Ever look in a mirror and feel… off?  Like your skin looks washed out, or your makeup reads a little too bold, even though it looked just fine in natural light?

You’re not imagining it. It’s probably your lighting.

Let’s Talk About CRI (But Make It Chill)

Okay, quick science moment—promise it won’t feel like homework. CRI stands for Color Rendering Index. It measures how accurately a light source shows the true colors of whatever it touches. The scale goes from 0 to 100. Daylight scores close to 100. Most basic lighting in mirrors? Somewhere in the 70s or low 80s. Kinda meh.

Redee mirrors use 90+ CRI lighting, which means what you see in the mirror is actually what you look like. Skin tone, blush, eye shadow, the whole vibe.

It’s like finally seeing yourself in HD—without the harshness.

This Isn’t Just About Makeup

Sure, high-CRI lighting makes your makeup game way easier. (No more stepping outside and realizing your bronzer betrayed you.)  But it’s more than that.

It’s about catching your reflection and thinking, "Hey. There I am."

There’s something grounding about seeing your real self clearly with no shadows muddying the mood, no weird tints throwing you off. Just… you, lit the way you’re meant to be.

Once You See It, You Can’t Unsee It

You might not notice your old mirror’s lighting right away. But once you step in front of one with high-CRI? Whoa.

Suddenly your foundation matches perfectly.  Your under-eye concealer looks like skin, not a spotlight. Even bare-faced, you feel more you...like the light isn’t trying to change you.  Just reflect you.

Why We Made Our Mirrors This Way

We didn’t add high-CRI lighting because it sounded fancy. We did it because we know what it’s like to need a mirror that’s on your team.

That moment before a big day. That pause before heading out when you need to feel like yourself again. That late-night check-in where the reflection matters more than the routine.

Redee mirrors were made for all of it.

So, What’s It Feel Like to Use One?

It feels calm.
It feels honest.
It feels like the lighting finally caught up with you—not the other way around.
No guesswork. No drama. Just clarity.
