Not ready to really splurge on a makeup mirror? This round mirror by Simplehuman uses the same Trulux LED light system as the aforementioned mirror, which means that this six-and-a-half-inch version simulates natural light just as well. While it is cheaper, it doesn't feature side panels for allover angle coverage, which—not going to lie—is a great benefit to have.

Everyone from beauty pros to influencers are fans of this mirror. It’s super slim—skinnier than most laptops—so you can stash it in the narrowest places, from drawers to tote bags. Weighing in at just a pound and a half, it’s totally doable to carry it around.

The LED lights are incredibly bright and have five stages of dimming. The mirror’s surface is magnetic, which works with the mini lighted 3x magnifying mirror it comes with, as well as the phone clip for selfies.
