I am a makeup lover and have tried many different mirrors.  When I received the conair mirror, the first thing I thought was that it was very heavy.  I put it on the makeup table and started doing my makeup.  I was very pleased to see that it was very bright and easy to work with. Thanks to the small magnifying mirror, I was able to pluck my eyebrows really well.  The mirror stands steadily on my desk.  So it's good that it's heavy and doesn't move.  For comparison, I took photos of the brightness of the makeup table and conair.  I even recommended this product to my friends. Thank you and I am very glad that I have this mirror.  Now my makeup looks much better than before.
