A lighted makeup mirror can be very useful for the woman or man who wants to look their best. They provide you with extra light to make shaving, applying makeup, tweezing, etc. easier and more efficient. You can see better for better application. The following is a look at the things to consider when choosing a lighted makeup mirror:
1. Battery or plug-in? In order for the mirror to be lit, it has to have a power source of some kind, and so the first question you want to ask yourself when choosing a lighted makeup mirror is if you want one that you plug in, or one that operates from a battery. There are pros and cons to both options. With a plug in makeup mirror, you do not have to ever worry about changing batteries, and it is simple to use, as most bathrooms have outlets. However, with a battery option, you get versatility and portability, and are not reliant on electricity.
2. Frame material: When selecting a lighted makeup mirror, consider the material that makes the frame. There are several different options available from stainless steel (which is a great option), to wood, plastic, and the like. Your lighted makeup mirror will likely be a fixture in your bathroom, so you will want it to go well with the style and décor, as well as be something that will last, look nice, and clean up easily. Most often, stainless steel is the best option.
3. Size: When choosing a lighted makeup mirror, consider the size. What will you be using it for most? If you are using it for shaving, for example, you won’t want a small mirror, as you will need to be able to see your whole face, but if you are using it for tweezing your eyebrows, a smaller mirror would suffice. Lighted makeup mirrors come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, so to get the right one, you want to consider your uses, and what would be best for you.
4. Wall mount of stand alone: The next factor to consider is whether you want a wall mount lighted mirror that has a fixed place in your bathroom, or one that stands alone and can be moved. There are again, pros and cons to both options. So, determine your uses, how much mobility you want, if you have a place in your bathroom or over a vanity that you would want to put a permanent fixture, etc.
5. Magnification: Lighted makeup mirrors light up, but they also can magnify, or have a side that magnifies if they are double sided. This can be a nice feature when doing things like treating acne, tweezing, and applying makeup. So, when choosing your lighted makeup mirror, determine if you want to have one that magnifies, and if so, what degree of magnification you want.
