We’ve all had that one experience when you’ve glammed up for an event, putting on your full makeup in front of your regular vanity mirror and then finding out later that you actually look like a kid did your makeup. What a shame, right? But believe us, it’s not your makeup skills—it’s mainly your lighting’s fault that this happens…and you could easily prevent it from happening again.
Your makeup application’s friend is natural lighting. When you’re in a dim room, creating a naturally gorgeous makeup look can be quite difficult. But thank goodness for light-up mirrors! You’ve seen them in TV shows’ backstage, behind-the-scenes in fashion shows, and on celebrities’ glam rooms. But what if we tell you that you can have that celeb/model/professional makeup artist experience at the comfort of your own home? That would be awesome, right?
Say buh-bye to those clown-looking makeup mistakes and hello to the perfect makeup looks that will leave jaws dropping and hearts falling… for you. Do yourself a favor and take a pick from these Luxurious Light-Up Makeup Mirrors.

Another two-fold mirror in this list, this Lighted Makeup Mirror by Absolutely Lush is a sleek-looking mirror that will impress you. It was manufactured well, with an attachable base that you can use when setting the mirror up on a table, or opt not to add when you will transport the mirror with you. The light that outlines the central mirror adds an apt light that’s perfect for your glow up any time of the day.

If you want that old-school Hollywood vibe mixed with modern tech, ReignCharm’s vanity mirror is the way to go.
