Rather than relying on batteries to simulate natural sunlight, the mirror operates by plugging into a power source, using secret base storage to conceal cords. It’s double-sided, with one side for everyday maintenance and another with 10X magnification to help zoom in on problem areas. A convenient storage tray can also keep products from rolling all over your counter.
Floxite Mirror Mate
Tiny but mighty, this lighted mirror is small enough to fit in your purse but boasts 15X magnification. The adjustable arm allows you to use it as a traditional vanity mirror, but it can also be tucked away to use as a compact mirror for touch-ups on the move.

A built-in USB port also means you can charge your phone while you get ready, so you can head out the door with a full phone battery. While the mirror might not offer intense magnification, it can be tilted to help you apply makeup at different angles.
“This was exactly what I was looking for and more!” one reviewer said. “The speaker is amazing, super clear and loud. The lights are perfect and super helpful when you don’t have enough light in the room.”

It’s functional but isn’t an eye sore, as it neatly folds flat for travel or storage. In addition to the adjustable lighting, the base can also be adjusted to work at 11 different angles, so you don’t have to crouch in order to make sure that you’re applying your mascara evenly.
“It’s perfect, the one I had that I used nearly every day for 50 years finally gave out and I thought I would never be able to replace it, but the Jerdon Trifold is everything my old one was and much more, much brighter, much clearer and much easier to use,” one five-star reviewer wrote.
Luna London Eclipse LED Lighted Makeup Mirror
This ultra-slim makeup mirror folds down into the size of a tablet, so you can take it with you for a touch-up or neatly store it in your bathroom to save counter space. (It even comes with its own drawstring bag!)

Though this mirror is also a bit of a splurge, it’s earned glowing reviews from several shoppers on the brand’s website. The cordless gadget operates on rechargeable batteries that last up to 10 hours. Alone, the sleek mirror boasts 1X magnification, but you can purchase the 10X magnification attachment to hone in on minor details.
