I don’t think that it’s an exaggeration to say that a good solid lighted cosmetic mirror may just be the most important tool in every woman’s bathroom or dressing room. Whether you’re trying to get the perfect makeup application, or just trying to find those pesky stray eyebrow hairs, we all want to look our best all the time.
Finding the right one to fit your specific needs isn’t all that difficult, as long as you know a few things before hand. You need a mirror with quality features like the ability to work distortion free and have the right magnification as well as the right light settings that will simulate regular daylight, or whatever kind of light that you want to simulate!
That’s why I thought it was important to make this website, to make sure you get the exact right mirror to fit your needs. I think when you’re done here you’ll know everything you need to know about the subject! I’m going to discuss several different brands including Conair, Jerdon, and Revlon and others. I’m also going to talk about different kinds such as wall mounted, travel mirrors, magnifying mirrors, fogless, shower mirrors, and many more.
I’m also going to spend a fairly decent amount of time talking about price ranges. In my opinion no amount of money is too much to look your best… but at the same time I hate to over spend on anything! I’ll review several brands and their prices so you know exactly what you should be paying for the right mirror to fit your budget.
First let’s talk for a minute about magnification because this is very important. 5X is sort of the standard when it comes to magnification. These sorts of mirrors usually have two sides and you can change between the two sides using a swivel type hinge quite easily. While the average magnification is 5X, like I said, you can get a range all the way from 3X up to 8X in certain circumstances. For the most part this is going to be a matter of personal preference. Some people like more magnification and some people like less; you may have to experiment before you find the right level for you.
What lighting is best for you? The experts almost all agree that natural light is the best light to use, of course… we hardly ever have natural sunlight! But don’t worry because your mirror will probably try to mimic natural light and will probably succeed to a fairly high amount of detail. A really good mirror will offer both daylight and night time settings for you to choose from. If you really want to go all out and spend some extra money and you can even find a mirror that offers both home and office lighting settings that attempt to mimic the lighting in your home and the lighting in your office!
I will be talking about prices in much greater detail throughout the website, but I wanted to touch on them briefly right now just to give you a loose range that you can expect to find. When it comes to these things you really get what you pay for and the price ranges are appropriate. At the very low-end you can expect to pay anywhere from $15-$20. The absolute higher range can run up to $200 quite easily and there are almost infinite mirrors within that range of $20-$200. You can find a serviceable mirror for between $30 and $50 and you can get a pretty good one for around $100… it just depends on what you’re looking for.
Choosing the right lighted cosmetic mirror to fit your exact needs doesn’t have to be that hard even though it is a very important decision to make since you will use it every single day of your life. Browse around the rest of the site for helpful hints and reviews of certain brands and I hope you find the makeup mirror that’s right for you!
