Organizing all those beauty products just got easier!

TBH, doing makeup while standing (!) at a bathroom counter (!!) under that harsh, fluorescent light (!!!) is certainly not the vibe. Wouldn't it be so much better to sit down and apply your products (without them falling into a sink) at a pretty makeup vanity in your room? But, if you’ve accumulated tons of lipsticks, mascaras, and eyeshadow palettes over the years, any ol’ table-and-chair situation is not going to suffice. No, you’re gonna need a vanity with lots of storage to hold all your precious beauty ~tings~.

So, we searched the internet far and wide to bring you the best makeup vanities with storage that’ll fit any decor aesthetic. Whether you’re a minimalist, an ultra-glam babe, or a mid-century enthusiast, there's something here that’ll definitely work for you and your space. Oh, and we even found vanities with fancy features like built-in adjustable lights, extra-large mirrors, hair dryer storage compartments, and so much more. So what are you waiting for? Check out a few of our favorites ASAP.

Below, find 15 super pretty makeup vanities with ample storage that will quite literally hold allllll the things.

This vanity has all the feels of old Hollywood glam. It has a massive 46-inch wide mirror with dimmable wrap-around lights and seven spacious drawers that can hold so much product. The pretty glass top adds an elegant touch.

THE REVIEWS: "It was easy to build. It's very sturdy and beautiful," one reviewer writes. "The lights have different types of settings to suit your liking. I highly recommend it!"

Think of this pick as the classically adorable makeup vanity you had as a kid—with a modern (and very convenient!) twist. The twist in question is an LED Light with a smart sensor switch, three color settings, and adjustable brightness levels. Sounds pretty nice, am I right? Additionally, this makeup vanity features two large drawers and six shelves for storage.

THE REVIEWS: "This was really easy to put together. In fact, my 14-year-old granddaughter wanted to help me and had it almost put together before I finished cleaning up from dinner. It's sturdy and doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart if you breathe on it," one reviewer writes. "The lights around the mirror make it easy to see what you're doing. It has enough storage to keep things organized and out of the way. I'm definitely happy with the decision I made to get this and I would feel comfortable recommending this to anyone."

Found: a S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G vanity with five (!!!) drawers and a sophisticated design. God, I love her.

MY REVIEW: It's rare to find a classic vanity made with recycled materials. And even though this makeup vanity is on the pricier side, it's sooo worth the money because the high-quality design will last ya forever. I also personally love its timeless look that'll match any aesthetic.

A desk and a vanity in one? Say less! With plenty of storage to trick people into thinking you're organized and a mirror big enough for outfit checks, it's a win-win situation.

THE REVIEWS: "Best modern vanity. Great looking and perfectly sized mirror and different size drawers. Doesn't take a lot space while having tons of storage. Only bad side is it really takes a hot minute to put together. Has tons of pieces to deal with.(Worth it tho) Highly recommend it especially if you are on a budget."

Six roomy compartments to hold all your makeup and skincare products?! A dream.

THE REVIEWS: "This is an excellent piece of furniture. It is very sturdy and has deep drawers to accommodate all of my makeup and toiletries," one reviewer writes. "It was easy to assemble. I would definitely purchase it again."

If you’re super organized, this makeup vanity will serve you well—and allow your skills to shine! It offers five different height storage shelves, two roomy drawers, and one three-drawer chest, so you can go off with drawer trays and makeup dividers (since you probably prefer to store most of your products out of sight, all nice n’ neat … instead of, ya know, spread out all over the counter like the rest of us lol).

THE REVIEWS: "The vanity came out really nice! So much drawer space. Not a lot of space on the vanity top," one reviewer writes. "Overall I'm very happy with it!

A floating vanity is an excellent option if you have limited space to work with. This one is outfitted with pretty gold fixtures and has six roomy compartments to store all your beauty essentials.

MY REVIEW: I seriously love a good multi-use product. This one is a seamless shelf that pulls out into a vanity, which is ideal for small spaces. I also love that it has a few ridges on the inside that can hold up your device, making it easy to follow along with beauty tutorials or FaceTime friends while getting ready.

UMM hi! This vanity set comes with a light-up mirror that actually dims when you tap the screen. I love living in the future, especially for under $300.

THE REVIEWS: "Totally worth the money! I’ve never found a vanity that comes with a light-up mirror and stool. This is by far a steal in my eyes," one reviewer writes. "There were minor imperfections like small chips in the paint on the legs but it's not noticeable to me, but others may be disappointed. It holds a lot as well for its size. The touch lighting is on point with three different settings, and when you hold the button it's dimmable! It's EASY to put together and took me a little under an hour. I absolutely love it and recommend it to anyone looking to up their beauty space."

If your aesthetic leans a little more traditional, this all-black beauty would look so good in your room. Plus, it comes with a tonnnn of drawers and a tri-folding mirror so you can see yourself from different angles.

THE REVIEWS: "I did a LOT of searching, on many popular sites, for the right vanity before ordering this one ... and I have to say, I made the right choice!! I love it!!" one reviewer writes. "I also wanted something with enough storage space to help me manage my beauty product addiction. This is perfect on all fronts!! It's even more beautiful in person, was super easy to put together, feels good and sturdy, and offers more than enough space and organization for everything. I am so happy I chose this one!"

PSA: This makeup vanity comes with a super chic upholstered stool!!!! Plus, it has a flip-top mirror, meaning you can definitely use it as a desk.

THE REVIEWS: "This vanity is gorgeous and such a cool desk if I want to close it and get to work!" one reviewer writes. "I love the organization it adds to my space and how it helps me free up space in the bathroom, so I don't hog the mirror for my beauty routine."

Not only does this beauty have a tri-fold mirror and drawer space, but it also has a brush holder and hair dryer slot hooked on the side.

MY REVIEW: As someone who is a makeup lover and hoarder, I need allllllll the storage space I can get (especially with the small NYC apartment I live in). So the fact that this compact vanity has a lil basket to hold my brushes and hair products is so clutch.

For all those who prefer doing makeup whilst standing up, I gotchu! This wood dresser with chic rattan drawers has so much storage space and is a great height for all your standing up while dolling up needs.

MY REVIEW: What I'm obsessed with about this gorgeous dresser is that it is SO multifunctional. You can store your makeup collection in it as well as some extra clothes that need a home or random miscellaneous things.

For those who love gold accents and all things glam, this one goes out to you.

MY REVIEW: With all the makeup that I have, sometimes I forget what I even own! I love that there's ample storage space on the table of this vanity so I can SEE what I need.

IKEA totally came through with this affordable, yet stylish option. It's a sleek design without skewing too modern—and that may very well be what your space needs.

THE REVIEWS: "I bought this for my teen daughter, and she loves it," writes one reviewer. "It holds a ton of her stuff on top and in the drawers. The mirror can be adjusted up or down if needed. It was easy to set up and looks so beautiful!!"

No fuss, no frills. If you want something that gets the job done (and doesn't look like an obvious vanity in your room), go for this bad boy.

THE REVIEWS: "I had to downsize my makeup vanity to save space and this is exactly what I needed," one reviewer writes. "It's small but still has enough storage. I don't have great lighting in the room it's in, so I got vanity lights to go around the mirror and it's perfect! It's much easier to assemble with help rather than on your own. It didn't take long at all!"

You may not like vanities with attached mirrors, and that's okay! Here's a sleek and simple mirror that you can hang over the vanity of your dreams.

THE REVIEWS: "My mirror is gorgeous!! I’m so happy to have it," writes one reviewer.

There are tonsssss of makeup vanities out there to choose from and if I were you, I would wanna make sure I've seen a good amount of them before picking The One. But if you're still trying to figure out what would make the perfect vanity for you, here are some specs you'd wanna know about before buying.

If you have a lot of crap, then you're probs going to need more than one or two drawers to hold everything. And, obvi, the roomier those drawers are, the better. It's the little things, people!

There are also some vanities that have built-in organizers on top of the actual table, and if you're down for all the storage space you can get, I'd look into finding one that has this specific feature. With it, you can have your daily makeup products and brushes at just an arm's length away.

Some people must have great lighting when doing their makeup (hi, it me). And if this is something that's really important to you, then you should shop for one that comes with lights attached to the mirror. You can even get one that's touch-screen activated. I mean, welcome to 2023, baby—am I right??
