I stand at the bathroom sink and mirror. It takes me maybe 10 minutes to apply everything.

Standing only in front of a 10x mirror!

@monicakm You're not insignificant, Monicakm !  You're doing a great job going to your physical therapist and keeping yourself fit, strong and healthy.    I've learned in my sports background that there are some things others have in fitness or a taller height that I'd love to have for myself, but I work with what I have and try my best to honor what my body can do and realize what I can't do.  Running for instance- I'm great at fast and strong short sprints, but I'm bad at long distance running.  Broken nails are frustrating!  Also, on a side note I love your beauty product posts and you have a cute little dog!

For years and years I sat on a bench in front of my make-up mirror that sat on my dressing table, but when we bought this house and I had my own bathroom I started standing in front of that bathroom mirror. Now it isn't worth sitting...I don't wear that much makeup any longer. But this is similar to the table I used, I gifted it to our cousin for her grand daughter last summer.

Standing ...  magnifying mirror on the wall.  The make up and brushes I currently use in drawers in my vanity, stored in two lucite divided containers with handles,  which I lift out and put on the countertop.   My lip products are in the top drawer ...   applied at the end..

I do both.  Just need good light, a mirror, and a basket with what I am going to use.

My makeup cart lives in one of my bathroom closets when not in use.  I roll it next to my vanity chair when it's time to put on my face.

What brand tv do you have in your bathroom?  I've had two and both of them fizzled out in less than two months.  We didn't buy indoor/outdoor tvs and DH said it was probably the steam.  Is yours rated for outdoor use?   When we remodeled, I wanted one of the tvs that are installed behind the bathroom mirror.  DH made me figure out why I couldn't have one.  We'd seen several in Parade homes.  I finally gave up after a couple of days.  The wall my mirror/vanity is on is an outside wall.  The install needs an interior wall with something like a closet on the other side.

Well thank you.  I used to be athletic in school.  I was the one picked first for all sports EXCEPT basketball.  No one wanted me on their team for basketball.  I hated the sport and it hated me.  At 5' 3/4", it wasn't surprising.  If someone told me I had to sprint today, this is what the scenario would look like (before sprinting).

I stand at the bathroom sink because (1) I have a 20X magnifying mirror on a swing arm attached to the wall, and (2) I wash my hands and makeup brushes several times during the process.

Hi @monicakm  . Nope the TV isn't anything special. It's an LG about 18" flat screen. We've had the same one for many years and it does fine with steam, etc. It sits back in the corner against the wall facing the sinks and my tub. There's a cable box underneath that it sits on because I don't have the hang of streaming yet.

***I have many of your carts in my studio. I love them.
