I will never understand how some ladies can get ready while standing up, but for those of us who like to have a readily available station with seating included and amazing organization with some added pizazz, this one is for you.
The DIY trend has taken the world by storm, so why not get crafty in the place where you make yourself up for a night out? Vanity stations are always in need of organization ideas for all the makeup products, hair styling tools, brushes or anything and everything you deem necessary.

All-Hail The Mason Jar
Scrolling Pinterest, arguably the best place to look for anything female related, it is impossible to miss all of the amazing projects you can start with just a mason jar. On a vanity, makeup brushes, cotton balls, and q-tips must all be easily accessible while getting dolled-up. There are so many ways to decorate them, but here’s a few of the best:
· Mod Podge and glitter
· Mod Podge and tissue paper
· Puffy Paint
· Rhinestones
· Colored sand in the bottom (to hold makeup brushes up)
· Fish bowl stones in the bottom (to hold makeup brushes up)
I personally went with the puffy paint method.

Decorate Your Mirror
“I was browsing at Target one day on the search for a new mirror, and I found that they have ridiculous prices for what they are. I mean it’s just a reflection maker,” said Kaiya Bahr, a junior at WSU.
A mirror is to a vanity as a centerpiece is to a dining room table; it claims all attention and it’s the first thing that you see. You may see a decorative mirror at a store for upwards of $40 and think to yourself, I could make that. And you’re right! One of the cutest ideas is to buy a simple square mirror with a thicker frame, paint it, and add your own spin to it by hot-gluing rhinestones, flowers or anything else you can get your hands on.

Re-Think In Drawer Makeup Organization
“I’m really sick of having to dig through this basket looking for my makeup,” said Holly Larson, a junior at WSU, “I can never find what I need so I’m always running late.”
One of the best things you can do to de-clutter your life and make it so much easier to find what you need while getting ready is organizing your beauty products. And get this: all you’ll need is a silverware drawer organizing tray. Each section can be used for different products, like brushes, mascara, eyeliner, or lipsticks. This simple idea has completely transformed my makeup organization and an added bonus is the in-drawer part, giving your vanity a sleeker look.
