There’s nothing worse than trying to put on makeup in low lighting (we somehow manage to poke ourselves in the eye EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!). If you’re an aspiring makeup artist or on the path to influencer fame, investing in a makeup mirror with lights is a sure fire way to level up and make sure your looks are always fire.
Finding the right makeup mirror with lights doesn’t have to be stressful, but it helps to know a thing or two about all the different styles and options. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer and how you can add this all important tool to your kit and wow your clients and followers.
What is a makeup vanity mirror and why you need one
As the name suggests, vanity mirrors are ideal for when you’re applying makeup. They offer a well-lit and clear view so you can see, from every angle, what you’re doing and how it looks. As an added bonus, a makeup vanity mirror with lights can complement your bathroom or makeup station, making it look more professional and totes glam.
Different types of vanity mirrors
A mirror isn’t just a mirror, especially when it comes to makeup and styling. There are different types of vanity mirrors and each are suited to different tasks, from your casual morning makeup routine right through to beauty treatments, like eyebrow shaping and tweezing.
Hollywood Mirrors
Definitely one of the more popular styles, the Hollywood vanity mirror is as glam as they come! This vintage-inspired beauty mirror with lights is a must-have for your bathroom or makeup station.

LED vanity mirrors
A makeup mirror with LED lights gives off an even, luminous light which can turn your morning makeup routine into a luxurious affair. When you’ve got a slightly smaller space or need to be a little more portable, the Wanderluxe mirror has the goods. It’s lightweight with adjustable brightness, plus it can be tilted to 25 degrees, giving you all the fab angles to work with.

Tri-fold mirror
If you’re on the road a lot, then it might not make sense to invest in a beauty mirror with lights that’s bigger than your baggage. An alternative to consider is a tri-fold mirror. As lighting can be unpredictable when you’re away from home, having a vanity mirror that packs down easily and fits in your carry-on is a must.
Our top pick? The Wanderlight mirror. It’s tri-fold design makes it easy to pack down, but don’t let it’s small size mislead you. The energy efficient LED bulbs will blow you away with their power and because this vanity mirror is battery powered, you could be on a beach in Mexico and still totally slaying the killer looks.
Features to consider
No matter what makeup mirror with lights you choose, there are a few features to keep in mind that will make your life that much easier when it comes to getting your glam on.
- Adjustable brightness: The ability to control the amount of light you need is key. Check that the mirror has a few different settings for brightness as you never know what lighting situations you may face.
- Bluetooth sound: Turn your next glow up into a party with your tunes cranking right from your vanity mirror! This is especially beneficial if you’re on set or working with clients – they’ll appreciate the bangers while spending time in your chair.
- Portability: For all you influencers out there, portability is a game changer when it comes to finding the right vanity mirror. Another feature to keep an eye out for is a mirror with a USB port – this likely means it’s USB chargeable or that you can even charge your phone (handy when you’re out and about taking snaps).
