Desk Setup
These are the main pieces I used to construct my DIY vanity layout.
This simple desk has been the perfect base for my makeup desk. I use the center drawer to hold everyday tools like tweezers and lash curlers.
Ameriwood Home Parsons Desk
I bought two of these to live on either side of my makeup desk. They have so much space and I’m able to store all of my makeup, palettes, and spare makeup bags comfortably. Also easy to assemble!
Winsome Halifax 5-Drawer Wood Cabinet
I absolutely love this mirror!!! It can get very bright and it has convenient USB plugs on the side so you can charge your phone while you get ready. It’s so fun!
HOMPEN Hollywood Vanity Mirror
This chair makes me feel so fancy! It’s the perfect height for my desk and it doesn’t hurt my back while doing my makeup. It’s so pretty!!!
Velvet Tufted Accent Chair
In addition to the big mirror, you absolutely need a small mirror for up close detail work. I always use the zoomed in side for eyeliner and lashes.
DEIOVWXS Makeup Mirror
Decor & Organization
Because you need things to be extra cute and fancy, here’s what I used to elevate my DIY vanity experience.
I used as many of these as I can to sort each drawer by type, and it’s glorious. It’s allowed me to easily sort eyeshadows, lipsticks, and bigger face palettes with ease.
Vtopmart 44 PCS Clear Plastic Drawer Organizers
In addition to my light-up mirror, I also wanted a smaller light that provided a brighter, more concentrated light. I don’t use it everyday, but it’s helpful for when I really want to see up close.
LEPOWER Metal Desk Lamp
I used this to stick onto the desk to make it feel a bit more luxe. It was super easy and has lasted years. It is about two inches short width-wise, but it’s easy to add on.
Marble Peel and Stick Granite Wallpaper
I love to watch videos while I get ready so a phone stand is a must. And of course it’s pink, it matches the chair!
Bi-Fold Phone & Tablet Stand
I use this to hold my lotions and setting sprays, and I decorated it with some old heart crystals to make it feel more luxurious. It is a plastic material so it doesn’t look super fancy up close, but it still looks really nice!
Oval French Style Mirror Tray, 9.8x14.6 Silver
I have this under my desk so I can also use hair tools, gel nail tools, a different phone charger, etc. while getting ready.
Philips Surge Protector, 12 Outlet
