13 Best Lighted Makeup Mirrors That'll Hardcore Up Your Selfie Game

If you've already tried Googling "best lighted makeup mirror," you've probably quickly discovered that the internet has approximately one-billion options to choose from—most seemingly very questionable, and also oddly expensive? Yeah, I've been there, and the whole process can be incredibly overwhelming. But whether you need a light-up mirror to stare intensely at your blackheads (hey, hands off), or a magnifying mirror to do your eyebrows, or just a simple, sleek, all-in-one mirror to play around with some makeup trends, the process shouldn't make you want to scream.

So to make it easier, I went ahead and handpicked the 13 best lighted makeup mirrors—including one I legit use on the daily—for every single vibe/purpose you could want, below.

This light-up mirror actually has a suction-cup base and bendable stem, meaning you can stick it to your vanity (as pictured), or stick it to your mirror and bend it outwards, upwards, downwards, whatever. Press the button to turn the lights on or off, or long-press the button to dim them.

If you can't exactly afford to get a giant, three-panel mirror that surrounds your vanity in bright, movie-quality lights...then hey, same. But this LED mirror (with three light intensity options) is the next best option for your makeup needs. It folds up like a menu and has a tiny stand in the back to keep it upright, so you can store it flat or keep it on display, depending on your ~spatial~ situation.

Mmmkay, so this light-up compact mirror (with 1x and 7x magnifying) isn't exactly pocket-sized, but it's actually pretty thin with the lid shut, making it truly excellent for keeping in your purse/backpack/car/or makeup bag—basically, anywhere where light is guaranteed to suck for doing your makeup.

I actually have this little light-up vanity mirror on my desk right now, and I love it. It's cheap, it comes with a 10x magnifying mirror attachment, and the main mirror is large enough (and fully adjustable) that I can braid or style my long hair without needing to back up. The only con: The lights are pretty weak, so don't expect magical ring-light abilities with this one.
