For your professional work, The Makeup Light's Pro Line of LED light panel and kits and accessories keeps your work in the best light. For your home, our Home Line of Vanities and vanity solutions bring professional-grade light into your home.
The Makeup Light (TML) is the first portable makeup light ever created and like all best things in life it was created out of love.TML is the child of Emmy Award winning makeup artist, Vivian Baker and her photographer husband, Michael Astalos, one of the top Hollywood designers of lighting systems for studio makeup rooms and trailers.
No more hunching over to do your makeup. Heavy and sturdy, the Ilios ring light mirror is much bigger and taller (21 inches, to be precise!) than other makeup mirrors on this list, a fact our GH beauty experts appreciate.
Ilios Lighting's launch of makeup mirrors that simulate daylight with 98% accuracy represents a major innovation in beauty technology. These mirrors enable more precise makeup application by closely mimicking natural light, ensuring that makeup looks consistent and accurate in various settings.
Ilios Lighting's makeup mirrors catch the attention of celebrities and influencers like Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Bella Hadid, Tati Westbrook, and Patrick Starrr. Their endorsement has not only increased visibility but also piqued the interest of the press and major retailers, leading a growing trend and broader market appeal.
Ilios Lighting has expanded its reach significantly by securing placement in major retailers worldwide, including Neiman Marcus, Dillard's, Bloomingdale's, and Harrods. This move puts their makeup mirrors in over 100 stores globally, broadening their market presence and making their innovative products more accessible to a wider audience.
Ilios Lighting is building a strong reputation for quality as it expands further, with its products now available in over 250 stores globally and on Target.com. The upcoming launch of a new product later this year continues to underscore the brand's commitment to innovation and excellence in the makeup mirror category.
The Makeup Light (TML) - Starter Kit has been designed by US Photographer Michael Astalos after discovering the issues that Makeup Artists were faced with trying to find adequate light sources both on set and on location.
Unlike other makeup lights, TML offers a full light spectrum whereas some other LED lights do not show the full colour range and only go as far as magenta so red is not seen which can be very problematic.
One of its many features is a built in dimmer switch allowing you to achieve five different settings from lowest to highest. When the light is switched on it will automatically be on the brightest setting and gently tapping the discreet dimmer switch will decrease the brightness by 20% with each tap. To switch off simply hold the dimmer switch for a little longer-approximately 2 seconds.
Finished with a brilliant glossy display and sleek metal case (in "Gold" or "Graphite" color), this lightweight panel is a powerful accessory you need in your kit. Durable and portable, the key light is designed to go wherever you go.

The cone cells in our eyes help us observe color, while our rod cells are stimulated by light at varying intensities. Cone cells are also in control of the shape, size, and brightness of the visual images we perceive.
While the pupil and iris work together to regulate the amount of light entering the eye, cone photoreceptors are adapting to the changes in light. The eye muscles relax in faint light and the pupil dilates. This dilation lets more light enter when exposed to bright light.
The eye muscles do the opposite in bright light and contract and constrict the pupil to reduce the amount of light entering. The rod and cone cell receptors enable our eyes to adapt to various light. The retina shifts functions between the rods and cones depending on the amount of light entering the eye.
When a light is turned off, our eyes need time to adjust. The rod cells undergo bleaching from the light source that is gone. This undertaking is called dark adaptation and is slower than light adaptation because our rod receptors are more sensitive and 15X more abundant than cone cells.
Ideally, 4800K to 5000K is recommended for makeup application. This is because it's not too warm or too cool and emits a peak wavelength close to 555 nanometers. This allows our eyes to see a fuller range of visible color.
However, with modern and more energy-efficient bulbs, wattage does not always correspond with lumens. An LED bulb could have a low wattage but produce enough lumens to power a higher watt bulb.
Color temperature and CRI are different. They are unique variables for describing the nature of a light source. CRI affects the color of things we see, while the color temperature is the color of the light. For instance, one 5000K light bulb can have a CRI of 75, and a different 5000K bulb can have a CRI of 90.
CRI measures eight colors, and it may be replaced with new color rendering standards that can measure more colors in modern lighting, like LED or solid-state lighting. Other options for standards include the Color Quality Scale (CQS) or IES TM-30-15.
The best CRI for the bulbs you choose for your makeup vanity should have a CRI range as close to 100 as possible. Any CRI above 80 will have good color rendering for the human eye and allow you to see the broadest range of color accurately.
While warm lighting can make you look great, it can cause you to apply your makeup unevenly or miss concealing blemishes. Once you move into different lighting, the unevenness will become apparent.
The best lighting for makeup application is white light. However, it is always nice to be able to apply your makeup under the best possible lighting conditions and have the option to adjust your lighting to test out how the application looks in other lights.
This light is easy to pack up and take with you on the jobsite or wherever you need professional lighting. It has six mounting positions, making it easy to get the right angle of light for every situation.
The visible light spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye is capable of seeing. The wavelengths in this spectrum are called visible light. The human eye can see wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.
If the lumens are not listed on the product label of the bulb or light fixture you purchased, you can calculate lumens by using an equation. However, you will first need to figure out the luminous efficacy or lumens per watt.
If you can't set up your makeup mirror in an ideal position, cover the window with curtains or blinds when the light just isn't right. Though natural light is flattering, it's better to replace it with artificial light instead of competing with shadows.
Incandescent bulbs are one of the most used but not only do they emit heat (and no one wants melted makeup and a sweaty face), their colour and temperature are fixed at certain settings. Incandescent bulbs emit a warm white light, which is ideal for makeup but they're not environmentally friendly and they can be costly in the long run.
LED lights are the clear winner. Energy efficient and often dimmable, LED lights are bright enough to give you a clear view of your face while providing even lighting. An even better choice are smart LED lights that can be adjusted from warm to cool white light (such as the Philips Hue White ambiance line) so that you can get the exact shade of light and brightness you need.
Bright idea: Save time on installing all those light bulbs and instead use the Adore vanity mirror, which eliminates the need for a bulb and instead provides a seamless ring of warm to cool white light.
If you are using lamps, the type of light you choose depends on the space you have your vanity on or alongside it. The light source should be ideally at face level, as you will get shadows if placed above or below.
If using a standard lamp, consider placing two instead of just one, with one each in front and at either side of you to cast a more even light across your face. If you do not have space for lamps on your vanity, choose a floor lamp with a light source at face level.
*When a bulb displays "Up to" a certain number of lumens in its specifications, it displays the maximum lumen output of the bulb. It shows how bright the bulb can get at 2700 K (White bulbs) or 4000 K (White ambiance or White and colour ambiance bulbs). Learn more about brightness.
In the video, the muscular system makeup is applied using Skin Illustrator colors. The skeleton makeup is Glo-Worm hand-painted/airbrushed over top of the initial look, and activated under a UV black light.
Due to the high pigment content and lack of unnecessary fillers in the Skin Illustrator color system, cracks, bubbles and any shrunken appearance that may occur in some dried color cells does not affect the quality or performance of the product in any way.
I'm remodeling a guest bathroom that is very small, and I'm trying to keep it simple and uncluttered, so I'm considering recessed lights over the vanity instead of a fixture. But... are recessed lights good for viewing yourself and applying makeup, etc.?
