PERFECT MIRROR FOR APPLYING MAKEUP, JUST RIGHT MAGNIFICATION TO USE IF YOU WEAR GLASSES AND CAN'T SEE WELL WITHOUT THEM. THERE IS VERY LITTLE DISTORTION IN THE 8X SIDE, LOVE IT AND IS ATTRACTIVE HANGING ON THE WALL.  TRIED A FEW OTHERS AND MOST HAVE TOO MUCH DISTORTION ON THE MAGNIFICATION SIDE THIS ONE IS GREAT!.
