An easy way to elevate any beauty routine is with the best makeup mirror for your setup. Sure, you could keep using your bathroom's toothpaste-speckled mirror, your entryway's poorly-lit mirror, or your phone's camera. But there's a world of lighted makeup mirrors with all sorts of useful features that seamlessly transform any tabletop into a salon—making them an excellent and useful gift for any beauty lover or person looking to invest more time in their makeup application, styling, or skin care.

You might think any mirror suffices as a suitable vanity mirror, but these days you can find a glamorous lighted makeup mirror that fits your precise needs—whether you want a full-on Hollywood mirror lined in flashy lightbulbs, a more modest makeup mirror that's rectangular or round in design, or a portable compact makeup mirror. Maybe you’re on the hunt for a mirror that offers varying levels of magnification (from 1x magnification to 10x magnification) to help you tweeze pesky hairs or apply the perfect liquid eyeliner or mascara coat. Most makeup mirrors on the market are rechargeable, double-sided, trifold, and adjustable so you can see every angle. These mirrors are powered by LED lights (which don't burn out or grow too hot) and most offer a range of dimmable brightness levels as well as options for light settings (so that you can adjust your makeup routine for natural light, fluorescent light, or warmer date-night light). Hell, there are even smart beauty mirrors that include Bluetooth, skin analysis, social-media syncing, and USB ports for charging your phone.

Because there are so many great LED makeup mirrors on the market, we’ve broken down the best makeup mirrors for sale now. You’ll find best-selling brands such as Fancii, Riki Skinny, Conair, Glamcour, iHome, and Simplehuman. Here's to hoping you find the light of your life.

Cult favorite lighted makeup mirror brand Fancii makes this all-in-one trifold mirror that unfolds to give you various angles: 1x magnification, 5x magnification, and 7x magnification (all handy for tweezing and eyeliner application). The Zora has three dimmable light settings: natural daylight, neutral white, and soft white, and can be tilted 180 degrees forward and rotated 360 degrees clockwise—helpful whether you’re standing or sitting and need to catch a glimpse of your highlighter or bronzer. Nicely the Zora is cordless and lasts up to 13 hours on a single charge, plus it automatically shuts off after 30 minutes, and comes in rose gold, white, and black.

The Conair Reflections looks like a classically oval "Snow White" vanity mirror, but has the added twist of LED lighting, essentially making it a ring light that lasts forever. The simple beauty mirror is easily rotatable and double-sided, with 1x magnification and 7x magnification sides. The mirror doesn't have dimmable lighting, various light settings, or auto-shutoff, but at $40, it's a great fit for anyone on the hunt for a very minimal lighted mirror that doesn't scream, "I have a beauty TikTok."

This Ulta top-selling makeup mirror has all the glam of an old-school Hollywood dressing room mirror (but in a far more compact size for your vanity). The iHome Hollywood Pro lets you choose between four brightness settings, three dimmable light settings, and a removable 10x magnification mirror for close-ups. What makes the iHome really stand out are its techie features: a charging port for your phone, Bluetooth and Siri so you can play your favorite playlist while you paint your face, and even speakerphone so you can take calls.

Known for its streamlined stainless steel home appliances, Simplehuman brings the same elegance to its eight-inch lighted vanity mirror. The aluminum-coated Sensor Mirror has a powerful LED light system that simulates natural sunlight and candlelight, quickly dimming and brightening from 100 lux to 800 lux. The mirror offers 5x magnification, has rechargeable batteries (lasting up to five weeks on one change), tilts fully back, and is uniquely touchless, lighting up as your face approaches the mirror. Bonus: The mirror comes with a five-year warranty, in case you have any qualms.

HiMirror levels up the makeup mirror game with this smart makeup mirror, which combines reflectivity with an iPad. The Slide Smart Mirror (which you can flip from portrait to landscape, depending on how much visibility you need) has two strips of LED lights that lets you adjust color temperature and brightness. It also has more lighting settings than many makeup mirrors, offering five different lighting scenarios: sunset, sunny day, brightly lit indoors, mall and supermarket lighting, and moodier restaurant lighting. The smart mirror features product tracking, skin-care tracking which analyzes skin over time, and even lets you virtually try on makeup before you buy. Additionally, you can hook up your Spotify, Instagram, Google Duo, Facebook, and YouTube (making it easy to watch how-to beauty tutorials while you apply).

Selfie queens, this one's for you. The Riki Skinny Mirror (which was one of Oprah's Favorite Things) features a magnetic phone holder on the mirror itself, as well as a Bluetooth selfie function—ideal for anyone filming videos or trying to follow along with a tutorial. The Riki has five dimmable light settings, is rechargeable, and includes a magnetic 5x magnifying mirror. Plus, it's fully portable, and comes with a carry case.

With its four light settings, magnetic phone holder, small 10x magnification addition, and swivel design, the Conair Social Media Makeup Mirror is an excellent choice for people who like experimenting with makeup trends. "The phone holder and lighting options come in handy if you're posting makeup-look selfies for social media or trying to follow a tutorial," says one Ulta shopper. "I had a basic lighted mirror before this, and it feels like such a big upgrade." When not in use, the mirror folds up flat too.

If you’re short on tabletop space, Simplehuman makes its Sensor Mirror in a five-inch model too (which can be packed into an included carrying case). Its tru-lux light system simulates natural sunlight up to 550 lux, and the mirror (which offers 10x magnification) has two height options as well as a swivel. "Every aspect of this mirror is wonderful for someone who travels," writes one Target shopper. "I use it at home and love the size as well as its 10x magnification. The price is worth every penny, as the design is attractive no matter where you set it."

On the luxurious end of the makeup-mirror spectrum is the buzzy Glamcor Brilliant Mirror, a lovely, lengthy vanity mirror with lights to give you a starlet glow. The LED-lit mirror generates almost no heat (so you can use it for hours, no sweat), has independently controllable, dimmable lighting, and can be wall-mounted or free-standing. Nicely, the mirror includes two outlet plugs, so you can easily use your flatiron or charge your phone.

This Amazon bestseller is one of the best lighted makeup mirrors on the market, owing to its built-in 21 LED lights around the main mirror, dimmer touch switch, tri-fold design, and swivel abilities. Not to mention its affordable price tag. The side panels allow for up to 3x magnification (perhaps not as close as some would prefer, or precisely as close as others want to get). The Deweisn's mirror includes space to store makeup, tweezers, or jewelry. Notably the mirror is not rechargeable and requires four AAA batteries or use of a micro USB cable.

If you’re on the go, Deweisn also makes a travel lighted vanity mirror that Amazon shoppers love. "This mirror is a real life saver," says one reviewer. "I bought this for a business trip, as I was tired of standing and bending over the sink to apply makeup. Now I can just set it on the desk and sit. My boyfriend is happy, too, because I don't have to turn on the lights and wake him up when I do my makeup." The mirror lets you choose between three different dimmable types of lighting, is rechargeable, and easily packed into a backpack or suitcase.

Maybe you love your bathroom mirror (or maybe you’re tight on space). This useful Fancii mirror upgrades any standard bathroom mirror into a vanity mirror. The small mirror sticks via suction cup to a larger mirror, ceramic, marble, or porcelain, and offers 10x magnification and strong LED lighting—helpful if all you really need is the close-up for eyeliner application or tweezing.

Over 12,000 Amazon shoppers give the Easehold almost five stars. This trifold makeup mirror is similar to the Deweisn but offers greater magnification: 1x, 2x, 3x, and 10x (in a detachable compact form). The mirror rotates, swivels, has three light settings, and brightens up to 1,000 lux via touch.

Compact mirror meets lighted vanity mirror in this Fancii magnifying makeup mirror. The clever compact fits in the palm of your hand, simulates natural sunlight (for when you’re using it in a dark bathroom on a night out, say), and offers both 1x and 10x magnification.

No matter the angle you need for shaving, styling, or your beauty routine, it's easy to rotate this adjustable, hand-sized mirror, which has 10x magnification and locks via suction cup either to your mirror or any tabletop, wall, or window. The top-selling mirror requires three AAA batteries to run.

Jam out while on the run with the iHome Beauty Portable mirror, a six-inch by eight-inch mirror shaped like a tablet. The LED lighting dims via touch, has three brightness modes, and streams audio through Bluetooth (so you can either take a call or play music). The rechargeable batteries last up to 26 hours, the mirror includes an auto-shutoff timer, and it folds up when you’re ready to pack it up.

Bring light to your darkest room with the Amazon best-selling Funtouch mirror. If you’re looking for a larger mirror, this single 1x-magnification pane is almost 15 inches by nine inches. Press its sensor switch to access three light settings (white, yellow, white/yellow), and long press it to dim or brighten. It's simple to swivel the mirror to give you a landscape or portrait view, and a 10x-magnification mirror attaches via suction cup should you need to get nearer. The mirror has a little room for storage at its base and can be charged via micro USB cable or four AAA batteries.

Amazon shoppers love how bright this LED bulb-lined mirror grows, its large size (the frame is about 15 inches in width and 19 inches in height), rotating capabilities, and Hollywood style. "It has warm and cool tones, which you can adjust, and I love how bright it is without hurting my eyes—like that good celebrity lighting," says one pleased shopper.

This rechargeable, attractive Fancii mirror is a favorite of this commerce editor, who converted her tiny desk into a vanity: "The Vera, which is framed in sleek, subtle rose gold, rests neatly on top of my beauty box. It has dimmable light settings like date night (a warmer hue), and a more intense fluorescent light. My bedroom is quite dark, so the lighting is really helpful, especially if I’m touching up before leaving the house at night. The Vera comes with a small handheld mirror as well that gives me a very magnified view should I have hairs to pluck, and this mirror can attach to the larger size. If you’re looking to upgrade your beauty routine, I highly recommend this mirror."

If you appreciate the style of the Funtouch but are in the market for a smaller version, the Cosmirror closely mirrors it, with its included 10x-magnification mirror, dimmable light settings, detachable storage tray, and over 7,000 Amazon top reviews. It is, however, more petite, at around 11 inches by 7 inches (about the size of a sheet of printer paper).

Here's another compact mirror that's uniquely trifold. The LED-lit handheld mirror includes a foldable stand on its back so it's easy to set up anywhere, and its side panels offer double magnification, as well as a panoramic view.

The high-tech HiMirror Smart Mirror includes bells and whistles you haven't even dreamed of: a camera (with 64GB of memory for all the selfies you snap and allowance for up to four users’ presets), Bluetooth speaker and microphone, Amazon Alexa, skin-care tracking and analysis (including hydration and pigmentation analysis), YouTube video display, product tracking, virtual makeup try-on, and even product suggestions based on the weather. The 10-inch smart mirror has five different light options, adjustable brightness (as well as color temperature), and there's also a wireless charging pad (no cords or batteries here).

Here's another straightforward portable lighted makeup mirror. Jordan & Judy's touchscreen vanity mirror is touch-sensitive, dimmable, and easy to adjust. It folds down flat, is rechargeable, and can be slipped into a handbag on the go. One of Amazon's over 4,000 shoppers writes of their purchase: "I was in search for a LED mirror that wouldn't take much space, and luckily I found it! The pictures don't do any justice on how useful and stunning the mirror is. I use it on a daily basis and appreciate the fact that I don't have to use batteries; I can simply use a USB port to charge it. I’m very happy with my purchase and I will be purchasing more to give to family members."

Riki Loves Riki makes a non-traditional beauty mirror that cleverly looks just like a phone. The pocket-sized, shatterproof mirror has a built-in stand for propping it up on a surface, as well as a finger ring, so you can easily grip it. The Cutie also includes three brightness levels and is rechargeable (lasting four to six hours)—two rare features in such a compact mirror.

One last look: This is a lighted vanity mirror in the style of a shaving mirror. This wall-mounted mirror is dual-sided (with a 10x-magnification side), and is easily adjusted and pulled close to you so that you can see every nook and cranny. The mirror is lit by 54 LEDs, with white, warm, and cool light settings, and its wall-mounted design means you can neatly tuck it away when not in use.
