Have you ever sat at your dressing table and thought…
Something’s just missing?

It might be your mirror.

Today, we’re breaking down the real difference between lighted and non-lighted dressing table mirrors—so you can find the perfect fit for your space, your style, and your routine.


Quick Links:


1. Let’s Start With the Obvious: Lighting

Lighted mirrors = built-in glow.
Perfect for makeup, skincare, or filming a quick 'Get Ready With Me' video.

Non-lighted mirrors?
They rely on your room’s lighting. If you’ve got a bright space, no problem. If not… your foundation might go rogue.

🔦 The good news? Lighted mirrors provide studio-level brightness—without occupying your entire room.


2. Functionality First

Let’s keep it real.

Lighted mirrors often include:

  • Touch controls

  • Adjustable brightness

  • Daylight tone bulbs

  • Even Bluetooth speakers (yes, really)

Non-lighted mirrors?

  • Just the basics.

  • No tech, no power needed.

  • You hang it up, and you’re done.

💡 Think of it like a phone. Lighted = smartphone. Non-lighted = classic flip phone.


3. Design & Aesthetic

Sometimes… you want less going on.

Non-lighted mirrors are:

  • Slim

  • Minimalist

  • Ideal for Scandi or traditional interiors

Lighted mirrors bring drama. Glam. Insta-ready vibes.

🎨 Example: Our Marilyn White dressing table Mirror is a bestseller for a reason.


4. Power & Setup

Lighted mirrors need:

  • Plug access (some are USB)

  • Occasional bulb replacements

  • Slightly more setup time

Non-lighted mirrors:

  • Hang and go.

  • No power needed.

  • Zero cables.

🔌 So ask yourself—do you want wires or wireless simplicity?


5. Price Difference

Let’s be honest.

Lighted mirrors cost more.
You’re paying for tech, brightness, and features.

Non-lighted mirrors are budget-friendly.
No extras = lower price point.

But here’s the thing:
When you use it every day, investing a little more often feels better in the long run.


6. Use Case Scenarios

You’ll love a lighted mirror if… A non-lighted mirror makes more sense if…
You do your makeup daily You need something simple
You post content online You’ve already got great lighting
You love innovative features (Bluetooth, touch dimming) You prefer a no-fuss setup
You want a glam, modern vibe Your style is minimal and classic
