Let's figure out how to choose a makeup table and what points to pay special attention to.

Organizing a workspace is an important issue for every makeup artist. At the same time, the artist’s workplace should look beautiful and stylish (after all, a makeup artist is a representative of the beauty industry), and also be practical and comfortable for both the makeup artist and the client.

In the previous article, we found out how to choose a lighted makeup mirror . This same article will help solve the extremely important issue of workplace lighting, so we recommend that you take a closer look at it. Returning to the makeup table, let's discuss its main characteristics.

Material

The makeup artist's table must be stable and wear-resistant, so for beauty salons there are specially designed models with an all-welded metal frame. Such tables do not wobble, do not fall, and serve faithfully for a long time. Depending on your wishes, you can choose a table from any material, the main thing is that it meets all your needs. Typically, craftsmen choose furniture made from natural wood or practical MDF.

Tabletop

The height of the tabletop from the floor should be about 90-100 cm, that is, it should reach the makeup artist approximately to the hip. This height will allow you to comfortably work with cosmetics and tools that will be laid out on the makeup table.

Since cosmetics can contaminate the surface of the table, we recommend installing protective glass on the tabletop. It will help protect furniture from scratches and unsightly stains from beauty products.

Boxes

Several spacious drawers in a makeup table can greatly facilitate the work of a makeup artist, because in this case some of the cosmetics can be hidden and not get lost in the abundance of products on the countertop.

Please note that drawers and shelves must be spacious and high enough to accommodate certain products in an upright position.

Wheels

Some artists like to use dressing tables with wheels. They are convenient to move within a room or even an entire salon. In this case, the table should be equipped with a mirror, and the number of drawers will be significantly smaller. If the function of moving your workplace is important to you, you should certainly pay attention to tables with wheels. In other options, you can safely choose standard furniture.

Design

Today, a makeup artist or makeup artist has a huge selection of makeup tables in different styles from classic to fashionable Scandinavian or always current minimalism. It all depends on the style of the room in which you work, your tastes and the tastes of your clients.

We also remind you that you should definitely order a chair for your table. Makeup artists most often prefer high bar stools so as not to lean over the client and not block the light. Give preference to high-quality models with a soft seat and back for customer comfort, as well as the ability to adjust the height.
