You've probably seen this lighted makeup mirror before, whether on your Instagram feed or IRL at department stores. It's popular among celebrities and makeup artists, and according to the brand, both Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez are fans.

The LED lights have five brightness levels and the mirror itself has a retractable stand and charges via USB. "The lights surround the mirror, which aid in lighting up all areas of your face, making it great for makeup application," our reviewer reveals. "Thanks to the different brightness levels, I would have no issue doing my hair or makeup in a darker room with this mirror."

The lighted makeup mirror also comes with a magnetic magnifying mirror in both 5x and 10x options to really get an up close and personal look at your face. "I'm able to see my pores very clearly, which is useful when blending in foundation or tweezing your brows," our reviewer notes.

The best part is, the magnetic phone clip, when attached to the mirror, provides picture-perfect lighting for selfies.

The Flymiro Tri-fold Lighted Vanity Makeup Mirror boasts three magnifications at four different angles. The true 1x mirror sits in the middle and on the left side while a split view 2x and 3x mirrors are on the right side. "The side mirrors magnify close up and provide different views of my face at once," our reviewer says. Plus, the mirror's body can be rotated 180-degrees to help you adjust your vantage point.

The mirror's three panels can be folded closed when not in use, making it ideal for smaller spaces. "I like the fact that the doors shut to avoid damaging or dirtying the glass when [the mirror] is not being used or is being moved to a different location," the reviewer says. She also noted that the mirror is lightweight but stays put when placed on a flat surface.

It's worth sharing that this mirror is available in six colors, such as gold, rose gold, pink, black, green, and white. The sleek, modern design pairs well with any vanity. "I love the design of this mirror — it's aesthetically pleasing and would look nice in any room," she adds.

The tablet-mirror hybrid takes getting ready to a different dimension. In addition to three digital magnifying options, the mirror helps you try on new makeup looks with an augmented reality feature and of

fers the ability to stream YouTube tutorials to follow along in real-time. The mirror also comes with a skincare analysis component that assesses your skin for wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, roughness and pores, and monitors the changes in your skin over time to help you stay on top of your skincare goals. Then, it recommends the best products for your skin, based on the assessment as well as environmental factors, like the weather conditions in your area.

The lighting comes in five different setting options modeled after real-life scenarios like Sunny Day, Bright Office and Party Room, so you can test out your look in any situation. "I like how you can make the light brighter or darker as well as warmer and cooler," our reviewer says. "The mirror would be bright enough for all settings without being too harsh."

Best of all, the mirror is adjustable. "It's versatile and easy to change the height" our reviewer shares. The mirror can be moved horizontally and vertically for visibility at every angle.

Something to note: Despite the high-tech features, our reviewer found the mirror a bit confusing at first. "I wish there were more detailed instructions," she notes. "I found some of the features unnecessary."

A mirror with an attached storage shelf may not have been top of mind, but our reviewers found this all-in-one product to be a great buy. The mirror's sleek base has five compartments to carry makeup, cosmetic tools, and jewelry, which our reviewer found helpful to keep everyday items at hand when getting ready.

The mirror is sturdy but still swivels with ease. "The mirror rotates 180-degrees and smoothly shifts from vertical to horizontal," our reviewer shares. The mirror itself is 1x, but it comes with a magnified 10x mirror that slides out of the side. "I do wish the slide-out mirror could come completely out so you can hold it and use it up close," she noted.

The lighting options are bright, cool-toned, and designed to mimic soft natural sunlight. Our reviewer also added that the brightest option offers the perfect amount of light, but she wishes that the light could be made warmer or cooler.

If you're looking for a lighted makeup mirror that you can quickly throw in your bag while on the go, then this compact pick might be exactly what you need. In addition to a distortion-free mirror and a 5x close-up mirror, this compact doubles as a power bank to charge your phone.

Our reviewer found the compact mirror small but mighty. "The light on this mirror is surprisingly strong for the small size," she says. "It's lightweight, but doesn't feel flimsy."

The one thing we wish we could change about this compact is the lighting features. It offers a neutral light that works well in dim settings, but the brightness can't be adjusted to suit brighter settings.
