Am I sitting on the bathroom counter? Yes. I mean, how else am I supposed to get a decent view while I do my makeup in the hotel? I’m kicking myself for forgetting to pack my portable makeup mirror with light. That’s how I found myself perched up here!
A portable makeup mirror with light is a handy, small mirror to bring anywhere you travel. It features a strong 10x zoom bubble to assist with makeup application and tweezing. Three different lighting levels offer just the right amount of light to see, whatever you’re doing.

Get the perfect vanity view for getting ready using a portable makeup mirror with light!
Look, it’s hard to find the perfect lighting and view to make everything look great. Thanks to this portable makeup mirror with light, though, getting ready on the go has never been easier.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a hotel room, car, train, or somewhere like that and needed to touch up my makeup. I mean seriously, have you ever fallen asleep against the window and woken up to a totally smudged face?
This handy portable mirror is the perfect solution. It folds flat for packing in a purse, backpack, tote bag, carry on – you name it. When you need it, just pull it out and get ready to look great!
The travel mirror has the two most important features covered – lighting and magnification. The entire perimeter of the mirror is an LED-lighted frame. A touch button on the bottom allows you to toggle between 3 different settings:
- Warm (3000-3500K)
- Neutral (4500-5000K)
- Daylight (6000-6500K)
Use the daylight setting when applying makeup to best mimic how your makeup will look when you step out into the natural light. The other two settings – well, I like those when I first wake up to gradually get myself used to bright lights. They’re great for tweezing tasks too!
Power the lights using an included USB cable, or just pop in 4 AA batteries for truly cordless on-the-go use.
When you are stationed in a hotel, a little kickstand lets you place the mirror on a table. It works both horizontally and vertically, and even rotates up to 360 degrees, all so you can find the perfect angle.
What magnification do I need for a makeup mirror?
For general work and an overall view, a 1x zoom is sufficient for a makeup mirror. For fine lines and close up detail, a 10x zoom is recommended.
The main body of this mirror is a 1x zoom, with a small, circular secondary mirror attached via suction cup. Pluck that little mirror off, and experience 10x zoom, the strongest magnification for a makeup mirror. Just don’t go too crazy with the actual plucking – I prefer to have some eyebrows at least.
