Makeup Mirrors With Lights - The Must-Have Assistant

When you are putting on makeup, you would like to see everything clearly. You also want to see things as they will look in the light when you leave the house. Makeup mirrors with lights make this possible. Several mirrors will even allow you the choice of evening lighting in case you are getting ready for a night on the town. So whether your plans call for a candle light supper makeup mirror or an afternoon outside, you will have a real image of how others will see you.

And there are several additional things a lighted makeup mirror can do for you. It's uncomfortable to go out in public if you somehow happen to overlook a spot when putting on your blush or base. Makeup mirror lights help prevent that. And the chore becomes even easier when you get a mirror that includes magnification.

There are other decisions you will have to make before you select your mirror. The bulk of them have a swivel hinge, with a normal mirror on one side in addition to a magnified mirror on the other. 4X or 5X magnification is fairly normal, though you can get it as low as 1X or as high as 10X.

This is perhaps the hardest decision to make after you have decided you can no longer tweeze or apply makeup without a lighted mirror. Remember that while you apply makeup or tweeze, the glasses must come off. Also think about where you will be using the mirror. If you sit by a dressing table, how big does this mirror have to be in order to be adequately positioned? Does your mirror use batteries? If not you'll want to be certain there is an electrical outlet near the place you will be using it. If you're used to standing up when you apply makeup, you will need to have a mounted on a wall mirror.

You can even buy a fogless mirror if you will be using it in the shower. They are watertight, and even come with clocks and radios if you want. Suction cups will hold them on the shower walls and as expected, they use batteries to run. And, believe it or not, I know somebody that both tweezes and applies makeup in the shower. Her premise is that the cool mist prevents the makeup from caking and makes the hair pull out devoid of pain.

If you travel a lot or need to apply makeup at a moments notice, then you also need a travel mirror. They easily fit into your purse or overnight suitcase when folded and can be utilized everywhere because they are battery powered. A number of them turn the lights off immediately when you close them.

There are numerous styles, sizes and finishes to choose from if you are just looking for a regular vanity makeup mirror. It's simple to locate one that will match the decor of the room. Plastic frames come in all colors, and you might also select metals that range between period golds and brass, all of the way to the modern nickel and chrome.
