What is the best lighting for a vanity mirror?

The best lighting for a vanity mirror can be brought about by placing two wall-mounted sconces on either side of the mirror at eye level. This creates cross-illumination. Fixtures that emit light that is as close to white as possible should be chosen with a high CRI (around 90-100) for the most accurate colors. Bulbs in the 2,500–3100 Kelvin ‘soft white' range are suitable for normal bathroom use, as well as for makeup application. Find a range of vanity lights on 1stDibs.
