This is a bus equipped with space, mirrors and lighting for applying makeup (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sARw1VkGOPs). I imagine such a vehicle might be used for on-site shooting of CMs, movies, etc. I have tentatively translated this as "Bus equipped with make-up room," but I'm guessing there is a better way to express this.
Any suggestions sincerely appreciated!

Makeup Trailer
Makeup Trailer seems to be the most used term for this. I also saw "Green room bus", however, results were less consistent.

Production bus
I would do a gloss in this case.
A production bus, equipped with the space and equipment for applying makeup.
Beauty bus was also a name I saw when I looked it up, but is a little more colloquial.
