  • Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

If you like to have a well-lit area to do your makeup, relying on a hotel vanity while you travel is a bit of a risk. Instead, we recommend bringing along a lightweight, packable lighted makeup mirror to ensure you have ample light to complete your makeup look to perfection.

A lighted makeup mirror can also help you see better if you have an extensive skin care routine. They may have a variety of features including warmer or colder light options, magnification settings, and more. Just make sure you pack a lighted makeup mirror that is durable for travel, meaning it folds into a sturdy shape that isn’t too heavy or bulky. Read on for our list of the best ones to shop right now.

Best Overall

Mocado led foldable travel makeup mirror.

It has six light settings and folds flat to the size of a photo frame.

It charges via USB, so make sure you bring a travel adapter for the outlet.

If you want a sturdy, easily packable lighted makeup mirror with all the bells and whistles, the Mocado LED Folded Travel Makeup Mirror has everything you could want. When opened, the 5 x 7-inch mirror sits upright on a tabletop so you can do your makeup without worrying about holding your mirror in one hand. When not in use, you can close the cover to protect the mirror glass, and stow it in the included travel case.

We love that there are 72 LED lights that function between six different settings, including three brightness levels and white, neutral, and warm light hues. If you like to get a closer look at your face when doing fine tasks such as tweezing your eyebrows or drawing a winged eyeliner, you can use the 10x magnifying attachment, which can be affixed to the top of the mirror or removed when not in use. It charges via USB port, so you can plug it into the same socket as your phone or you can give it a power boost through your computer.

The Details: 5.1 x 7.5 x 0.6 inches | 9.44 ounces | USB charged

Best Tabletop

Vanity planet handheld makeup mirror with lights.

It has multiple magnification options and dimmable bulbs.

It’s a bit heavier than the other options.

This tabletop mount folding makeup mirror uses 36 LED bulbs to give consistent and dimmable lighting while you apply your makeup or do your skincare routine. If you need to get a close-up look while you attend to tiny details, you can flip over the mirror and use either the 3x or 5x magnified mini mirrors included on the other side. It comes in pink or white colorways that fold up to protect the mirror glass in transport. 

The Details: 11.4 x 7.7 x 1.2 inches | 24 ounces | USB charged

Best Rechargeable

Fenty beauty led vanity mirror.

Fenty Beauty

It contains a wireless charging pad that can recharge your phone.

It packs as two separate pieces.

When traveling, outlets can be sparse, so we love that this tabletop LED vanity mirror includes a wireless charging pad that you can use to recharge your phone while you do your makeup. The mirror sits on an adjustable base which has a 360-degree swivel and tilt, so you can get the best view from any angle. It uses a touch sensor to adjust the brightness level, giving you the option to dim the LED bulbs. Plus, there’s a detachable 5x magnifying mirror to allow you to take a closer look when desired.

The Details: 14.4 x 8 x 6.25 inches (with base) | USB charged

Best Battery Operated

Conair reflections 12x led spot mirror.

The battery-powered magnifying mirror can be used on a tabletop or suctioned to a smooth, flat surface.

There’s only one magnification setting.

If you don’t want to run the risk of forgetting to charge your lighted makeup mirror ahead of your trip, you may find peace of mind in this battery-powered option which runs on three AAA batteries (not included). Great for precision work such as tweezing or applying false eyelashes, this 12x magnifying mirror lets you get a super close look at the area. We love that this mirror can be used handheld, on a tabletop (with the use of a kickstand), or you can suction it to a smooth, flat surface such as a bathroom mirror or a shower wall.

The Details: 4.4 x 4.4 x 1.8 inches | 3.84 ounces | Battery operated

Best Magnification

Sejoy travel makeup mirror.

Various magnification settings allow you to complete precision tasks or get a wider field of view.

It’s bulky.

This tri-fold lighted mirror has options for 1x, 3x, and 7x magnification, allowing you to see every detail for precision tasks or zoom out to admire the bigger picture. Sixty-four LED bulbs operate on three light modes (natural, warm, and cold) and can be dimmed or brightened. A convenient memory setting allows you to lock in your favorite light options for easier access. We especially love the kickstand, which allows you to set the mirror on a tabletop and adjust it to various tilt settings — or, it doubles as a hanging loop, which you can use to secure the mirror to a hook (such as a towel hook) and use it upright.

The Details: 6.3 x 5.6 x 0.7 inches | 9.6 ounces | USB charged

Best Hanging

Alovely travel magnifying mirror with light.

It offers full-size magnification.

Make sure to protect the handle with cushioning when you pack it.

If you prefer to do your makeup in the bathroom or while you stand, a hanging lighted makeup mirror may be more up your alley than a tabletop one. Conveniently, this mirror does both: its handle can be folded so it stands upright on a flat surface, or it can be hung on a wall hook. The double-sided mirror has 1x or 10x magnification options, and 64 LED bulbs provide ample lighting with cold, neutral, or warm tone settings. A single charge lasts up to 10 hours, so you won’t need to recharge it frequently at all.

The Details: 9.8 x 7.68 inches | 18.72 ounces | USB charged

Best Folding

Beautifive travel makeup mirror.

It’s very compact for when luggage real estate is tight.

The mirror isn’t as wide as many of the other options.

This is the most petite item on our list besides the pocket-sized compact, so it’s well-suited for traveling light on weekend trips or if you’re trying to conserve space in a smaller carry-on bag. It can be used while folded as a handheld mirror or expanded as an adjustable tabletop mirror that swivels 180 degrees.

The dual-sided mirror offers 1x and 8x magnification, plus there are three light intensities to choose from. Don’t stress if you forget to shut off your mirror — a 30-minute timed auto-off will do it for you. And if you happen to be out of the required four AAA batteries, you can opt to plug it into the wall, your laptop, or a power bank instead.

The Details: 6.3 x 2 inches (folded) or 6.3 x 13.7 (extended) | 17.6 ounces | Battery operated or charge with wall outlet

Best with Storage

Solacol multi functional led makeup mirror.

Keep your eye pencils, palettes, and more tucked away along with your lighted mirror.

There is only one light setting.

This chic zip case, which includes a lighted makeup mirror and storage for makeup, skincare, or jewelry essentials, provides a most convenient way to tote your lighted mirror and your makeup all in one. There are three colors to choose from (green, gray, and pink) in the leather case, which contains one large compartment (perfect for makeup palettes), one long compartment (for eyeliner or lip pencils), and two small compartments (which can be used for hair ties or small jewelry).

The Details: 4.5 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches

Best Compact

Kintion rechargeable pocket mirror.

The pocket-sized mirror comes in nine fun colors.

There isn’t as much surface area to view full makeup looks.

Small enough to fit inside the pocket of your jeans, this rechargeable lighted mirror is the most packable on our list, perfect for stashing in a purse or clutch. At just 2.26 ounces, it adds virtually no weight to your packing limit.

The foldable item contains two mirrors with 1x and 3x magnifications. It includes LED lights, on which the brightness can be adjusted or turned off completely, and you have the ability to toggle between warm, neutral, and cold light settings. You can pick from nine colors, making it a great gift for a travel-loving friend.

The Details: 3.3 x 2.5 inches | 2.26 ounces | USB charged

Best with Case

Merifun compact mirror with light.

Compact yet versatile, this mirror has six light options plus a memory setting.

There are no hanging or wall-mount features.

A carrying case can give your lighted makeup mirror added protection during transport. This pocket-sized pick folds up to defend the two mirrors (in 1x and 10x magnifications) from accidental nicks and scratches, and the soft carrying case adds further security. The LED bulbs operate between three color modes — warm, neutral, and cold — and they are dimmable by the touch of a button.

The Details: 4 x 4 inches | 5 ounces | USB charged

Tips for Buying Lighted Makeup Mirrors

Think about power source and battery life.

If you’re traveling with a lighted makeup mirror, you’ll want something reliable and easy to charge when you’re on the go. Consider a USB-charged product, which can be plugged into a wall outlet, a power bank, or your laptop for easy recharging. For shorter trips, a battery-operated product may be sufficient — just remember to insert new batteries prior to your trip so you don’t run out of juice.

Prioritize portability

Something you can toss in your purse or toiletry case is best for travel. A mirror that folds up to protect the glass will give you security that it won’t crack or scratch in transit. If your mirror comes with a protective carrying case, that’s a great option as well.

Consider size and weight limitations. Though a larger mirror provides a more spacious viewing field, it may infringe on luggage real estate or suitcase weight limits. Take into consideration the other items you’re packing when deciding how much leeway you can give your lighted makeup mirror.

If you’re planning on doing a full face of makeup, you’ll want a mirror with 1x magnification so you can see the finished product in a standard view. For precision tasks such as applying liquid eyeliner, adding false lashes, or tweezing your eyebrows, use a mirror with a higher magnification such as 5x or 10x. Many mirrors include both a standard magnification plus a larger magnification, which is the most versatile solution for travel.

Yes. There are no restrictions on lighted makeup mirrors for travel except any size and weight limitations for your carry-on or checked luggage.

Whether you travel for work or for leisure, you’ve likely faced the frustration of getting ready using a poor-quality hotel, train, or airplane mirror.

That’s why travel mirrors can make a huge difference. These mirrors are essential tools for some people to make sure they look their best while on the go.

Picking a travel mirror isn’t always as simple as just finding the first option you see and buying it. There are a lot of details that differentiate different mirrors on the market. Here are a few details you should consider.

Size and Weight

Travel mirror size and weight

The first thing you need to consider is the size and weight of a mirror. Since travel mirrors are meant to be portable, you don’t want to purchase one that’s cumbersome to carry. However, if you get a mirror that’s too small for your needs, it’ll essentially be useless.

If you just want to be able to check your reflection, a small mirror you can fit in your pocket will likely be fine. If you want to apply makeup or get a close look at your skin, look for a larger option.

Travel mirror material

Since you’ll be traveling with your mirror, you’ll want to make sure you pick one made from the right material.

If you purchase a fragile mirror, it’ll likely break at some point during a trip. Many mirrors are made out of plastic that won’t shatter or break easily.

Hot Tip: You might want to consider a mirror that has a leather case. That type of material can usually act as a shock absorber so your mirror won’t break if it’s jostled around in your bag or dropped.

Storage Design

You should also consider how you’ll be storing your mirror while you travel. Many options are foldable, so they become more compact when not in use. This helps save room in your luggage. It also makes them easy to just toss in your bag.

There are also options that come with a carrying case for added protection and organization. Other mirrors, instead, must be packed as-is. These mirrors are usually small and thin, but they can add some stress to packing if you worry about scratches or are trying to save room.

Magnification

Travel mirror magnification

You’ll also want to determine the amount of magnification you want in a travel mirror and if you want any magnification at all.

A magnified mirror will mostly help if you’re applying makeup or doing a skincare routine. So, depending on how close of a look you want of your skin will narrow down your options.

If you don’t want a magnified mirror, make sure you look closely at the descriptions of the options you’re considering. You can purchase a standard mirror or a dual-sided model that has a regular reflection side.

Other Features

You should also consider whether or not you want any other features in your travel mirror. The most common extra feature people look for in mirrors is lighting. A lighted mirror can drastically help if you intend to use your mirror to get ready.

Some travel mirrors come equipped with LED lights for this purpose. As opposed to “stationary” lighted mirrors, these options are usually battery-powered and cordless.

Dual mirrors are another common feature people look for. This usually gives travelers different reflection options to suit different mirror needs throughout a trip.

Hot Tip: Make sure to drop your mirror into one of our picks for the best toiletry bag , best makeup bag , or best Dopp kit !

There are thousands of portable mirrors out there, and any one of them could be the right option for you. However, hundreds of them might not be a good choice for your needs.

To help you figure out what mirror to get, we’ve looked at the best options available on the market and compiled this list.

1. A Close-up Mirror for On-the-Go

15x magnifying handheld mirror.

Being able to get ready on the go is the main driver behind this magnifying mirror. It has 2 sides, 1 with a regular reflection and 1 that offers 15x magnification for an up-close look. While the mirror is marketed as being handheld, you aren’t restricted to just that use.

If you need both hands free, you can fold the mirror’s handle to create a convenient stand that you can adjust to suit your needs. It can even be hung up and used as a small wall mirror.

When the handle is fully folded, the mirror only measures 12 centimeters across, which is nearly doubled when the handle is extended. It’s also lightweight, so it’s easy to carry in any bag.

What We Like:

  • Multiple setup options

What We Don’t Like:

  • Easily scratched

2. A Strong Mirror You Can Set Up Anywhere

Fancii 10x magnifying lighted makeup mirror.

When you’re traveling, you aren’t guaranteed an optimal place to set up and get ready every day. That’s why Fancii created this mirror to make sure you always look your best. This small mirror manages to create a near-professional setup even in less than ideal conditions.

It’s only 6.5 inches wide, so it doesn’t take up much room. However, it also has full lighting and offers 10x magnification to give you a clear look at your reflection.

The lights even offer a natural daylight look for optimal use. You can even adjust its angle or swivel the mirror to suit your needs. It can also suction to most flat surfaces, so you don’t have to worry about it getting knocked over.

  • Cordless and lit
  • Doesn’t have 1x magnification

3. Compact Folding Mirror for Any Trip

Deweisn folding travel mirror.

If you’re looking for the perfect mirror you can take with you on any trip, this option from Deweisn is worth considering.

Designed to be incredibly thin, you can fit it in most travel bags or duffles. In fact, when fully folded up for storage, it’s less than an inch thick. However, that thinness doesn’t come with other size trade-offs.

Measuring in at nearly 10 x 7.5 inches, it’s still large enough to give you a clear look at your reflection. The mirror is also fully-lit, so you can easily see your reflection under any conditions.

It offers crystal-clear 1x reflection without any distortions. That means you can cut down on headaches or dizziness and actually know what you look like.

  • 3 lighting options

4. The Perfect Pocket Mirror

Ytzj direct compact mirror.

If your main reason for getting a travel mirror is to be able to quickly check your reflection while out and about, this is the compact option for you.

Measuring 2.4 x 3.4 inches when folded, the mirror is about the size of a credit card and not much thicker, so you can easily fit it in your pocket or purse.

Though it’s small, you still get 2 mirrors. The first offers 1x magnification and the other 2x magnification for a slightly closer look. So, it’s perfect for making sure you’re looking your best.

Since it was designed to be tossed in a bag stress-free, it’s made of shatter-proof material. You don’t have to worry about finding mirror shards in your bag.

  • No lock closure

5. A Lighted Mirror You Can Carry

Fancii led lighted travel makeup mirror.

If you’re looking for a lighted mirror that’s still incredibly easy to carry, this option by Fancii is perfect. You can easily hold this mirror with one hand, making it more convenient on the go than many other models out there.

The entire mirror also weighs less than 7 ounces, so it’s easy to carry. However, it’s also larger than a standard compact mirror, so you can get a larger, clearer reflection.

It’s dual-sided and offers both 1x and 10x magnification. So whether you want to check you have nothing in your teeth or you are applying makeup, this is an optimal mirror for you. The 1x mirror is also fully-lit as well, making its clear reflection even clearer.

  • 24-month warranty
  • Unlit 10x magnification

6. Lighted Mirror That Won’t Die on You

Rechargeable travel makeup vanity mirror.

If you like the idea of a lighted travel mirror, but you don’t want to deal with having to remember to check and change batteries, this is a great alternative. This vanity mirror is completely rechargeable, so you never have to worry about it dying on you halfway through your trip.

You can easily dim the lights with its touch screen feature to create the right lighting for your needs. You can also adjust the lighting of your lights between white, cool, and warm. You have full control to get ready in whatever conditions are optimal for you.

You can also easily prop up the mirror thanks to its built-in stand, giving you both hands-free to get ready.

  • USB charged
  • On the larger side

7. A Mirror That Creates a Vanity Anywhere

10×7 inches portable folding makeup mirror.

You can easily create a vanity no matter where you are with this foldable travel mirror. Measuring 10 x 7 inches, this mirror option gives you a nice clear reflection without any of the fuss smaller mirrors can make.

The mirror itself has an HD quality reflection without any distortions or warping. It’s also got an adjustable stand you can angle however you need. When not in use, just fold the stand back over to create a convenient protective cover.

The case and frame are also covered in imitation leather which doesn’t just make the mirror sleek and stylish — it also offers extra protection to keep your mirror safe from shattering if dropped or bumped around.

  • Extra case protection
  • Only 1 mirror

8. A Compact Mirror You Can Adjust

Feruaro travel mirror.

This little travel mirror is perfect for people who want the control you get from adjustable mirrors but don’t want something big and bulky.

When folded up, this mirror measures 5 x 3.4 inches, so it’s definitely a compact option. However, it’s still the perfect size to see yourself, no matter if you need to get ready or just want to check your reflection.

The mirror comes with 8 LED lights that you can easily adjust in brightness. In addition, the lights are powered by long-lasting button batteries, which eliminates any cords that could get lost or tangled .

Unlike many other lighted travel mirrors, you also get both 1x and 2x magnification if you need a closer look.

  • Adjustable stand and 2 mirrors
  • Only subtle brightness differences

9. Portable Mirror To Make You Look Flawless

Deweisn magnifying mirror  10x/1x.

If you want a mirror that will let you keep up your skincare even while traveling, this magnifying mirror is the option for you. The mirror measures 7 inches across, giving you a sizable reflection you and work with.

It’s also dual-sided. One side offers 1x normal magnification, and the other offers 10x magnification for precision work.

The mirror has a 360 folding capability, so you can hold it or set it up on a table, whichever suits your needs best. This small mirror also manages to have 3 lighting settings: cool, warm, and white. So you can choose the one that helps you see best.

This mirror was ultimately designed with beauty and skincare in mind, making it perfect for tweezing or makeup.

  • Adjustable angles
  • Feels heavy

10. Budget-friendly but Effective Mirror

Naysaye travel folding portable mirror.

If you are in the market for a budget mirror that will still get the job done, NAYSAYE has the option for you. This mirror is just under 7 x 5 inches in size, so it’s large enough to clearly see yourself without being too oversized.

It’s lightweight, weighing around half a pound, so it won’t be too heavy in your luggage . You also don’t have to worry about it getting jostled or damaged. The cover is made of PU leather, so it will absorb the brunt of any bumps or shocks.

It might not come with all the fancy add-ons as some other travel mirrors, but it’s a no-fuss, stress-free option that will suit most types of travel use.

  • All-around convenience
  • Too big for purses or handbags

Ideally, a travel mirror will have a good ratio between size and power. That way, you can use it effectively without it taking up too much room in your bag.

However, there are a lot of details that can determine which mirror is the right option for you and your travels. We hope that this list has helped you narrow down your choices so that you’re closer to picking your perfect travel mirror.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do i need a travel mirror.

Travel mirrors can be a useful tool. However, they aren’t always necessary. A travel mirror can be a good investment if you use a lighted mirror or a compact often while at home. You can likely forgo getting one if a regular mirror suits you.

Are mirrors allowed on airplanes?

Travel mirrors are allowed on planes in both carry-on and checked luggage. However, you might have size and weight concerns for heavier mirrors. Most travel mirrors are compact, so you shouldn’t have any problems packing them. Larger mirrors might need to be removed from carry-on luggage if they cause imaging issues in the x-ray scanner.

Are travel mirrors magnifying?

Not all travel mirrors are magnifying. A single-sided mirror will likely just have a regular reflection. However, this isn’t universal. Double-sided mirrors, instead, typically have a regular and a magnified option. There aren’t any standard rules for mirror magnification, so check the details of any option you might be considering.

How big should a travel mirror be?

There are no standard rules for what qualifies as a travel mirror. However, you can follow some general guidelines to determine if an option is suitable for trips. A travel mirror will likely be thin, lightweight, and compact, so it can be easily packed in a bag easily.

Alison Phillips ‘to quit as Daily Mirror editor’ amid Reach budget cuts

‘Universally loved’ editor, 53, who has led paper since 2018, reportedly accepted voluntary redundancy

Alison Phillips will be leaving her role as editor of the Daily Mirror at the end of the month amid massive job and budget cuts throughout the tabloid’s parent company, the Guardian understands.

Phillips, 53, has accepted voluntary redundancy as Reach – owner of the Mirror, Express and scores of local newspapers – pushes through the biggest annual loss of jobs in the UK newspaper industry for decades.

A source at the Mirror said Phillips was “universally loved and respected by staff for her leadership and kindness”. They added: “She has ensured the Mirror remains the powerful voice it is for the decent, compassionate people of Britain because she herself is decent and compassionate.

“While there are some great journalists left at the Mirror, many fear that without Alison at the helm, it’s the end for the UK’s only left-leaning tabloid. Everyone is gutted for Alison, who has worked very hard for the brand and her staff amid some terrible calls from above.”

Phillips has led the Mirror since 2018, when she took over the post from Peter Willis to become the paper’s first female editor since 1903. She was formerly editor of short-lived newspaper the New Day, another venture of Reach, which was then called Trinity Mirror. She was named columnist of the year by the National Press Awards in 2018 for her Wednesday column in the Mirror.

Phillips did not immediately return requests for comment.

Roy Greenslade, the ex-Daily Mirror editor and former Guardian columnist, posted on X that Phillips was a “fine editor” and said the development was “such bad news for the Daily Mirror.” He added that Reach was “facing an existential crisis”.

The departure of Phillips, first reported by the Daily Drone , came just months after Reach announced plans to cut about 450 jobs – almost a tenth of its entire workforce – in an effort to trim operating costs by 5% to 6% in 2024.

Over the past year, Reach has culled almost 800 roles in total – the biggest annual loss of jobs in the UK newspaper industry for decades. The company had already cut costs by 6% over the past year, with a reduction of 200 roles in a £30m cost-cutting drive after a slump in the digital and print newspaper advertising market.

The value of Reach has slumped 30% over the last year as large social media platforms, most notably Facebook, deprioritised news, hurting the company’s digital revenue strategy. The company reported in its third quarter trading update a 13.7% drop in digital revenue, with online page views slumping by 21% year-on-year in the first nine months. Meanwhile, with income from newspaper sales and advertising also continuing to decline, total print revenues fell by 6%.

Jim Mullen, the chief executive of the company, has not ruled out further cuts, telling staff in November that the company must “set ourselves up to win” in an “increasingly fast-paced, competitive and customer-focused digital world.”

“Our industry has a history of change and the future will undoubtedly involve yet more,” added Mullen.

In July 2020, Reach cut 550 staff, about 12% of its workforce at the time, in response to the Covid pandemic.

As the UK’s largest commercial news publisher, Reach’s titles include the Daily Star, the Daily Record, the Manchester Evening News, the Liverpool Echo and the Live network of local news websites.
