The best ring light for selfies should have some lighting options to give a warm, cool, or natural light to your pictures. You can choose between lightweight portable ones, or more solid ring lights that sit on tripods that you can also mount your camera to for better shooting.
The size of ring lights for selfies varies, but the general rule is that the bigger the circumference, the softer the light. To really up your selfie game, 12" is the size to aim for - although it's harder to find, and makes the light less portable.

The perfect picture
When you're choosing the best ring light for selfies, you need to think about where you'll be using it. Do you need something portable, like the Diyife clip-on light or do you want to turn your room into a mini studio with a more high-tech option like the one from TaoTronics?
For something in between, the staff pick is the Begleri ring light that has the biggest circumference for the softest lighting. The Soft Digits 10" ring light is also a good option.
