Taking selfies is an art. Just look at the lighting and composition of Kylie Jenner’s Instagram photos! You don’t need to pose in a perfectly sun-bathed room, though, to snap the perfect self-portrait of yourself — that’s where a ring light comes in.

There seems to be a never-ending option of ring lights for your DIY photo shoots and TikTok videos. You can get ring lights with stands, or ones designed to attach onto other objects (like a laptop). There are also specs to consider: would you rather plug your ring light into a wall outlet or a USB source? Or perhaps you’re debating between a small and big ring light (remember, wider lights will create a softer light, which could be more ideal for taking a whole-body selfie for fashion posts).

HollywoodLife has pulled together a ring light shopping guide to level up your selfie game, offering a diverse range in ring light size, power sources, and more. Just pick one or two lights that best suit your needs!

Here’s a no-nonsense, straightforward ring light! Not all of us are tech wizards, and this ring light from Amazon doesn’t require too much instruction manual reading to figure out. It offers the standard setup — tripod with a phone holder at the center of the 10-inch ring light — and is especially convenient with a wireless, Bluetooth-enabled remote shutter and an AC/DC adapter that plugs into an electrical outlet. You also get to play with a lot of light options! There are three color modes — “cool white,” “warm yellow” and “daylight” — as well as 10 brightness levels. Given its smaller size, this is best used as a selfie ring light (or a ring light for your lip-syncing TikToks). $37, amazon.com

Here’s another ring light from Amazon that packs a lot of features into an affordable price point! You can have a rainbow party with this one, since this USB powered ring light offers seven RGB colors that can create hues from indigo to violet to green. This ring light also offers three normal colors (white, yellow light, and warm yellow light), and 10 levels of brightness. This is an exceptional value since the ring light comes with not one but two stands — a bigger one that can be set up between 17-44 inches in height, and a mini stand ideal for tables. Here’s the cherry on top: the ring light comes with a remote shutter! $40, amazon.com

If you can’t stand the thought of lugging around a giant tripod, this ring light is for you! It’s self-storing, meaning the light and stand neatly fold right into the base. Whenever you’re ready to go, just pop everything out for an instant photoshoot! You also get great range in height, since this ring light can extend between 20 inches to 54 inches in height. $40, bestbuy.com 

Want to capture the extra fine details of your gorgeous face? This itsy-bitsy USB powered ring light does just that at 3.5 inches and is able to capture any angle thanks to a completely flexible gooseneck that can turn at 360 degrees. Thanks to a clip-on base, you can attach this petite ring light anywhere — like your laptop, whenever you’re feeling inspired to break away from a Netflix binge and have a selfie session. $20, target.com

Here’s an excellent ring light for not only taking selfies but filming and vlogging as well! At 18 inches, this is the second-biggest ring light on the list, making it ideal to film farther away. Most DLSR cameras can also be screwed onto the stand, which extends between 36.2 inches to 78.7inches in height. You also get 240 pieces of LED bulbs, four white filters, four orange filters, a power adapter, and an electrical plug. To make your life extra easier, the phone holder rotates at 360 degrees. This ring light was exceptionally praised on Amazon after 4,560 reviews gave it an average rating of 4.5 stars. $82, amazon.com
