These are the best makeup mirrors for plucking and perfecting your liner (1)

Even with the best skincare and makeup, and your technique mastered, you can still go wrong without the right makeup mirror and lighting.

There are a whole host of options out there for would-be MUAs, including travel mirrors, magnifying mirrors and light-up mirrors. So, it's important to figure out what you need from yours, because once you have the perfect one, your routine will become a breeze.

These are our top picks at a glance, but keep scrolling to explore all their benefits.

What features to look for

It's generally best to do our makeup in daylight – who hasn't stepped out after doing their makeup in artificial light, and had a nasty surprise passing a shop mirror? We've all been there.

But if you don't get a lot of natural light, or are often getting ready for the evening, there's a great selection of light-up mirrors to not only help you see clearly, but many also come with cool and warm settings to help you see what your finished face will look like in daylight or at night.

If your eyesight isn't the best or you want to get every last hair when you're plucking, a magnifying mirror is a good option. After all, it's hard to perfectly apply eyeliner with your glasses on.

And if you're on the go a lot, there are solutions to that too, with smart travel mirrors without compromise. There are also some vintage style hand-held mirrors, and tasteful mirrors for interior design fans that can be kept on display.

These are our all-time dressing table favourites.

This stylish smart mirror has three settings that accurately replicate daylight, evening and bright sun, letting you check your makeup is up to scratch in the same light conditions you’ll be seen in.

It’s got the seal of approval from our beauty editor Lynne Hyland, who likes the chargeable, cord-free convenience, and the fact the brightness can be adjusted on each setting, turning even the darkest room into a perfectly lit make-up studio.

Extra points for the detachable magnifying mirror, which is particularly useful for fiddly tasks like applying false lashes. It is pricey but for beauty buffs, it's worth it.
