dressing table

Mirrored makeup furniture

A dressing table is a piece of bedroom furniture with a mirror and drawers, designed for applying makeup, styling hair, and storing cosmetics or toiletries.

Also called a vanity.

The term evokes a more old-fashioned or formal piece than a simple desk with a mirror: She sat at her dressing table, brushing her hair.
