A few things worth knowing.
Does it work in a completely dark room?
The screen can illuminate a nearby face, but camera quality, screen brightness and distance all affect the result. It is not night vision.
Does the app use my camera?
Only the optional live mirror needs camera access. You can use screen lighting without enabling the mirror. The app does not take photos, record video or upload your reflection.
Is Ring Light Mirror free?
The current App Store version is free, with no ads or active in-app purchases. Check the store listing for the latest availability and terms.
Can I get it on Android?
Not yet. The Android version is not currently available on Google Play.
Will the colors match my makeup in daylight?
Not necessarily. Your screen, camera and room lighting can change how colors appear. Use natural daylight for a final color check when possible.
Keep a little light within reach.
Your next mirror is already in your pocket.
