I'm looking for a little extra, clean lighting for when I do my makeup. Would this be good for that or should I look for something else?

Hi I'm not sure how to answer that because I primarily use it to film small products. What I can tell you is that its a soft white light and the tripod stand although very sturdy is only about 2-3 feet in height. They are made to stand on a table. I love the lights however I'm not sure if they would work for you. Good luck.

These lights are for taking photos so if you plan on being shot by a camera AFTER applying make up then it will be good. Not for everyday make up application though. Again, for taking photos of mannequins or souvenirs for selling online

This would be overkill. These are pretty large, as well as very hot. You would also need plenty of space for them. Try installing lighting along the sides (instead of across the top) of your mirror in your bathroom. You would get double the light and at the correct angles. Then look for cool heat light bulbs with "daylight" Kelvin. Some say 5500k some argue 5400k (some,5600k) at whatever wattage suits you, depending on how many bulbs you have installed.

This is a great light for accent. The illumination is very diffused and would not work well for primary lighting. I hope this helps.

Depends on how much other light there is in the room...it's not the brightest fixture ever. It'd be good for effect lighting but not for primary lighting.

No, its not good for portrait shots. You do not want lighting blasting into the face of a subject. Lighting should come from a 45 degree angle to the subjects face.

I agree with Jane about the shine. Because of the material it has that glossy appearance so you'll have to be careful with lighting if you don't want it to pop out too much

If you are referring to the abstract clean background, then yes . . . you can light it where everything is shadowless or has very soft shadows.

Make sure you get a white eye shadow base. They have the regular and the shimmer by the Nyx brand. It shows up even without a black-light. I do make-up for a living and this stuff rocks!

Kind of depends on the room and what you're going for. Probably not. It's a fairy subdued look and the light isn't overpowering. Wouldn't recommend that for a bedroom or anything along those lines though.

After using it earlier today for the first time in a while and finding I had mess with lighting so not to go through it... YES. It would be perfect for silhouettes

I don't know why not. You won't have a hair light or background light, but you'll have a main and a fill. I have two pair, so I could use my second pair to light a distant background. If your clothes rack & makeup case are close enough, the fall-off of your main and fill should light the background fine. For a hair light, I got a ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel - ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel Photography Lighting Sony V Mount by ePhotoinc CN600SD which I put on a large boom I already own.

With a light hand this can work for you. If you want a more natural contour then the light may be your best bet. You then have to take into consideration that the highlight may be ashy

I have one Luminess for travel and one to use at home, so my answer is "yes." Though I don't use it every single day, I do use it when I go somewhere or when I have a long day during which I want my makeup to stay looking really good. I find it lasts about 18 hours still looking fresh. I am not as skilled as I want with the blush. However, I learned that 2 drops are all you need of that. I also find that it gives me a uniform, clean, light coverage, hiding imperfections. Those are criteria I look for in a make-up. My application process with the airbrush has improved with use. If you work, you don't ever have to worry about touch-ups. Now, wish they would come up with an airbrush that I could just blow on my eyes and have them all made up! I would buy that, too!

Yes. we used two of them and our spa to apply makeup. It provides plenty of light.

It's certainly made the lighting in my videos better now, however I do plan on investing in a (Diva) ring light in the near future bc they pick up on the color pigment of makeup so well if you get a good enough quality one. For now, I am grateful for this little booger. Best wishes to you.

Honestly, the more I use this lighting kit, the more I like it. But proper lighting definitely takes a certain kind of skill. I recently learned some useful lighting techniques from a video lighting class. Your daughter could easley create portrait type lighting with this kit. It's just a matter of knowing how you set up the lights;.Playing with the arrengemnt, angles, etc.

When applying my makeup it comes out looking GREAT versus using any other mirror. The lighting is perfect so you can't overdo the makeup... I believe the mirror is awesome. My daughter loves it too.
