Are backlit mirrors good for makeup? <\/span>Yes, mirrors with backlighting are ideal for applying makeup. Backlit mirrors illuminate the face fully and evenly, allowing you to see each part of your face. They are a good source of front lighting, which is something you need when putting on makeup. Makeup mirrors with backlighting emit a soft glow that doesn\u2019t cast shadows on your face, making it easier for you to apply makeup properly.<\/b><\/p>\n

What Makes Backlit Mirrors Good for Makeup?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Backlit mirrors are good for makeup for several reasons, but in general, it\u2019s all about the effect of the lighting behind the mirror.<\/b> Backlit mirrors give off a soft light that does not cause any dark shadows. This soft glow is safe for the eyes and makes looking into the mirror more comfortable. The lighting is also balanced, making it all the easier to apply makeup evenly as well.<\/b> Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons why backlit mirrors are good for makeup application.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soft Lighting With No Shadows<\/b><\/h3>\n

The illumination that comes from a backlit mirror is soft yet bright enough for makeup application. The lighting is not too bright and not too dim. This means that the light will not create any harsh or unflattering shadows on your face.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comfortable and Safe for the Eyes<\/b><\/h3>\n

This just-right brightness from a backlit mirror also makes the process of makeup application more comfortable. This is because you don\u2019t need to squint or be blinded by the light shining in your face, especially when you move nearer to the mirror for a closer look. Backlighting is easy on the eyes, which means there is no risk of eye injury when you use a backlit mirror when putting on your makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Balanced Lighting<\/b><\/h3>\n

The glow from a backlit mirror comes from all around it\u2014from the top, sides, and bottom. When you stand in front of a backlit mirror, the light uniformly falls upon you, and you will see your well-lit reflection in the mirror. Because all of the parts of your face are<\/span> reflected clearly<\/span><\/a>, you will have an easier time putting on makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast, a regular mirror does not have its source of illumination and you have to rely on other light sources to see your face.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you stand in front of a regular mirror and there\u2019s a light just over your head, chances are parts of your face will be in shadow, like your eyes and your lips. This setup can make the process of putting on makeup difficult and time-consuming because your face is not fully illuminated. This is a problem you won\u2019t encounter in a backlit mirror.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do Backlit Mirrors Work?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Backlit mirrors work by giving off light from behind a mirror.<\/b> When a backlit mirror is turned on, the LED bulbs between the mirror and the wall light up, giving off a subtle light from behind the mirror. This illuminates the entire face with a clear and even light. <\/b>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how backlit mirrors work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Backlit mirrors are lit up with light-emitting diodes or LEDs. These LEDs emit light when an electrical current flows through them. In backlit mirrors, the LED lights are built into light strips, which are then mounted at the back of the mirror.  The strips of LED light run along the outline or the perimeter of the mirror. We have also written this article that discusses if<\/span> LED or fluorescent is better for makeup<\/span><\/a>. You can check out the article for more information about the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Backlit mirrors are mounted to a wall and connected to a power source, usually a wall socket. The on\/off switch for backlit mirrors may vary depending on the design. Some mirrors with backlighting have a switch that can be mounted to a wall. You turn on the mirror\u2019s light the same way you would turn on a bathroom light. Other backlit mirrors may have a touch sensor on the surface of the mirror that allows you to turn the light on or off.
