The 7 Best Makeup Mirrors to Buy in 2019

The fact that this simplehuman Mini Sensor Mirror is well suited for travel is just an added bonus to an overall great product. With 10x magnification and a sensor that detects when you’re nearby and lights up for use, this mirror has everything you need. It’s fairly compact and can be broken down to an even smaller size to fit a carrying case, so you can take it with you on the go. Plus, the mirror’s battery will work cord-free for up to five days. The mirror’s LEDs simulate natural sunlight, not harsh fluorescents, so you can see exactly what your makeup looks like. Best of all, every product comes with a five-year warranty.  

Reviewers say the simplehuman product is big enough for your whole face, but compact enough to travel anywhere. They love the “tru-lux light” that gives you a natural reflection, no matter how dark the room. This is the most expensive mirror on our list—but it’s well worth the investment for a product you’ll use every day.  

The Absolutely Lush Natural Daylight Lighted Makeup Mirror is a great, affordable alternative. At 10.7", this mirror is big enough to view your whole face but won’t take up too much precious vanity space. It features a dimmable touchscreen LED face with 180° swivel rotation. The 10x magnification is standard and gives you enough clarity for even precise applications. The mirror is cordless and powered by ‘AA’ batteries, so you don’t need to fuss with cords.

For the price, the Absolutely Lush mirror has just enough bells and whistles for daily use, but nothing that gets in the way of your needs. The company also offers great customer service and a 100% money back guarantee if you’re not fully satisfied.

For many beauty pros, a trifold mirror is the way to go for daily makeup application. The BESTOPE Makeup Mirror is one of the best you can get and comes with a low price tag to boot. This mirror offers 10x, 5x and 3x magnification and has a bright LED light. The four panels allow you to see every angle you need to see, and the piece offers a 360-degree swivel. It measures 11.8” by 18.8” and is powered via USB or four ‘AA’ batteries.​

Shoppers agree that the BESTOPE mirror is a wonderful choice for anyone who wants a bright, clear mirror for daily makeup use. They love how large it is (at 18” tall, it’s one of the biggest tabletop mirrors we could find) and note that the swivel feature comes in handy, especially in tight bathrooms.

If you’ve ever tried to tweeze your eyebrows in a dark, badly lit bathroom, you’ll appreciate the Floxite Extra Strong Supervision Vanity Mirror. This brushed nickel mirror features 15x magnification, making it one of the strongest makeup mirrors we could find (and perfect for catching those tiny facial hairs). It’s dual-sided, and you can easily swap between standard and 15x. The mirror’s diameter is 7.75" and it doesn’t break down, so don’t expect to travel with this one too often.

Owners love how strong the Floxite mirror is, remarking that it’s made plucking a ​much easier task than ever before. The piece is heavy and will hold up to everyday use. Do note that this makeup mirror doesn’t feature a light, so it’s better if you’ve got well-lit space to spare.

Don’t have any extra room on your vanity? The Zadro Cordless LED Lighted Wall Mirror offers a perfect reflection without wasting precious space. One side features 10x magnification while the other allows you to see your normal reflection. It’s cordless and can be easily mounted on any wall in your bathroom or over a vanity. The LED light is soft enough not to cause eye strain but bright enough for your everyday makeup application. The entire product measures 8.75" x 2.5" x 12", and reviewers say it’s incredibly easy to install.

Zadro offers a 90-day manufacturer's warranty, so you’re protected against defects. The brushed nickel look and feels high-end, and is perfect for anyone who wants to create a spa-like feel in their bathroom.

If you find yourself in need of a makeup mirror more often when you’re on vacation, consider the Floxite Mirror Mate Lighted Adjustable Compact. This mirror is meant to go places, folding down into a purse-sized compact so you can take it with you wherever you go. With the Floxite you’ll get 15x magnification, so you can see every tiny detail, and a soft light for even the darkest spaces. It takes four ‘AAA’ batteries, and owners say it’s incredibly lightweight and durable.

This travel mirror offers one of the best magnification strengths on our list. Reviewers say they’ve dropped this mirror multiple times and it’s still stood the test of time.

If a standard 7” to 11” mirror isn’t large enough for you, check out the HomCom LED Mirror with Defogger. This 24” x 32” x 2” mirror offers a large, clear reflection and a bright LED light controlled by a touch button. This mirror can be mounted either vertically or horizontally and has an anti-fog heated pad so you don’t have to worry about smudges. It does need to be plugged in, but owners say it’s simple to mount anywhere you need it.

If you’re looking for a large makeup mirror that gives you a clear, bright reflection, the HomCom is a great choice. This mounted mirror is the largest one ​on our list and perfect for those hurried mornings.
