GLAMCOR Riki Skinny Mirror Review (2027)
The GLAMCOR Riki Skinny pairs five-stage daylight dimming with a phone clip and a magnetic magnifier. Our research-based verdict on the creator mirror.
GLAMCOR LED Vanity Mirror, 5 Dimming Stages (Skinny)
The slim creator mirror: daylight LEDs, five dimming stages, a phone clip and a magnetic magnifier for makeup and video.
Our verdict
The Riki Skinny earns its premium price for a specific buyer: someone who does makeup and also films it. Five dimming stages of daylight light, a magnetic phone clip and Bluetooth selfie control turn a vanity mirror into a filming light, while the slim 1.5 lb body still packs like a tablet. Pure vanity buyers should not pay for creator features they will not use, but for makeup artists and tutorial creators, this is the most versatile mirror in the guide.
What we like
- Five dimming stages fine-tune daylight light for makeup, photos and video in one mirror
- Magnetic phone clip and Bluetooth selfie function turn the mirror into a filming light
- Slim 9.5 by 13 inch body at 1.5 lb packs like a tablet instead of a framed vanity mirror
- Magnetic magnifying mirror attaches for detail work and removes for a clean full view
What to watch out for
- Premium price reflects creator features that a plain vanity buyer may never use
- Slim body needs its stand for stability and can tip if the stand is not set properly
- The mirror is larger than a pocket compact, so it still needs bag space despite the slim shape
What owners report: GLAMCOR LED Vanity Mirror, 5 Dimming Stages (Skinny)
Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.
Most praised
- Video lighting is praised most, with owners saying tutorial footage finally matches the mirror view.
- The slim shape is liked for travel, since it slides into a bag where a framed mirror would not fit.
- Dimming stages are called genuinely useful, not decorative, for matching different room light.
Common complaints
- Owners who bought it only for makeup complain the creator price is hard to justify.
- The stand draws complaints when it slips on a smooth desk and the mirror leans forward.
- Some owners find the phone clip fiddly with larger phone cases attached.
Who it is for
Makeup artists, tutorial creators and travellers who want pro-style daylight light plus phone filming in one flat mirror.
Light tuned for camera as well as mirror
Five dimming stages give finer control than the three-step dimmers on most mirrors, which matters on camera where a small brightness change shows clearly. HD daylight LEDs keep colour honest for both makeup and video, so the look in the mirror matches the look on screen more closely than with a warm-only mirror.
Phone clip and magnifier, attached not loose
The magnetic phone clip holds a phone in the light for tutorials and selfies, and the magnetic magnifier attaches for detail work then removes for a clean full view. Both attachments stay with the mirror instead of living in a drawer, which is why owners actually use them rather than forgetting them.
Slim, but not pocket sized
At 9.5 by 13 inches and 1.5 lb, the Skinny packs flat and travels well, but it still needs bag space and its stand for stability. Owners who expect a pocket mirror will be surprised by the size; owners who expect a framed vanity mirror will be pleased by the slimness. It sits between those two categories by design.

Questions, answered
Does the Riki Skinny work as a normal makeup mirror?
Yes. Without a phone attached it is a daylight vanity mirror with five dimming stages and a magnetic magnifier. The creator features are additions, not requirements, though they are part of the price.
What magnification does the Skinny include?
A magnetic 10x mirror is included for detail work, per the listing. The main mirror face is for a full view, so detail work uses the attached magnifier, not the main glass.
Is the Skinny good for travel?
Yes, for bag travel rather than pocket travel. Its slim body and 1.5 lb weight pack like a tablet, but it needs its stand for stable use and still takes a bag slot.

- This ranking judges light alone, not mirror size or travel shape. A lighted mirror fails if its light is uneven, too warm, or fixed at one brightness, however good its glass is. The winners here spread light evenly across the face, offer more than one colour temperature, and let brightness be set for daylight and evening checks.The Best Lighted Makeup Mirrors (2027)
- Older eyes need a different ranking. Very high magnification at a very short distance is tiring, while a dim mirror or a small face forces leaning and squinting. This guide favours bright even light, a large face, 5x as the detail sweet spot, and a 10x option that is used briefly for specific tasks rather than for the whole routine.The Best Makeup Mirrors for Older Eyes (2027)
- Travel mirrors are judged on a different scale from vanity mirrors: folded thickness, weight, battery habit and face size in a bag. A travel mirror that is merely small but does not fold flat still wastes bag space, and a mirror with a dead battery on day two is worse than a plain hotel mirror. The winners here fold flat, charge by USB and keep a usable face size.The Best Travel Makeup Mirrors (2027)
