Illuminated magnifying mirror

To create the perfect make-up, you need not only to have taste and certain skills, but also to have a well-lit room. In the daytime, the problem of lack of light fades into the background, and in the evening it becomes very urgent. Using an illuminated magnifying mirror will help solve the problem.

The magnifying glass cosmetic mirror comes in a variety of sizes and shapes, from small round models to large rectangular or oval models. Lighting elements are installed around the entire perimeter.

The versatile magnifying mirror can be wall or table mounted. Standard models are small in size, which makes it possible to take them with you on the road. The universal mirror is attached to the wall with magnetic clips.

Among the features of this model are the following:

• if the accessory has a titanium, silver or copper coating, it can be used in a room with high humidity (bathroom);
• models with amalgam and aluminum coating can only be used in dry rooms (hallway, bedroom), as they do not withstand moisture well.

Wall mirrors have a fixed installation location and are not intended for frequent transfer from place to place. The product, installed taking into account a certain height and angle of inclination, will be comfortable to use and will allow you to see all the inaccuracies of the makeup done.

There are models equipped with a mount that allows you to bring the mirror closer or further away from the wall, change the degree of rotation and tilt. Soft illumination well illuminates all areas of the face, does not blind the eyes. The illuminating elements can be powered by batteries or an outlet (used more often than others).

The tabletop model of the mirror can be attached to a tabletop or to a movable stand. The overwhelming majority of makeup artists and representatives of the beautiful half of humanity prefer the desktop version of the mirror. It is compact in size, allowing you to take it with you, and has a variety of functionalities (two mirrored sides, magnification from 2 to 10).

Before you go to the store for a mirror, you need to understand a few points for yourself:

• for which room the accessory is chosen;
• whether it will often be carried from place to place;
• whether there will be a need to take it with you;
• whether the mirror will be used not only for applying makeup, but also for shaving, plucking eyebrows, removing acne from the skin and other cosmetic tasks;
• is there a priority in choosing a specific manufacturer.

Having answered these questions to yourself, you can go behind the mirror. First of all, you need to pay attention to the coverage. The most durable and clear is silver. Titanium alloy is in second place in terms of quality. Titanium can give an image a gray or blue tint.

The mirror frame should be moisture resistant, washable, durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Mounts must be secure, move smoothly (if hinges are available), have a large range of movement.

If you choose a bathroom mirror, it should be equipped with waterproof bulbs and double wires.

Before buying, ask the seller for a quality certificate and a warranty card for the product.
