The 3x magnification gives you a hyper-clear view of every detail and the power button lets you toggle between 650 or 300 lux brightness settings, so you can use the mirror discreetly in a candlelit restaurant or busy train.Ī fold-out ring handle is secure and comfortable in your hand orcan be used as a stand for hands-free viewing. When you take the mirror out of the sensor pouch or case, a sensor in the mirror turns the light ring on automatically, and turns it off again when the mirror is put back in. With a sensor mirror compact in your clutch, there’s no more relying on poor light in the loos at parties to check your look.Īt 10cm wide and just 1cm thick, the compact fits in easily with your handbag essentials while giving you all the benefits of simplehuman’s tru-lux light system, so you can be sure your makeup is colour-correct and flawless! Today, simplehuman’s sensor mirror range consists of eight different mirror styles offering a variety of features, magnifications, power options and colour finishes, including the award-winning sensor mirror compact, which gives you the confidence of tru-lux lighting on the go! ![]() ![]() Its super bright LED light ring not only mimicked natural sunlight, but also reflected light consistently and evenly so there was no light loss or hot spots – great for flawless foundation, effective contouring and precise hair removal. Simplehuman’s sensor mirror was no exception as it lit up automatically when your face approached, and the patented tru-lux lighting provided unparalleled colour-correctness, brightness and clarity. I am probably more likely to use this as a makeup mirror while traveling than an everyday, in-my-bag, touch-up mirror, but TBH, I could also see myself bringing this around and whipping it out when I want to take a good selfie, because it's basically an on-the-go ring light, which I am seriously all about.Back in 2013, simplehuman introduced the first sensor activated mirror into the UK market.Ī premium American housewares brand known for sleek, technology led designs, simplehuman had already helped millions of people streamline day to day life with a wide range of kitchen and bathroom products, known as “tools for efficient living”. The only thing I didn't love about the compact was that it lights up automatically when it's removed from its pouch, making it hard to sneak subtle peeks at my makeup while out and about. Because the compact has a 3x zoom, it's a happy medium where I can get a detailed enough view to really concentrate on my eye makeup, but also wide enough that I can see about half my face at one time, which is helpful for applying foundation and the like. It was the perfect opportunity to test out my Sensor Compact Mirror, though. On day five of my testing period, I went on a staycation to a hotel in Brooklyn, so I couldn't drag my Sensor Mirror Trio with me. The Sensor Compact Mirror is a bit more simple, but still far more advanced than any mirror inside a makeup compact, which is my usual go-to for touching up makeup on the go. A touch pad on the side of the mirror controls the level of brightness for each, which ranges from 100 lux to 800 lux, also known as very, very bright. There's a sensor that lights the mirror when you put your face near it, and there's a switch controlling two lighting options: a neutral full sunlight and a more warm-toned candlelight. The Sensor Mirror Trio fits comfortably on my vanity and has 1x, 5x, and 10x zoom views, perfect for everything from full-face view to a super up-close, pore view. The brand generously gifted me their Sensor Mirror Trio ($300, ) as well as the Sensor Compact Mirror ($80, ), both of which I was able to unbox and charge in under an hour before they were ready to use. When Simplehuman approached me to try out their Sensor Mirrors, I knew it was the ultimate opportunity to test my lighting-versus-makeup theory. With this in mind, I decided to step up my game for one week, using a properly lit mirror and seeing if the switch would affect both makeup application as well as how my final look would appear when I left the house. There have definitely been days when I primped under my bathroom's harsh fluorescent lights, only to venture outside and have my makeup look totally different, as well as days where I get ready with only the natural light from my apartment's sole window, which often resulted in an unblended look. As someone whose makeup obsession began in a poorly-lit college dorm room and has followed me to my current, equally dimly-lit NYC apartment, I've always been curious as to how lighting was affecting my makeup routine. ![]()
