How to Change Your Appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)

Changing your character’s appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3 requires finding a Magic Mirror in your campsite. Once you spot your camp’s Magic Mirror, interact with it to open a customization screen where you can change your hair, face, body art, and other aspects of your character. You can do this as often as you’d like at no cost.

Depending on which Act and area you’re currently in, the Magic Mirror may be inside a building, along the edge of your camp, or in another location far from your companions’ tents. Below are some examples of Magic Mirrors in Acts one, two, and three.

How to Change Your Character’s Appearance Using the Magic Mirror in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)

Interacting with a Magic Mirror opens a character customization screen. The characteristics and appearances you can change in the magic mirror include Identity, voice, face, body art, eye colour, makeup, and hair style and colour.

The only aspects you can’t change are your race, subrace, and body type because it is currently not available in the magic mirror. This is most likely because of programming conflicts. You also can’t modify Origin characters, hirelings, or full illithid characters.

Changing your appearance doesn’t cost any gold, nor does it give your party any debuffs, allowing you to modify your looks as often as you’d like. You can also change your appearance anytime during your playthrough once you unlock your campsite.
