Make up mirror for dark mornings

Can I ask what people recommend?

Our cottage style house doesn't get much light. It's especially dark now in the mornings and I'm struggling to do my make up. Often leave the house wondering if I look like a clown Confused

Added to this my eye sight isn't want it used to be so need something that is also magnified.

What does everyone else use?

I recently bought one of those wall hanging Hollywood mirrors for exactly the same reason. I felt like a bit of a twat but it’s actually amazing. It was about £200 from Etsy and the daylight bulbs were another £50 or so but it was worth every penny.

This is what I've got, the daylight bulbs are what make the difference. This means I don't go out looking like a twat with way too much bronzer on because I'm trying to not look like a pure white ghost.

If I could afford it (which I can't) I'd get this one, it looks amazing

I don’t get MN sometimes lol. As I wfh now I just have a white lighting in my bathroom and bedroom (where I put makeup on) and it’s fine. But when I commuted I used to put make up on at the office.

@Ozanj - You only need to worry when you get dressed in the office 😂.

I have a the Revlon illuminated mirror which is magnified on one side and normal on the other. I also have the Simple Human one posted above. The Revlon one is much better as sometimes I prefer the normal mirror and not magnified. Think it was £60 on Amazon or £20 second hand on eBay. Also have replaceable bulbs so easy to maintain.
