Obviously this depends a lot on whether your space allows for it but I'd try to use natural light as much as possible (move your face closer to a window) and / or use "soft" light sources.
If there's a light coming down from the ceiling (like when you're working from your dinner table) you might consider getting a bright / ideally dimmable bulb and put it inside one of these paper lantern spheres. Great light for not much money.

The problem with most of these LED things is that it usually looks like there's a light right in front of you; while it's bright it might not look flattering, definitely not "natural". Weird reflections in the eyes / glasses, etc.
I saw a kickstarter thing that is kind-of a clip-on softbox, that's nice for a portable solution I thought..

What LED light are people recommending? Not too expensive as for the most part my conf calls are adequately lit from outside but i had to get 2 bedside lamps for an early morning call today but I still looked like Mystic Meg about to do a reading.
