If you're applying your makeup in a less-than-bright room, chances are you've ended up with smeared eyeliner and splotchy foundation. A good lighted mirror is a beauty essential so you can make sure your makeup looks flawless at every angle and in every type of light.
When shopping for a mirror, keep in mind the quality of the glass (so your face isn't distorted), the amount of light the bulbs emit, and how it will fit on your vanity. If you're unsure where to start, we've rounded up some of our favourite mirrors that will allow you to put on your makeup perfectly.
