More shopping tips
What type of makeup mirror is best for beauty and personal care?
It all depends on your setup and whether you plan on using your mirror in your bedroom (on your makeup vanity or dresser) or your bathroom. If you plan on using it in your bedroom, you might opt for a standing mirror or even a handheld or travel mirror which can be used on-the-go. If you have ample space and care about convenience, you could go for a hollywood vanity mirror with lights. A tri fold mirror is another great idea that is very affordable.
Bathroom mirrors can be free standing as well, but are more popular in the hotel-style wall mounted format. You can install a wall mount makeup mirror to your line of sight and get an up-close and personal look at your face, especially if you choose an extendable and adjustable mirror. Choose the magnification you desire and take note of the lighting in your bathroom. If it's not bright enough or a little bit dimmed in your bathroom you can illuminate your space and get a clearer view of yourself with a lighted mirror.
What is the best magnification?
Higher magnifications are really helpful when you need to get a really detailed view of your face, pores, skin, or eyebrows. Some high-end mirrors even give you the luxury of having two different magnification strengths, one on each side of the mirror. This is called a 2-sided or 2-faced magnifying mirror. These mirrors can easily be flipped because of their easy-to-use swivel design. Common magnifications for makeup mirrors are 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 7x, and 10x. Each magnification can be used for a different purpose -- shaving, applying makeup, plucking your eyebrows, washing your face, or even just brushing your hair.
What type of lighted mirror should I buy?
When choosing a makeup mirror to buy, there are several things to consider. First, look at the lumen rating of the bulb which gives you an idea about the brightness of the makeup mirror light -- the higher the lumen rating the brighter it will be. The Kelvin scale tells you the hue or color of the light. Most people like a more natural light for their mirrors, which would fall in the mid-range of the Kelvin scale.

The Kelvin scale tells you the hue or color of the light. Most people like a more natural light for their mirrors, which would fall in the mid-range of the Kelvin scale. The most popular type of bulb for makeup mirrors is LED because it lasts 2-5x as long as fluorescent light bulbs. Finally, consider the location of your closest electric source and whether you want a cordless, hardwired makeup mirror, or one with a cord or a rechargeable battery.
