Setting up a demonstration workstation for makeup is crucial for both educational environments and professional
makeup artists showcasing their work. A well-organized and efficient workstation not only ensures a smooth
makeup application process but also demonstrates professionalism.
Here’s a step-by-step procedure to set up a demonstration workstation for makeup:

1 Choose the Right Location
a Lighting:1 Natural light is best, but if not available, ensure ample, bright, and even lighting to accurately
see colors and effects on the skin.

b Space: Choose a spacious area that allows for easy movement around the workstation and has enough
room for all necessary tools and products.
2 Set Up the Workstation Table

a Clean Surface: Start with a clean, flat table surface. Use a clean, sanitized mat or paper covering for
hygiene.
b Organize Products: Arrange products in the order of use or categorize them (e.g., skincare, foundations,
eye makeup). This reduces time searching for products during the demonstration.
c Sanitation Station: Include a section for sanitation with hand sanitizer, brush cleaner, alcohol spray, and
disposables like cotton pads and spatulas.
3 Prepare Makeup Tools and Brushes
a Brushes and Tools: Display a complete set of clean, sanitized brushes and tools (e.g., tweezers, lash
curler) in an easily accessible holder or cup.
b Disposables: Have disposable applicators (e.g., mascara wands, sponge applicators) available to maintain
hygiene, especially when working with multiple people.

4 Incorporate Good Lighting and Mirrors
a Lighting Setup: If natural light isn’t sufficient, use daylight-balanced LED lamps placed to illuminate the
face evenly without casting shadows.
b Mirrors: Provide a large, clear mirror for the client or audience to see the application process. Consider
having a handheld mirror available for closer inspection.
5 Display and Arrange Products
a Visibility: Ensure all products are visible and easily reachable. This not only makes the demonstration
smoother but also allows the audience to note product names and shades.

b Hygiene: Use a palette and spatula for cream or liquid products to avoid direct contact with the product
containers.
6 Set Up a Comfortable Seating Arrangement
a Artist’s Chair: Use a chair that is comfortable and adjustable, allowing you to easily reach the client’s face
without straining.
b Client’s Chair: The client should be seated in a comfortable, height-adjustable chair without arms, so they
can move freely if needed.
7 Prepare a Demo Model (If Applicable)
a Prep the Model: Have your model’s face clean and prepped before the demonstration begins to save time
and focus on the makeup application.

b Consultation: If the demonstration involves a live model, briefly discuss their comfort and any skin
sensitivities or preferences before starting.
8 Tech and Audio Setup (For Larger Demonstrations)

a Microphone: Use a microphone if the demonstration is for a larger audience to ensure everyone can hear
the explanation clearly.
b Camera and Screen: For very large audiences or online demonstrations, set up a camera to capture
close-up views of the makeup application, displayed on a screen in real time.
