Temptalia Asks You – Where do you apply your makeup?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Where do you apply your makeup? In a bedroom, at a vanity, at work?

.

I do mine in the second bathroom, which is devoted to storing makeup (and thus, isn’t to be used as a bathroom, ha!)!

bedroom when I kept all my staff.

My bedroom where all of my makeup is stored. I share my bathroom so there's definitely not enough room to store anything in there - I don't like the idea of storing makeup in there anyhow. Although I would like to do my makeup in the bathroom due to the better lighting.

I'm usually running around naked between bedroom, bathroom and living room/kitchen. Bedroom has most of my powder makeup and a vanity but is too hot and lighting is poor even after taking down all curtains. Bathroom has the best light but no counter space and it's very hot. Living room has the rest of my makeup, a decent light, A/C and lots of kitchen counter space to spread all my stuff. I haven't figured a way to sit down though. Standing in a lighted spot with a small mirror in one hand seems to speed up the whole process. Hubby loves watching that unless we are running late :)

Since I now get up really early and have to go to work when it's dark, I do my makeup in my bedroom with decent lighting. Even though the bathroom hs better lighting, I don't want to wake up my daughter and go back and forth to my bedroom where my m/u is stored anyway. I'll be looking around for a good storage system, though.

I have a vanity with a lighted mirror in my bedroom. Two carts, one on either side, hold all my makeup so its right there at my reach. Too much to move around!!

I store mine in a vanity/desk in my room. There is wayy too much movement anywhere else.

In my bedroom because I have huge mirrors on my closet.

Mainly in my bathroom. And sometimes in the dining room with a mirror.

at my desk with a small mirror so I can sit here at my comnp read through stuff and do my face in the morning..kinda like how most people eat breakfast and read the paper LOL. If nobody is home though I will take over the dining room table because, I can lay out all my make up and watch tv LOL

I have my nightstand set up as my makeup area with my vanity mirror and the makeup is stored next to it so I do it in my room.

I do both my hair and makeup at my computer desk in our home office. Not the best lighting, but I have the space to myself, without trying to fight over the bathroom. I just recently got a vanity for my bedroom, so I'm in the process of rearranging the furniture in there....I need better lighting and a magnifying mirror.....by Xmas maybe??

Bedroom leaning over a chest of drawers to look into my jewelry box mirror :P I have a cramp space, which sucks... one day I hope for a vanity, or at least a nice bathroom to do makeup in lol.

In my bedroom and if I'm running late for work I do it at my desk at work. I love my job. <3

I used to do my makeup standing in front of the bathroom vanity, but I got so fed up with the yellowish light and the humidity from the shower that I finally got myself a cute little vanity off of Craigslist. I put it in the bedroom at the foot of the bed and converted my small bookshelf to a makeup/jewelry/crafts shelf. It's really nice! I get enough natural light if it's sunny, but I'm not directly in the sun, so I can see what I'm doing. Unfortunately since my back's half to the window the lighting is horrible when it's overcast... so I am plotting some lighting options. I would love to put my vanity right next to the window, but that would take quite a lot of moving around of furniture to accommodate it.

I do half in my bathroom, half in my bedroom. Everything is stored on a dresser in my bedroom, but the lighting is harsher in the bathroom, so I usually go back and forth. When I'm all done, I do a walk-through of my entire apartment holding a mirror so that I can see how it looks in all lighting...haha...so weird, but I don't feel confidant unless I do it!

I apply my makeup in my bedroom, but i'm unique. I have a big bookcase beside my bedroom door, and a full length mirror on the back of my door, so I do it there. I've always done it here, and I'm not sure i could do it sitting down! I get pretty good lighting too.

Bathroom but most of the time my second bedroom...

I do mine in my bathroom. I have nice natural light bulbs in there, and nice counter space to spread all my stuff out.

Mostly in the vanity, but sometimes I apply some of my makeup in the bathroom, depends on if my hubby is using the vanity sink or bathroom sink.

Mostly I apply my makeup in my bedroom because I like the privacy, I don't like people looking at me, talking to me or asking me questions when I am doing my makeup. Sometimes, I would go into the bathroom or living room because it has better natural lighting, but only when I am home alone.

I apply my makeup in my bedroom while sitting on my bed and sometimes in the bathroom for more accuracy and when Im being rushed by my family lol=)xoxoxo

In my bedroom, infront of my dresser which has a HUGE mirror attached and I keep my little plastic drawers filled with my makeup collection. I wish I had a vanity and more room for storage, though.

since i live in NYC, my apt is small (decent though for manhattan standards) and i don't really have enough room in my bathroom. i have a big mirror in my bedroom where i do my makeup in the AM. it doesn't have the best lighting though. :( i've been thinking about getting a pretty lighted vanity mirror and just using my desk/makeup studio/makeup storage area and setting up shop there.

I have a spare bedroom that I converted into my "beauty" room..haha That's where I keep my makeup, hair products, and jewellery. It's my fav room! =)

in my bedroom. i have a window right there for natural sunlight, and 3 makeup storage units ontop of my dresser, with a makeup mirror on top of one of the units. perfect height!

In the bathroom. I store all my makeup in my bathroom drawers, there's also a big countertop where I can lay out all my items. :)

In a house with only one bathroom, I try not to jam it up by doing make-up LOL. I do mine in my sister's bedroom, at a desk where I store everything. I have to share the makeup station with my sister though, and while we are good about taking turns, it can cause an argument now and again.

I do it at my vanity, I get lots of natural sunlight that comes in. I used to do it in my master bath before I had a vanity though.

Unfortunately in a tiny bathroom of our tiny house. My fantasy is to have my hubby build me a vanity table and his fantasy is to have an actual garage with a workbench to fulfill my fantasy..haha

Bought a desk and use it as my vanity table. Its got drawers and shelves, really cool. I keep it in my bedroom.

In my second bathroom, I only use it for my makeup and hair care

In the locker room at the gym - but its a nice gym and there is a marble counter in front of a mirror, so its not bad!

I do my makeup in my bedroom at my vanity everything is stored in drawers ot in containers that sit ontop of my vanity/desk

either sitting on the edge of my bed or sitting on the floor beside where i keep all my makeup.

I do mine mostly in the bathroom...

My bedroom usually. I have an 8 ft by 6 ft window on one side of my room and a 2 by 6 ft window adjacent to it, so there's tons of natural lighting.

at the bathroom mirror. it has generally flattering light, but also a brighter light i can turn on as needed.

I have a makeup "desk" in one of my spare bedrooms. I have too much makeup for the bathroom!

I put mine on in a vanity in my room.

Lucky. Im trapped in the corner of my bedroom, in the dark!

I lugg my big art bin full of makeup to my bathroom to apply my makeup. I have been BEGGING my fiance for a nice vanity with good lighting so that I can do my makeup and hair NOT in the bathroom. One thing I notice out here is people doing their makeup on the subway in the mornings which drives me INSANE!!! LoL Not sure why but it just urks me.

I do my makeup in my bathroom but, I totally wish I had a vanity in my room to do so.

On my bed more times than not. lol

I do my makeup in the bedroom. That is where I store it and I don't feel taking what I need and moving to the bathroom!

In my room. It was suppost to be a bonus/rec room but I got my way and it's my room now. It's huge so half of it is a makeup/hair corner.

I put on my makeup in my bedroom. The positioning of my dressing table/mirror is perfect and the lighting is pretty good, so I can really perfect my look. :-)

I have always applied it sitting on the bed, but dreamed of having a vanity - as luck would have it we recently got a wall-mount TV and the small console table where our old TV resided is now re-purposed as a vanity with lighted mirror and lovely containers and a big drawer organized with dividers. I had a little upholstered stool that I need to recover and then it will be just right ;) Much more fun to apply make up there than sitting on the bed!

i do my makeup in my room by my desk/vanity i guess you could call it. i just got a simple student looking desk and turned it into the place where i like to put my makeup on. i also do my clients makeup there, too. ^_^

In my bathroom, but as it is so tiny, my storage chest of drawers is outside of it but just near the door, so I can pick anything I need quickly.
