Your #GRWM videos are about to level up.

A makeup vanity is more than just a place to stash your lipsticks and brushes — it's a whole vibe. It's where you sit down, take a breath, and focus on yourself for a minute (or, let's be real, 20).
When choosing the perfect vanity, look for one that fits your space, keeps your beauty essentials organized, and makes you feel like the main character. Bonus points if it has good lighting because nobody deserves to blend eyeshadow in the dark.
1. A vanity with a large mirror so you can get a good look at all your angles. There's a ton of storage, too: five drawers and two shelves, plus plenty of tabletop space. The 11 lightbulbs have five levels of brightness that you can adjust with the touch of a button.
2. A mid-century modern-esque wooden vanity with a flip top if you want something that doesn't look like a traditional vanity when not in use. The generously sized top means you can use it as a desk when you're not using it to paint your face.
3. A vanity with a detachable top so it can be a makeup station one minute and a WFH desk the next. The lighted mirror is touch controlled and has three levels of brightness. The tiny drawers up top are perfect for small items like hair ties and lipsticks, while the roomier big drawers can hold the bulk of your beauty products.
4. A very fancy (and transparent!) vanity that practically glows with personality: it comes equipped with 12 LED lights on the mirror and a glass top that reveals softly lit drawers — so you'll never lose a beauty product in the abyss again. It also has built-in outlets and USB ports.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this vanity table! It’s the perfect blend of style and functionality. The sleek design fits beautifully in my space, and the quality exceeded my expectations for the price. The drawers are spacious and glide smoothly, making it easy to organize all my beauty essentials. Assembly was straightforward, and the finished product feels sturdy and well-made. The mirror is clear, and the lighting adds a lovely touch for doing my makeup. I’ve been using it daily and couldn’t be happier with my purchase! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable yet chic vanity." —Daejah m.

5. A compact vanity with just the right amount of bells and whistles. There are two standard plug sockets and two USB ports, so all your irons and devices stay ready, and the rotatable LED mirror has three different light modes: warm yellow, natural light, and bright white. There's a good amount of storage, too. Two makeup trays, three open shelves, and two deep drawers.
Promising review: "This is a very sturdy product — it was well thought out for the design. I love the touch mirror for light options. I have been looking for one for months. This one is perfect, and I highly recommend it for an adult or teenager. It's going to last a lifetime! Easy to wipe down and clean. Bench is sturdy and perfect size. So glad I chose this one of the many choices." —Debbie L.
Get it from Amazon for $125.99+ (available in three color combinations and with or without a charging station).
6. And an even smaller vanity (it's only 24 inches wide!) if you're short on space but not on beauty products. Not only does it have shelves and a big drawer, but the stool doubles as extra storage.
Promising review: "I live in a studio, so I needed something compact, and this vanity is perfect! I love that the stool has storage; I plan to put my manicure kit in there for when it’s not in use. The vanity mirror is beautiful and very clear; it seems like it has more clarity than my bathroom mirror! It has three light settings, natural, warm, and cool. I will say the buttons for light aren’t as sensitive as I’d like them to be, but it’s not a problem. Overall, I highly recommend this for someone who has limited space and needs a place to do their hair and makeup. 10/10." —Mallory
Get it from Amazon for $138.88+ (available in five colors).
7. A corner vanity that'll turn your room's unused corner into your personal glam station. This one will maximize space while still offering all you need: a tri-fold LED mirror with adjustable lighting, open shelving for easy access, and a wireless charging station to keep your devices powered up.

8. An adjustable vanity if you're not quite sure how wide you want yours to be; the storage cabinet can be moved to the left for more space or to the right if you need it to be more snug. The LED mirror has three brightness levels and adjusts from warm to cool light.

10. A space-saving vanity that's tall and narrow — perfect for folks who don't have much space but need to store a lot of products. There's sooooo much hidden storage, including the stool that doubles as a drawer. The mirror folds up to reveal hidden storage, and there's even a charging station with two standard outlets, one USB port, and one type C port.
11. A rattan and cylindrical vanity with just the right amount of hidden storage for your beauty must-haves. When not in use, the mirror folds down, and the vanity converts to a small desk.
12. A showstopper vanity that's green with walnut wood detailing if your room is kinda meh and you want to add something that'll jazz it up. This piece is as visually appealing as it is practical: there are four spacious drawers for your various products and the circular tray moves to reveal hidden storage underneath. Oh, and the mirror lights up, too!

Ikea
Promising review: "I usually don’t buy things I have to put together myself. But! I absolutely loved this dressing table. The desk comes pre-built. You only have to add the legs and the mirror. It took me 35 minutes from start to finish. Bigger than I expected, which was great! The mirror is much bigger than it looks online. The drawer is a nice size and more than enough room on the table for all your 'stuff.' 10/10 for sure!!!" —Raven
