Luxury Cosmetic Kiosk & Makeup Counter in Dubai
Kiosks are small, temporary booths established particularly by cosmetic and makeup brands in high-foot-traffic areas, such as airports, malls, and shopping centers. Kiosks are a way for brands to reach and connect with customers in a more simple, informal, and personal manner. Kiosks are more used for marketing purposes than sales, which is why kiosk design is a crucial factor to consider.
A luxury, high-end kiosk design does not only level up your brand but also becomes an appealing and credible distraction for customers. Before you open a cosmetic and makeup kiosk, it’s better to consider all elements of design, particularly for kiosks that fit your business in Dubai.

Luxury Cosmetic Kiosk Design
Typically, luxury cosmetic kiosks follow one design layout that works best for every brand. This includes:
- Elements: Display counters, storage cabinet, ceiling, metal support, and an isolation belt to add a touch of exclusivity.
- Color scheme: Usually black, golden, dark red, and maroon.
- Material: Glass display counter, showcase table, round table with comfortable chairs.
- Flooring: Mostly white and black
- Lighting: High-powered white light that displays colors properly and also highlights your kiosk.
Now that we have covered the basics of luxury kiosk design, let’s move on to exploring each element in a little detail.
Front Display Tables
Display tables in the front act as your point of sale and also to attract clients. If you have a big space, you can add multiple display tables and entrances in between for customers to enter your booth and explore further. Display tables in luxury kiosks are made of glass with elegant black or golden borders. You can change colors as per your brand identity but you may want to go with colors only that are perceived as luxury colors.
Besides colors, all sorts of decorations on the display tables should match the rest of the theme of the kiosk. You want display tables to attract customers but also ensure that they are in line with the rest of the kiosk. You can also use branded graphics and signage on the front of your display tables to promote a new product, a promotion, or an advertisement. Or, you can leave the whole display transparent and let your variety speak for itself.
Back Display Counter
Besides the display table at the front, the back area should also have display counters, especially if your kiosk is big and is in the center which can attract people from all sides. If the kiosk has the potential to actually attract people from all sides and you have enough manpower to spare for each counter, the back counters should also have display glass, preferably with LED counter lights. The lights emphasize high-value products and hot-selling items, which might be able to pull the customers inside the kiosks.
Brand Sign Stand
The brand sign stand is a crucial element in a kiosk design. If you are planning on large shop-style sign boards for your kiosk, you can skip the brand sign stand. However, if you are keeping it minimal, brand sign stands help attract customers in your direction. Even with large advertising on your kiosk, a brand sign stand placed a bit further from the kiosk can be used to navigate customers toward your kiosk. The isolation belt can complement the sign stand and add an added touch of luxury to your kiosk.
Luxurious Ambiance
The ambiance is formed collectively through each element in your kiosk. In design elements, you need to use clean, sophisticated shapes for signings, decor, product displays, shelves, etc. For counters, tables, and shelves where you are not using tempered glass, use high-quality rich wood, finished marble, or metal polished in brass, gold, or chrome. For furniture like chairs and sofas, use high-quality fabric for coverings and cushions with a priority on comfort.
The color pallet should revolve around rich, dark colors, such as black, golden, maroon, and navy blue. These colors set the mood of elegance for cosmetic and makeup brands. When accompanied by accent lighting, the colors become prominent and, consequently, highlight the product and emphasize its value. To amplify the ambiance of your kiosk, you can also add a variety of decors, such as small sculptures, vases, plants, and even LED screens with infographics.
Commitment to Sustainability
One of the most important aspects of designing a luxury cosmetic and makeup kiosk in Dubai, and what we believe firmly at Exotic, is sustainability. Sustainability should be at the forefront of your kiosk design model, and here’s how you can do that:
- Use eco-friendly building materials for construction and fixtures, such as recycled metal, eco-friendly composites, reclaimed wood, and other sustainably sourced materials.
- Use low-impact materials, including low-VOC paints and finishes to improve indoor air quality
- Use natural materials like bamboo, cork, and organic fabrics.
- Choose low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints and finishes to improve indoor air quality.
- Use natural materials like bamboo, cork, and organic fabrics.
- Promote energy efficiency with LED lightning with smart lighting control.
- For cleaning purposes, use green cleaning products.
- Invest in plants for better indoor air quality
- If possible, use recycled paper for printing brochures and business cards.
Naturally, it might not be possible for a brand to tick-mark each and every point, especially if you are investing in keeping your cosmetic and makeup business sustainable at its very core. However, it’s the effort that counts, and it’s the effort that we commit to.
