Makeup Table

From LoveToKnow Makeup

Depending on who you are, a makeup table may be an important piece of furniture or just another place to throw your dirty clothes. In reality, they are more than just vanities.

Function of a Makeup Table

Obviously, makeup tables are meant to be a catch-all area for the cosmetics required to make a woman beautiful. From lipstick to mascara, makeup tables are a great way to keep all of the little things that help you get through your day off of the floor and out of the bottom of your purse. Think of all those things that bother you the most floating around, like:

  • Hairpins
  • Lip gloss or lipstick
  • Brushes and combs
  • Tweezers and clippers
  • Nail polish, nail files, buffers, etc.

Makeup Tables vs. Vanity Tables

Makeup and vanity tables are similar, although they are not necessarily the same thing. They are just regular table surfaces designed to hold all the contents of an overflowing makeup bag. Vanity tables are equipped with mirrors and lights to accentuate the flaws and imperfections in the face, so they can be corrected. Many of the mirrors on vanity tables even reflect a magnified image to give you an even closer view.

Vanity Mirrors

To combine the benefits of makeup and vanity tables, consider purchasing one of the pre-lit, magnified vanity mirrors to accentuate your experience. This can combine function and space, as vanity tables tend to be a great deal larger than plain old makeup tables. Whether you are happy with your run-of-the-mill table or you are just not willing to give up the space in your room that so many vanity tables require, a vanity mirror can definitely help you get the most out of your makeup table--if you are willing to make the investment.


Where to Purchase

Vanity mirrors and makeup tables can all be purchased from your local department store. Depending on the quality of the mirror you are looking for, you may or may not want to shop for one on the web or in your beauty supply store. They come in all different shapes and sizes, with multiple lighting and magnification levels.

Depending on how intricately you do your makeup in the morning and for what reason, you might require different levels of magnification. Beauty queens probably need a much higher magnification than businesswomen.

Build Your Own

Many people choose to forego shopping for the traditional makeup table and choose to build their own or use something they already have available. Writing desks, small round tables, and even coffee tables are great options when it comes to making your own makeup table. DIY tables are more popular than ever before, and they don't involve much work. Just grab a mirror, a stylish tablecloth, and organize your cosmetics over the top and voila! You have constructed your own makeup table, for little to no money. Why spend all that extra money buying pre-constructed furniture when you probably already have whatever it takes to create your own right in your very own home.

Why Would You Want To?

Building your own makeup table using things you already have around the home is a great way to save money and save the space that the furniture you used might have otherwise taken up in the landfill. Not only are you helping save the environment and a whole lot of space and time by going the DIY route, consider the fact that you also are helping to save yourself valuable money that is much better spent on other things—-like new name brand cosmetics for your table, or a nifty new magnifying mirror to go on top.
