So far this is my wife and 18 year old daughters favorite make up light. It is rechargeable and uses a regular phone charger to charge it. It charged up extremely fast and then once charged you can take it anywhere. They used it on the bed since they dont have a actual make up station. It amplified so it literally shows every missed spot or eye brow out of place. They especially loved it because it made it alot easier to tweeze their eyebrows of them extra out of place hairs. It has a led light on it that you can dim down just by holding the power button. It has a swivel on the back making it easier to move around so no matter what height you are you will see clear. Its easy to clean the mirror part of excess makeup and all. I've even used it to clean up my facial hair and make sure I got all the extra hair from my face. It works great for both women and men so its definitely something to look into.
