These Make-Up Mirrors With Lights Will Elevate Your Beauty Game
With winter evenings now creeping around the corner, the run-up to Christmas and New Year festivities are well underway. Running closely behind it? A demand for picture perfect make-up. One lesson we've picked up from the pros backstage, is that having good lighting is key to ensuring a clean finish.
Why You Should Get A Make-up Mirror With Lights?
In a dimly lit room, it's easy to think you've done a pretty good job, only to emerge into the unforgiving light of day (or, even worse, the fluorescent glow of overhead lighting) and realise that your foundation is patchier than a 4G connection on the tube. And don't even get us started on how our blusher ended up there...
Enter: the light-up makeup mirror. Forget versions of old, where subpar lights had a lifespan of approximately two minutes; now, a new generation of bright and sleek mirrors offer everything from built-in sensors to state-of-the-art lighting technology.
The right mirror can be the difference between mastering a perfect feline flick in seconds and cancelling a night out because you've got Failed Eyeliner Rage (our tip: place an adjustable round mirror on your desk and use your elbows for balance). Whether it's a generously-sized version for your dressing table or a portable one that can easily fold flat, there's a light up mirror out there fore every need.

The Best Light-up Mirrors To Invest In
Glow Mirror
The Beautifect mirror makes applying your make-up a breeze, and it looks good doing it with a sleek nude or gold base, crystal clear 10” mirror with a magnetic magnifying mirror on top, and precision control dial for adjustable LED lighting.
Large Makeup Mirror with Natural LED Lights
This sleek make-up mirror wins points for practicality as it not only features dimmable LED bulbs to mimic natural sunlight and two magnifying mirrors, but also has a little storage area in the base (which, might we add, is detachable for easy transport). Plus, it can work using either batteries or a USB cable charger. A winner all-round.
LED Light Travel Makeup Mirror
This is one of those unexpectedly brilliant buys that you'll find yourself relying on. The petite, bag-sized compact features a mirror surrounded by LEDs that mimic natural daylight, meaning you can touch-up your make-up in low lighting – think bars, dimly lit restaurants, and even the back of a cab.
Sensor Mirror
Not only does this mirror have a sensor built in which turns on when you're sitting in front of it, but you can wave goodbye to harsh fake lighting because Simplehuman uses 'tru lux' technology to imitate sunlight, allowing you to apply your make-up as easily and accurately as you would in natural light.

Led 15x Mini Mirror
