The Creative Inspiration
I love LOVE and Bridgerton is all about love. The show Bridgerton (based on a book series) sums up true love in a romantic way and the characters are ones you simply fall in love with. The costumes and the scenery are mind-blowing and inspiring to me as a creator and artist.
They are the perfect size for putting on lipstick
With the launch of the new season in 2026, I had some tiny mirrors already and decided to adorn them to match the show’s Regencycore aesthetic. I love looking at them on my vanity and know you will too. They are right on par with something you may see on the show!

You can find most of these items at craft stores, dollar stores, or online. My links below go out to either the brand website, Amazon, CVS, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, or Temu, where we source our supplies based on discounts, budget and pricing.
They are elegant yet cute!
Supplies:
Small lipstick mirror (mine were plastic and they come in other shapes too)
Bows (I got mine at Target, but Amazon has similar bows) and resin floral embellishments, pearls, or jumbo rhinestone accents and Temu had the best prices on the jumbo rhinestones and code afe55197 gets you 30% off your first order)
Flatback rhinestones/pearl mix (my rhinestone kit had glue and the wax pencil needed)
Flatback pearls (my pearl kit here comes in other colors too)
Larger beads for the handle (I used a mix of large and smaller pearl beads to ensure they fit the handle perfectly, you just have to make sure the hole is large enough for the mirror handle)
Adding the resin flowers
Step-by-Step: How to Make Bridgerton-Inspired DIY Lipstick Mirrors
Step 1: Prep Your Mirror
Clean the surface of your lipstick mirror to remove dust or oils.
Cleaning up some oozy glue
Step 2: Add Ornate Details
Use Liquid Fusion glue to floral appliqués, pearls, or small resin bows to the front of the mirror This step instantly elevates the mirror into Bridgerton-worthy territory. Use a pointy cotton swab to remove any oozy glue.
I alternated ivory pearls with colorful pearls and rhinestones
Step 3: Embellish Like the Ton with Rhinestones and Pearls
I added Liquid Fusion glue around the edge (a thin line) and used my wax tip pencil to add rhinestones and pearls. Keep the design delicate—Regency decor favors elegance over excess.
Adding the beads to the handle
Step 4: Add the Beads
Once dry, add your pearls or beads to the handle. Twist off the handle cap and slide the beads on. I had to play around with sizes to ensure they didn’t spin. Some needed to be twisted on. I added a dot of glue to the handle cap to make sure it stayed on. Allow to full dry if needed and style your mirror on your vanity alongside perfumes, candles, and vintage-inspired trays.
These would make cute bridesmaid gifts
Final Thoughts
If you’re craving a little romance at your vanity, these Bridgerton-inspired DIY lipstick mirrors are the perfect blend of beauty, creativity, and timeless style. With just a few supplies, you can create a piece that feels straight out of the Ton—no royal budget required.
