My wife occasionally complains that we don't have enough light around the mirror so that the look changes when she goes out into the sun. Yours looks relatively dim as well.

It can also be the light. If it’s a cooler CCT which people tend to use it will mute a lot of colors pretty bad. Wanna go warmer about 4000-5000k. Using high CRI helps as well. OP’s looks cooler than I would have gone.
It’ll be more like being in a jewelry store. They have great lighting if you have ever noticed. I believe even the nicer make up places do this as well. Could be wrong.
TLDR: could be color temp of light and not the light being too dim.

That's pretty cold light IMO. Lost in translation maybe? We say "warmer" light when the color temperature goes down.
(Etymologically I think it's because of the color of a fireplace.)

It is also a concern for me. But the top led strip also reflects in the mirror so it gives direct light to the face. I hope that will be enough. If it is not enough i have wound extra lights specialy made for makeup around the mirror.

It may be brighter when seated; it looks like the table top is nicely lit. She may also have a table-top mirror with lighting.

Add to that the shelf space inviting even more light blockage from everything that will be placed there.
