After years of doing my makeup standing up in a tiny shared bathroom, I finally have a getting ready space of my own! We just moved into our first house, and I decided to convert the spare bedroom into a 'Glam Room'! In the room, I painted the walls, DIYed the no-sew faux Roman Shades (there's real honeycomb blinds behind them), wired the lighting, and assembled the furniture (with a buddy)! This was quite undertaking, and more than a few late night tears were shed throughout the process, but I could not be more pleased with the way it turned out!
Getting ready to DIY a makeup space of your very own, or have you already created you ideal space? I love to see pics of what you've done!
Product List:
It's these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTFVWZ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love that there are different light settings and they're dimmable.
The mirror is from lowes its 24 by 30 and the bulbs are https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B012BKVK9G/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the light fixture is https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002OMGZLA/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and just in case anyone else is wondering the fake plant and stuff are from michaels, the brush holders are https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018A5KMUY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the makeup organizer is https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BCOFYF8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Gladly! I actually followed THIS YouTube DIY for the most part. I would watch it, as it gives you a pretty clear picture of what it all entails. BUT, keep in mind that this video leaves SOOOO much out and is not very accurate. I used the exact measurements that the video used, and made it work, but ran into several issues along the way. Below I will list the parts that I used, and the flaws in the video that required a different process.
EDIT: Please forgive me if this makes no sense. I am running on no sleep and tend to ramble when I'm tired. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Hey there! I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for but hopefully it'll help all the guys n gals looking to get their ladies the ultimate beauty station! As a professional makeup artist for MAC, Chanel and multiple other brands plus freelancing for years I have gotten many ideas over the years!
Be sure to get her plenty of storage if she has a lot of products and tools. Amazon/ Ebay also sell an electric brush cleaner now which is perfect for gals with a ton of brushes. My bro-in-law did the same project & I still have all the links. He installed lights (like these below) around my beauty-obsessed sister's makeup mirror & they're great. I also recommend a mirror that pulls out from the wall (like hotels have!) And a comfy & stylish chair is a must to make her feel like her fave beauty vlogger. Also, get crafty- you can always think of other ways to use these ideas for ex: instead of buying new, repurpose some cool vintage pieces!
Here are some useful, girl-dream links-

If you ever want to upgrade the lights, try the vanity light kits. I'll order some for mine soon. They seem to have pretty good light for makeup.

No, it’s just a plain oversized mirror that I’ve hung on the wall. The lights are two strings of stick on vanity lights I purchased through amazon here.
Add vanity lights and she'll love you forever if she doesn't already.

You might remember me from THIS POST a few days ago!
After months of stressing about the clutter in this room, I finally moved the large plastic tubs into storage, unpacked that huge brown box, and also emptied all my trash bags full of shoes and organized them into the closet.
What’s left to do:
The brown rattan chair and side table will also be moving out of this room once we get rid of some other furniture that a family member is going to take off our hands!
All-in-all, this was a one-day project that makes me feel soooo much better. I can’t tell you why I put it off for so long - but I’m glad I finally got around to at least doing the bare minimum to make this space more zen for me!
Let me know what you think and if you have any other suggestions! This has been a fun experience :)
I bought these off Amazon and they work just fine:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075XLRHNQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wyTuDbYKQWKSC
I bought mine from the company “JHS-TECH” on amazon but it appears that they no longer sell the string lights version I got (new second generation from company: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B078J4TWJW?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image&th=1). This one from Chende is identical to the set I got months ago: https://www.amazon.ca/Chende-Hollywood-Dimmable-10-kit/dp/B075XLRHNQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_10_sspa?crid=39UDJF22RNMDA&keywords=led+vanity+light&qid=1554606047&s=gateway&sprefix=led+vanity+&sr=8-10-spons&psc=1. You can also look up “LED vanity lights” for other options/price points.
Also they have these lights Incase that’s kind of what you were going for
Here ya go. Just buy additional sticky pads like Command strips because the ones they come with are crap.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073PX8QQY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526695376&sr=1-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=stick+on&dpPl=1&dpID=41E-KSKQ9UL&ref=plSrch
I have the same lighting issues in my apartment. I was thinking about getting these lights
LED Vanity Mirror Lights Kit - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DKWPXMD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UWVPDb4YXQFPX
I know it's not necessarily the 100% prefect solution to our daylight issue but at least it would some lighting
Sorry to interject but I have the same exact set up you do and bought some lights on Amazon that stick to the mirror that I absolutely love. They help with my crappy guest room lighting quite a bit!
This is my vanity immediately after setting up the lights (turned on): https://i.imgur.com/UpWhiw3.jpg
This is a better picture of the mirror (daylight, lights off): https://i.imgur.com/0MoqgKE.jpg
The lights have a touch-dimmer that I used a 3M strip to attach to the side of my mirror and I love it!!
These are the lights I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075XLRHNQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Hey guys! So I've been building my vanity for a few months and just needed some good lights. I had a lot of product and it was disorganised, and now everything is within reachable distance, thanks to your suggestions.
I wanted to share it since in case someone else needed inspo for a custom vanity that didn't cost an arm and a leg. It cost about $250 for everything, and I'll list the products, prices, and where I got them below:
Vanity: ($169.00)
https://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/10203610/
Mirror: ($19.99)
https://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/20320312/
Lights: ($22.99)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075XLRHNQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Acrylic Cosmetics Organiser: (about $40 for 2)
I could find the original, since I picked them up at TJ Maxx, but identical products can be found on Amazon
www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSLNQKX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cLtTBbN42P12C
EDIT: Thought I'd add some pros and cons as well. The downside of the vanity is, there are about 3 inches of drawer space that don't pull out, so I use them to store boxed lashes in the back, as well as my boxes of rings and chokers since I don't wear a lot of jewelry.
The Morphe palettes I have are large, so you can see I've placed them on top of the organiser, since I reach for them a lot.
The vanity also has a glass top, so it's good because it's easier to clean and you can slide photos under it of you want. It's also great because the wood doesn't get damaged from wear and tear or spills.
I also keep my brushes organised by face/eyes - they're just all dirty right now 😭
I also have a separate rack where I keep my serums and liquid foundations/primers since I like to keep them upright (it's just to the side so the area remains decluttered).
I created a wish list on Amazon and got them as a gift!
Here is a link to the bulb set: https://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Lights-Dimmable-Lighting-Dressing/dp/B077KXZCTJ/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?s=lamps-light&ie=UTF8&qid=1539320239&sr=1-3-spons&keywords=vanity+mirror+lights&psc=1
The come with adhesives on the back of each bulb so you can put them around any mirror, really, and there are backup adhesive pads in case any wear out. They're affordable and I think should suit most needs!
The bulbs also don't leave adhesive marks on the mirror frame, which is nice because I might repurpose the mirror in another room when I move in a year or so.
I bought this recently: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073PDN2VJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You have to charge it pretty often for it to stay bright (I'd say every couple of days), but it's simple to set up and I like it. One light is enough for me to be able to see my face in more detail when doing everyday makeup and working on my eyebrows, but I'd recommend getting two so the light is more even and overall brighter. The LED bulb temperature is similar to daylight, maybe a little cooler (and warm tones/redness are less visible in this light), but I'm also used to seeing my face in warm light from the bathroom lights.
That is so sweet!
I’m personally searching for something similar. If you go on Amazon or AliExpress and search for Vanity Lights you’ll see a string of big light bulbs that can be placed around a mirror (or anywhere else you’d prefer).
Similar to this.
It might also be helpful to look at reviews and ratings as I’ve seen some bad ones.
Good luck!
Check these out. Hollywood lights that would stick on and are dimmable. $22

I love [this idea/tutorial] (http://youtu.be/0SsogyiQeQ8) because you get great lighting and you can adjust the lighting! And the supplies needed are very cheap on Amazon! For example [these lights] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002OMGZLA/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_10?colid=J5PVOR3PNZRL&coliid=I1MLQBH1IYFO6D&vs=1) and [here are the cords] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LMN2WDW/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_1?colid=J5PVOR3PNZRL&coliid=I1IAGVXDRWPADR) and you can even customize the details! . Thanks for hosting!
I have the lights that JBMakeup suggested from Amazon and they are really nice and easy to install. Only cost about $20 and you can remove them if you ever change your mind!

Just using what I brought with me over the years of moving and finally buying our house.
Desk/vanity
3 tier shelf thing it's actually a plant stand but now all my plants are in a happy spot
Mirror was left behind from the previous owners
Lights
The acrylic holders were from tjmaxx
Edit- fixed link
I bought these and love them.
Thank you so much!! I bought the lights from Amazon as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077KXZCTJ/ref=psdcmw_3736731_t2_B07952T5PY
I've seen others placing them on Ikea vanities and it looked great!
I actually put it together with random stuff! Breakdown, with links:
Drawers: IKEA, $40/each (I already owned these which helped!)
Table top: IKEA, $9
Mirror: Lowes, $28
Lights: Amazon, $30
The lights are my favorite, they are so cheap for how crazy bright they are, and they dim. They stick on and the wires wrap around the base of each light so you can choose how far apart they are.
I purchased some from Amazon a year ago and they're still working great! No issues at all and super simple to apply. They have peel and stick adhesive on the back of each one and a dimmer switch as well. Here's a link for them as well as a pic of my daughter's finished vanity. HTH!
Amazon lights
Finished product
Here!
I suspect they used something like these (the 4 lights in the middle/top look slightly off from the sides) https://www.amazon.com/Nuvo-193-Vanity-Polished-24-Inch/dp/B002OMGZLA so you could probably cut out an area for 4x4 boxes on each edge of the mirror and install standard 1 gang old work boxes along the bottom. Maybe you'd want to use armored cable between all those boxes, but it's going to get hefty and I doubt that's really code compliant to install on a table like that.
edit: A lot of customer photos on Amazon show those fixtures just having lamp cords run out the back. That's certainly a very DIY way to go... and then they cover it in black spray paint.
here you go!
Oh man! Nope, it’s super easy installation, on any mirror you’d like 😊 LED Vanity Mirror Lights Kit –... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DKWPXMD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share .... here you go! I got them on Amazon, enjoy❤️
Damn what a nice bathroom! I see what you mean now. I decided on an extendable light fixture. I already have cans somewhat close to the location of your light, a bit further away from the sink.
Edit: lol these are crap. One didn't turn on and the other has scratches visible only when the lights are on. AVOID. Wound up returning the cabinets for more traditional mirrors.
Actually, what I did is bought stick on vanity lights for the mirror in my bathroom. There’s no magnification, if that’s what you’re looking for here, but it absolutely fixed my light problem. I usually will just sit on the counter if I need to get really in there.
Here’s the kind I bought: https://www.amazon.com/Chende-Hollywood-Dimmable-Lighting-Dressing/dp/B075XLRHNQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=vanity+mirror+light+bulbs+stick+on&qid=1562183873&s=gateway&sr=8-3
The cord is kinda ugly, but the lights are bright enough that they light my entire bathroom! They really work!!!
Copied from reply above :
Hey, I got this from amazon bunny mirror
Looks like the seller I got it from is not selling it anymore. It worked fine for a bit but my room is too dark so the light wasn’t bright enough. It’ll work well in a bright room, where the LEDs don’t have to work as hard. I primarily use it as a night light since it has that feature. I got it cause it’s super cute and works amazing as a mirror ,but the LEDs are meh. It was around ~$10USD so I should’ve known better,haha.
What I would recommend are the bulbs . They’re super bright, they have three brightness settings and three modes: LED,daylight and what looks like a low light/night time mode. They’re pretty good for ~$20USD.
Edit: I did find another seller selling it for $20USD if you really like it.
Edit: u/bananabread8 shared the same listing below
here they are
you should get this, https://www.amazon.com/Nuvo-193-Vanity-Polished-24-Inch/dp/B002OMGZLA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1485272744&sr=8-3&keywords=vanity+lights I have it and it gives off amazing light and just hangs on the wall the way a picture frame does. You do have to buy a cord and bulbs separately.
You can just get a regular square mirror for like 20-30 and attach makeup lights from amazon. For some reason it isn’t letting me attach the link but here it is: Chende Hollywood Style LED Vanity Mirror Lights Kit with Dimmable Light Bulbs, Lighting Fixture Strip for Makeup Vanity Table Set in Dressing Room https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075XLRHNQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nfxPAb1E8G4WE
Aren't those these?
I use one of these above my vanity, along with a set of lamps. I love it! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MJYA8IY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478922201&sr=1-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Plug+in+light+bar
These lights!
They have an adhesive on the back that you just stick onto the mirror like a sticker. Then I taped all the wires back so they’re not as noticeable 😃
Just a vanity light. Here is the link
Awesome thoughtful boyfriend! It needs a mirror though. These lighted ones on amazon are amazing every now and then I see one for sale in the Facebook marketplace.

ayy lmao
I bought these lights to put on my vanity and they’re amazing! Super bright and mimics natural lighting really well! I also have a ring light mirror from Vanity Planet that has 3 different light settings which I like a lot, but I have to get up kinda close to it to be as bright as I want. It works well along with the Vanity lights though!
I just installed these around the mirror of my vanity and I feel like it's going to be a game changer!
