Customer Reviews
I’ve had enough time with The Makeup Light now to give a genuinely honest opinion, and I can confidently say it was worth the investment for me.
What I think makes this light different is that it’s not really a “glamour” light. It doesn’t overly soften, blur, or beautify everything the way a lot of popular travel lights do. In fact, when you first switch to it, you may actually miss some of that ultra flattering Hollywood-style diffusion.
But once you start really working under it, you realize what it’s doing instead.
The color accuracy is honestly on another level. Undertones, depth, warmth, olive tones, surface redness, balance between face and neck… this light reveals everything in a very true-to-life way. I’ve noticed even a small improvement in my color matching since using it consistently, and as artists we know even a 5-10% improvement in complexion work can completely elevate the final result.
That’s the part I don’t think people fully understand about this light until they use it themselves. It quietly sharpens your eye.
Are you sacrificing a little bit of the dreamy “everyone looks perfect immediately” effect that softer lights give? Yes. But in return, you gain confidence that the makeup is actually balanced and accurate in real life, not just under flattering lighting.
I genuinely think this light has made me a better artist already, and I absolutely plan on purchasing a second one in the future. That said, even one light is more than enough for most artists.

I finally pulled the trigger after so many lesser quality lights, and i'm not having a singular regret about getting the makeup light!
Just bought the makeup light and it’s just perfect . I love how easy it is to store and set up
This makeup light has completely elevated my artistry and client experience. The brightness is perfectly balanced, giving a soft yet powerful glow that enhances every detail without washing out the skin. It provides true-to-color lighting, which helps me match foundation shades accurately and create flawless blends. The adjustable settings make it easy to customize for bridal, party, or editorial looks. I especially love how it minimizes shadows, making photos and videos look professional and polished. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and ideal for both studio and on-location work. Truly a must-have tool for any serious makeup artist.
This lighting will give you the best exposure and fill the room with the greatest natural finish lighting. Perfect to take photos from all angles of your model with the brightness and not have to keep moving the light around! I bought 2 sets of these. 10/10 recommend.
I heard about this light from Nikki La Rose on YouTube. At 67 I need pretty bright light to best apply my makeup, especially when I travel. So while I'm not a professional MUA, I find this light to be very helpful.
TML starter kit comes with everything you could need and then some to properly light the space you are working in. Everything is light weight and compact making travel a breeze! The quality is impeccable. Worth every penny.
I love this light! It’s perfect for my hair and makeup photos, and while working on clients!
Great quality and it’s totally worth every dollar spent!
My video look so good now!!!
Wish I had purchased sooner.
This light is LIFE! As a traveling wedding artist I have been looking for a light for years that was worth the money, and this light was absolutely worth it!
I wish I would have bought this many years ago when I first saw it at The Makeup Show . It is a game changer. Thank you !
While I was researching what items to have with my makeup kit as a new MUA, TML kept coming up. I had considered starting off with a ring light and work my way up but if I wanted to be effective and efficient with my clients and money, I knew I had to not settle and save up. Fast forward to my first wedding that I was booked for, the venue had natural light but tons of shadows so TML helped me focus on each face and see the true colors as they would appear on camera. For my current use and stage in my career, this light is a perfect addition to my kit. I hope to expand on another one in the future as well as the Vivian set bag. Thank you for creating this tool for this new generation of MUAs like myself! ❤️
