IMO wall hung vanities are my faves they make it easier to clean and make spaces feel larger. I never like make up counters in bathrooms for 2 reasons , they are a dated look and the bathroom is the worst place to store make up. I find I put make up on in the vanity mirror and I just have a make up kit I store in my walk in closet . I do admit I do not use make up every day .As for the height of the vanity and make up area if you must IMO all the same height 36” and use a stool for makeup plus added good LED 4000K lighting in the whole bathroom. IMO kitchens and bathrooms should be lit like operating rooms since that really is what they are especially if you use the bathroom for make up.

For a vanity leg, I would go with what you love - not with what's trendy.

The classic bath vanity has a toe kick, not legs. Legs are a trend. They require extra effort to clean around. The make up area should be whatever height you find comfortable.

I am getting ready to update our master bathroom and I WILL be putting in a makeup area in the vanity. I always sit to do my makeup and have always wanted my own area (sorry hubby). Our space is 98" wide, so I will be doing the tall sink bases with drawers on each end, then a lower makeup area in the middle.

If you use the makeup area there is nothing wrong with keeping it the height you need.

Thanks to everyone's input. I feel comfortable with keeping my make-up vanity. Any pictures on up-to-date toe-kicks for a classic look? Thanks

You don't see the toe kick on a built in cabinet.
