.e. eyes, face, hair, etc.  And you can buy more than one and place them where they'll fit in your space.  

2. Comfortable Seating

Your comfort matters, especially during long makeup sessions.

• Chair Selection: Opt for a comfortable chair that suits your needs. An adjustable chair is ideal for makeup artists working on clients; alternatively, consider one with no arms if you prefer to sit cross-legged.

• Pro Tip: Spray Scotch Guard on fabric chairs to prevent makeup stains, ensuring your chair stays looking fresh and clean.

  

I like this Makeup Chair because it's adjustable - maybe you'll use it for clients, or you can adjust it according to your table height.  

4. Optimal Lighting

Lighting can make or break your makeup application.

• LED Lighting: Ensure you have good LED lighting that is both dimmable and temperature-changing. Tailoring the light to your working conditions can improve how you see colors and details in your makeup.

• Mirrors: Invest in a large, high-quality mirror for an overall viewpoint, complemented by a close-up mirror that features a magnifying side. This will help you perfect every detail.

I love this Old Hollywood Vanity Lighting   It's both aesthetic and practical at the same time.

Creating your ideal makeup room doesn’t have to be complicated. By focusing on smart storage, comfortable seating, and optimal lighting, you can cultivate a space that inspires your makeup creativity and enhances your application skills.  For more product recommendations, check out my Beauty Room ideas page on Wayfair   Happy Decorating!
