Standing ring selfie lights are an essential to get the perfect picture - whether it is for an at-home photo shoot, a make-up tutorial, cooking tutorial, or just for solidifying those memories of having fun with your pals.

This set-up is a fan favourite for customers, as it comes complete with a dimmable LED ring light, an adjustable stand, a selection of filters, Bluetooth receiver and smartphone holder.

The aluminium alloy stand is pretty sturdy with three lock-in legs, and is adjustable for when you need to crack your perfect shot on your next travels.

It also comes with orange and white light filters, so you can play around with different moods - for just over £70, it's a great investment for those that are selfie serious.

Celebrity-loved brand (think Kim K: queen of selfies) LuMee have cracked the must-have selfie light phone case.

The on-trend Millennial Pink Phone Case has a selfie light on the front and back to make sure you get flattering selfies wherever you are, and whenever you have phone in hand (including that dingy club bathroom...)!

The phone case is like having a studio at your fingertips, and when in use provides 30 minutes of bright, flattering lighting to get the best shot.

Alongside a year-long warranty, the case comes in a range of stylish colours and patterns to suit all different phone models. Now, get ready for your close-up...

Trying to film a make-up or cooking tutorial with one hand is just impossible and plain messy, which is why you need the handsfree Diyife selfie light in your life.

This device has a clip-on attachment for it to be fastened securely and safely to a table, with two sturdy chords attached for the light, and another to steadily suspend the phone to get your perfect, handsfree shot.

The light itself has 10 dimmable settings, and can be adjusted and rotated to get the perfect angle for your content.

This 36 LED Ring Selfie Light is ideal for selfie-getters who are always on the go, and travelling far and wide to crack their social media game.

This mini ring light is super portable, fits in the palm of your hand and is sturdy enough to be flung into a bag and then clipped onto the front of your phone when you're ready.

It's battery-powered, so there's no risk of getting tangled in pesky wires, and provides three different levels of brightness so ideals for cloudy days, or night-time fun.

For about a fiver, it's a steal.

This is perhaps better suited for film makers or content creators who fancy a bit of colour, and ambience as they are definitely different to your usual selfie light, or ring light.

These colourful selfie lights come as a pack of two and plug straight into the wall for the best use.

They have four colour filters that are easily adjustable, including red, yellow, blue and white - and it boasts being great for at-home portrait shoots, or even just as a standard room mood light.

Like selfie sticks, selfie lights are props designed to help up your selfie game and get perfect shots every time - they're much-loved by celebs and influencers alike.

A selfie light can help guarantee a professional-looking photo, every time - with minimal cost and effort.

You can find selfie lights built into smartphones: see the LuMee, which offer phone cases with front and back LED lights, which not only improve your selfie, but also work to illuminate you on Facetime and Skype calls (essential when chatting to loved ones who are far away).

A ring light is a different version of a selfie light, which usually consists of a number of LED lights formed into a ring-shaped device.

Ring lights can clip onto your phone, laptop or table which makes it ideal portable tech for your selfies on the go, and can cost anything from a fiver upwards.

Some pricier ring lights come with their own stand for a full-on selfie station at home - but most are a great investment if you're already set on upping your social media or selfie game.

It totally depends on which ring light you opt for! Most affordable and budget-friendly ring lights are battery-operated can be directly clipped onto your smartphone, tablet or laptop - whereas others come with smartphone props.

The more pricier options tend to be plugged directly into the wall for power, and have a collapsible tripod. Be sure to read manufacturing advice when it comes to setting up your ring light.

Yes, you can use a ring light with glasses, but it's key to set up your ring light in a certain way so that you avoid the reflection and glare of the LED light.

Make sure you don't position the ring light directly in front of you, but set it aside from your body - to a spot that neither your body nor face is facing.

You will still get the effects of your face lighting up, but the ring light won't be reflected in your glasses.

Selfie lights (including ones that clip onto your phone) start from as little as a fiver on Amazon, although most small selfie ring lights will be less than £15.

More sophisticated selfie lights with stands will cost around £20-£25, although professionals may want to invest in a selfie light kit, which includes a host of accessories and kit to boast, but will likely cost over £50.

There are different types of selfie lights which work in different ways, but typically a selfie light is a ring light that you put your phone or laptop to create a uniform, warm lighting look which helps to eliminate any shadows and imperfections.

Phones with built-in lighting operate using warm LED lights, which won't give off any extra heat.

There are also battery-powered flash ring lights that you can attach to your camera lens, as well as larger selfie lights that mount onto a stand or tripod to help you get the most flattering, well-lit shot.
