You know what sucks? Spending forever applying your makeup, taking a stab at some latest makeup trend, and heading out feeling like a million bucks only to discover your face and neck are hilariously unblended. It’s always the jawline. You’re still “a million bucks.” You’re still a major “Betty” makeup or not, the issue here is the effort vs reward.

Poor makeup blending is is often caused by poor lighting or poor visibility and that’s why if you don’t have a good makeup mirror you should certainly consider purchasing one. Not only can makeup mirrors help you protect your time investment, but they can also help you do other things like exfoliating properly, tweezing your eyebrows, and removing those teeny tiny ingrown hairs that look like pimples.

Since there’s so much on the internet about “beauty” this and “makeup” that, we decided to save you some time and compile a list of makeup mirrors that makeup artists swear by.
