Lighted Makeup Mirrors

Lighted makeup mirrors are mirrors which use artificial light to give you the illusion of natural sunlight when you are applying makeup to your face.

Some lighted mirrors give you the choice of daylight and evening illumination. It is believed that this will give you the truest picture of how you will actually look outdoors or over a candlelit dinner table after your makeup has been applied.

There are several advantages to using lighted makeup mirrors: 

  • Clearly shows all natural features of your face. 
  • Shows the places you missed, when cleaning, moisturizing, or applying base, blush, or powder.
  • Reveals all blemishes, imperfections, rashes, and hairs that need removal. 
  • Nearly always comes with some degree of magnification to enlarge the view

You have a number of choices when choosing a lighted makeup mirror. The lights may surround the edge of the mirror (halo lighting), be located down the two sides or across the top and bottom (side-lighting), or have a central hidden source (spot-lighting). Most of them have a swivel hinge, with a standard mirror on one side and a magnified mirror on the other. The magnification is usually about 4X to 5X, but can be found in lower and higher degrees, all the way from 1X to 10X.

Once you have decided you can't tweeze another eyebrow without a lighted makeup mirror, there are a few considerations to think about: 

  • How much magnification will you need? Remember, you have to take your glasses off to apply makeup and tweeze! 
  • Where will you be using this mirror? If you sit at a dressing table, how tall does this mirror have to be to comfortably position you? 
  • Do you intend to travel with it? 
  • Do you have a place to plug it in where you intend to use it? 
  • How much are you willing to spend?

If you are accustomed to standing up when you apply makeup, you will want a wall-mounted mirror. You can get one that can be pulled and turned from standard to magnifying, and with both sides lighted. You can even get one that is fogless, for use in the shower. Some of those even have clocks, radios, and of course, are waterproof. They use batteries and have suction cups for mounting. And, believe it or not, I actually know someone who both tweezes and applies makeup in the shower! She swears the hairs pull out more painlessly, and that makeup never cakes in a cool mist!

If you apply makeup on the fly, or have to travel a lot, the portable travel mirrors are the answer for you.

They are smaller; battery operated, and easily fold up for storage in a purse or overnight bag. Some of them turn the lights off automatically when you close them

For your standard vanity lighted makeup mirrors, you have plenty of styles, shapes, sizes, and finishes to pick from. They may be square, rectangular, round or oval. Choose one that fits the décor of the room you will be using it in, especially if it will be on display at all times. Plastic frames come in all colors, and you can also choose the metals that range from period golds and brass all the way to the modern nickel and chrome.
