I think the second one sounds better. "I look good even in a broken mirror" can be interpreted as something like "I look so good, that I keep looking good when shown in a broken mirror (which isn't normal)".
To me, the first one doesn't sound quite good, and it looks ungrammatical. However, I may be wrong, and it may be acceptable. Yet I would still recommend the second one.
