Both of these electric mirrorsprovidehigh-quality lighting for your makeup needs. But if I have to be honest, front-lit mirrors are better for makeup.

This is because the backlit variety of mirrors isessentiallya traditional mirror withadditionallighting from the back. They aresuitablefor creatingmood lighting,similar to candlelight. They create ambient lighting for yourenjoymentand require professional installation.

Withfront-lit mirrors, youcan havea tabletop mirrorforyour vanity or portable LED mirrors.

You canchoose froma widerangeof magnificationoptions,from1Xup to10X,which makesapplyingcosmetics much easier.

Not to mention picking on every single pore! (guilty)

So, while both are great makeupoptions,I'd say the choice depends on your living situation. If you have space for a large, aesthetically pleasing mirror, I'drecommend choosingedge-lit mirrors.

Butif that isn't an option and you still need a great lighting source for makeup,I would recommend choosinga high-quality vanity mirror.
