Your morning routine or an evening getting ready for a party: with your favourite music or a good podcast it is just that bit more fun. But if your phone is on the dressing table, it often sounds tinny and is right in the way. A Hollywood mirror with Bluetooth speaker solves that. You play your music through the mirror, while the light around your face is even and bright. But do you really need that Bluetooth, and which model suits you? In this guide we set it out for you.
What does the Bluetooth speaker do?
The mirror contains a speaker that you connect to your phone via Bluetooth. Your music, podcast or playlist then plays from the mirror instead of from your phone. According to the description, on the Capucine you can also use the speaker to make calls while doing your make-up. Without music, you simply use the mirror as a make-up mirror, of course.
Our Hollywood mirrors with Bluetooth
| Model | Size | Light | Extras |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capucine | 58 × 46 cm | 15 dimmable LED bulbs, 3 light colours | 10x detail mirror, USB-C and USB-A, standing or on the wall |
| Celine XL | 80 × 60 cm | 18 dimmable LED bulbs, 3 light colours | Magnetic 10x detail mirror, USB-C |
| LED strip XL | 80 × 60 cm | LED strip all around, 3000 to 6000K, steplessly dimmable with memory | Magnetic 10x detail mirror, USB-C and USB-A, on the table or on the wall |
All three are white and have 3 light colours: warm, neutral and cool.
Step 1: which size fits your dressing table?
The 58 × 46 cm is our most popular size. You see your face and your hair, and it fits on most dressing tables. Do you also want to see your shoulders and your whole hairstyle, or do you have a large dressing table or an empty wall? Then 80 × 60 cm is a great choice. Measure the width of your dressing table and the space to the wall or a cupboard before you choose.
Step 2: separate bulbs or an LED strip?
- Separate bulbs: the classic look from a theatre dressing room. The Capucine has 15 bulbs, the Celine XL 18.
- LED strip: one continuous edge of light around the glass. Calmer in appearance and lovely in a sleek or minimalist interior, as with the LED strip XL.
The light is even with both. So the choice is mainly a matter of taste. How to use the light smartly for your make-up, you can read in Make-up lighting: how to get your make-up right every time.
Which light colour do you use when?
- Cool light: bright and white, ideal for checking your foundation and concealer.
- Neutral light: closest to daylight, nice for your everyday make-up.
- Warm light: soft and flattering, handy for checking an evening look.
Because all three models are dimmable, you then set the brightness precisely. On the LED strip XL, the mirror remembers your favourite setting.
Step 3: do you really need Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is an extra, not a must. These questions help you choose:
- Do you often listen to music or podcasts during your routine? Then a mirror with a speaker is a real recommendation.
- Is your dressing table in your bedroom? Then you no longer need a separate speaker taking up space.
- Do you only want good light? Then choose a model without Bluetooth, such as the Hollywood mirror white 58 × 46 cm, the black version or the 58 × 46 cm LED make-up mirror with strip.
What else to look for
- Detail mirror: all three Bluetooth models have a 10x magnifying mirror for eyeliner, eyebrows and skincare. On the Celine XL and the LED strip XL it is magnetic.
- Charging: via the USB port you charge your phone or beauty tools at your mirror. Handy, because you are already playing music from your phone via Bluetooth.
- Placement: you can stand the Capucine or hang it on the wall. You place the LED strip XL on the table or on the wall, the mounting kit is included. Not sure what works best? Read Hanging or standing a Hollywood mirror.
- Colour: all Bluetooth models are white. Prefer black? Then choose the black version without a speaker.
Tips for your mirror with speaker
- Connect your phone to the mirror once. How exactly that works, you can read in the manual.
- Do not place the mirror right next to the shower, so no water gets to the electronics.
- Clean the glass with a slightly damp microfibre cloth. Do not spray cleaning products directly onto the mirror or the bulbs.
- No dressing table yet? Choose one with a flat top that is wide enough for the mirror, plus some space for your make-up next to it.
Who is a mirror with Bluetooth for?
For anyone who wants to make their daily beauty routine a moment of their own. Think of the make-up lover who puts on a tutorial or podcast every morning, a teenager getting ready for a party with music on, or someone who simply likes a tidy dressing table without a separate speaker and cables. Do you mainly use your dressing table briefly and quickly in the morning, and would you rather not listen to anything then? Then you will get more out of a model without a speaker and can put the difference towards a larger size.
