# Illuminating Cosmetic Reflections The USB Lighted Mirror Makes Putting on Makeup Brighter By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usb-lighted-mirror References: [heartymagazine](http://heartymagazine.com/news/usb-lighted-mirror-product) & [usb.brando](http://usb.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00308) With USB-powered coolers and heaters, I suppose it was only a matter of time before something like the USB Lighted Mirror was designed. The craze of [plugging everything into the computer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoleaf-pegboard-desk-dock) has surprisingly entered into the world of cosmetics. The USB Lighted Mirror is an illuminating looking glass that lights up once you plug it into the computer. So, if a blackout occurs or if for some reason you just feel like putting on makeup in a dark place, this miniature kit has got you covered. In addition to the mirror, the ladies also get their own fold-up compact attached to it, along with a personal picture frame. The USB Lighted Mirror may be an indication that [makeup is going digital](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixed-reality-makeup). I wouldn't be surprised if a lit-up lipstick powered by USB comes next. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Usb-powered Beauty Accessories:** Opportunity to develop innovative USB-powered beauty tools for convenient and portable use. - **Digital Transformation in Cosmetics:** Potential for integrating technology into traditional cosmetic products to enhance user experience and functionality. - **Personalized Compact Mirrors:** Creating customizable compact mirrors with built-in lighting and photo frames for a personal touch. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Industry players can explore new product lines that merge technology and beauty for modern consumers. - **Electronics and Technology:** Opportunity for tech companies to venture into the beauty industry by developing USB-powered cosmetic devices and accessories. - **Gift and Souvenir:** Potential market for unique and personalized USB-powered compact mirrors as trendy gift items and souvenirs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Beauty Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-micro-led-beauty-mirror.md) - [Intelligent Illumination Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifx-supercolor-mirror.md) - [Computer-Synchronizing LED Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pc-screen-mirror-lightstrip.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Cosmetic Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-cosmetic-travel-case.md) - [Mood-Based Makeup Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loreal-mood-mirror.md) - [Makeup-Inspired Colorfuldevices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lipstick-mechanical-keyboard.md) - [Tech-Driven Beauty Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swan-beauty-mirror.md) - [Multifunctional Webcam Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/webcam-and-lighting-tool.md) - [Supplemental Desktop Computer Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workmate-smart-lamp.md)
