Size And Weight
Do you have an exclusive space for makeup or should you share it with other family members? Can you leave the mirror in the same place or should you move it? Do you need to lift it in your hands to put on makeup?
The ideal mirror should be light, in case you need to carry it or have it in your hands while using it. The size depends on your space conditions, but you should refrain from too small mirrors that do not allow you to have a more general plane of your face.
Fixed or portable
Fixed mirrors are wonderful, but not everyone has the ideal space to place them. If this is your case, look for a light one that you can carry.
The mirror should always have a table base or to adhere to the wall mirror, since you will need both hands to apply makeup.
Rotation
Rotation is important because your comfort depends on applying a certain type of makeup, in which you need to see yourself from different angles.
A mirror that can be placed almost horizontal makes it easier to apply false eyelashes and remove unwanted hair.
Number of Mirrors
There are mirrors that have three or more sections. This is particularly useful, as they usually come with different types of magnification and, depending on their location, can help you see your face from different angles while applying makeup.
Increases
The magnifications of a mirror range from 2x (not very useful for makeup) to 20x (a real exaggeration).
Everyone has their preferences, but the majority of professionals tend to prefer magnifications between 5x to 8x since they allow you to see details without distorting the image too much.
Lighting Type
Mirrors with incandescent lights offer too warm lighting, which can hide some details and imperfections. The ideal would be to have LED or fluorescent lighting.
One of the advantages of LED lights is that they provide cool white light that allows you to clearly see all the detail on your face.
Brightness Settings
Adjusting the brightness intensity is an interesting feature since it will allow you to simulate different lighting situations and you can work your makeup around this.
Although it is not an essential feature, it is ideal to adjust the light depending on your environment.
Feeding
There are mirrors that connect directly to the current but there are others that run on batteries.
I prefer they have a cable that goes to the current because I do not depend on the batteries but those who need to move their mirror or those who do not have a fixed space to put on makeup usually prefer the autonomy that batteries provide.
Design
There are round, square, three-body, or multiple sections. I prefer squares or rectangles, better if it has several sections that allow me to see myself from different angles, but I have friends who prefer round laptops.
The design will depend on the preferences, but also on the particular needs.
Price
A few years ago, makeup mirrors with lights were quite expensive, but now it is possible to get models with advanced features and a fairly decent price.
Even cheaply lit makeup mirrors can perform well. Prices depend on the brand, its characteristics, and where you buy them.
