Why Models Need a Lighted Makeup Mirror

By bobpardue

Have you ever applied makeup in a poorly lit area? Most of us have, with the end result being a make-up job that looks great indoors. However, when you go outdoors, you find massive flaws. 

Eyeliner  may be clumped, with your eye shadow so thick you look as though you’ve been punched in the eye, and lipstick coagulated in the corners of your mouth. Worse still, foundation is streaked, appearing like some kind of skin condition.

To avoid this hideous appearance, proper lighting when applying makeup is required.  A lighted make up mirror may be the answer. Standard bathroom lighting doesn’t distribute light evenly. Consequently, your make-up job only looks good in that light. With the lighted make up mirror comes the assurance that every make-up application is perfect, in any light.

A lighted make up mirror fulfills every woman’s dream. These mirrors are designed to show your face to best advantage in a variety of lighting. Lighted make up mirrors have settings for daylight, evening and office lighting, allowing you to show yourself to best advantage. The lighted make up mirror is a miracle indeed.

The principle is that light surrounding the face allows for the most flattering image of your face to be seen. With all the types of  lighted make up mirrors available, choosing can be hard. Most styles are similar, with a lighting unit surrounding the mirror. 

Some are giant vanity mirrors, while others are no bigger than a compact mirror. Some have a single lighting unit. Others have several single light bulbs. When choosing a lighted make up mirror, choose one that best suits your use.

Large round vanity mirrors are surrounded by either single light bulbs, or a continuous strip of light. The advantage of light bulb styles is that if one bulb burns out, it can be inexpensively replaced. If the entire lighting unit goes out, then it’s more expensive to fix. However, long lighting units put more light on you, making for a clearer view. Round or oval mirrors are usually intended for use by only one person at a time.

Smaller, compact disk sized mirrors are more practical for dual duty – for use at home or to carry in your purse. Although most smaller mirrors come with single lighting units, this is actually better, because you don’t risk being burned by the bulbs.

Massive square mirrors are usually used by more than one person at a time.  In this case, the light-bulb style is more popular, because the appearance is more attractive.

Compact lighted make-up mirrors are your best bet for away-from-home touch ups. Just like regular compact mirrors, except with lights, this mirror is battery operated. These are a good investment, if you’re willing to buy the batteries for it.

The batteries are the same kind as those used in hearing aids – smaller than a penny. This type of lighted make up mirror tends to be pricey, but offers convenience of size.
