What features to look for in a makeup mirror
It's generally best to do your makeup in daylight – who hasn't stepped out after doing their foundation in artificial light and had a nasty surprise passing a shop mirror? We've all been there.
But if you don't get a lot of natural light, or are often getting ready for the evening, there's a great selection of light-up mirrors that not only help you see clearly, but often also come with cool and warm settings so you can do your makeup to suit the lighting you'll be in.
If your eyesight isn't the best or you want to get every last hair when you're plucking, a magnifying mirror is a good option. After all, it's hard to perfectly apply even the best eyeliner with your glasses on.
And if you're on the go a lot, there are solutions to that too, with smart travel mirrors. There are also some vintage style hand-held mirrors, and stylish options for interior design fans that can be kept on display. These are our top picks.
