This is a very elegant makeup mirror. The lighting effect is beautiful especially in pictures and videos which gives this a dual use as a lighting tool. For makeup application the lighting is bright and the magnification is clear and large so you can truly see every detail for a precision application. It is wired which is the downside, as it makes it difficult to use in in certain spaces as the wire can be bulky. The mirror itself is tall, which makes a very elegant piece if you have the right space.
