Makeup Table: the dream make-up station
The most anglophiles call it makeup table , vintage lovers call it dressing table , those that love the obsolete terms mention it as a dressing table . The fact is that when you become a maniac of makeup, a make-up station with flakes is an indispensable desire! When makeup at home is a lot and attention to technique becomes a priority, the makeup table becomes essential. In this post we will see how to create a perfect makeup table .
Before starting with the advice, know that we should consider three aspects:
mirrors and lighting
ergonomics of the station
possibility to organize their tricks in an orderly manner
Mirrors and lighting.
The mirror and its lighting are the key element of a good makeup table. In fact, it is necessary that the mirror is of a size at least equal to that of your face and that it is illuminated with lights that are able to recreate the natural light (no yellow lights to understand). When choosing a mirror it is essential to consider one aspect: its proximity to an electric outlet. If for technical reasons you can not equip yourself with a mirror to be attached to electricity, then you can opt for a battery- powered stand-alone mirror . The best in this sense are the LED mirrors . Who is trying to find his way in the world of cosmetic mirrorsstand alone will not be spoiled for choice (I suggest you take a look at the selection of mirrors on Livingo).
Ergonomics of the station.
The vast majority of makeup tables are equipped with a stool that allows you to sit comfortably in front of the mirror while you make up. If for reasons of space you should opt for a solution without a stool (for example, if you have opted for a console table), pay attention to the fact that the mirror is exactly placed at the same height of your face and not lower, in such a way that you do not have to make up your eyes.
Makeup organization
You can basically find yourself in two cases: the makeup table has drawers in which to store your makeup or makeup is placed on the shelf of the makeup station. If you are in the second situation, remember to find the right compromise between organization and aesthetics. Have a look at my old post where I explain how to organize makeup in a smart, creative and without spending follies. If, on the other hand, you have aesthetics as your first priority, then I recommend a plexiglass makeup container , which is currently one of the most fashionable choices for organizing your cosmetics.
