With any makeup look that you try, one tool that is an absolute must is a mirror. Well, you need to be able to see your face to ensure you’ve applied your makeup correctly. Be it a simple kajal application on your eyes or a full-fledged face makeup, what you need is a mirror to ensure there are no mistakes. And when it comes to makeup application, a magnifying or concave mirror is best. It allows you to zoom in on your face to achieve a more detailed look . At SSBeauty, our objective is not only to provide you with premium quality products at competitive prices but also to make you learn enough to make the right choices while shopping for cosmetics.
If you look for mirrors online, you’re sure to come across many products. We help simplify the benefits, uses, types and ways of using a mirror.

Benefits of a Makeup Mirror

A makeup mirror helps you to see each individual pore perfectly or slay that winged eyeliner. Unlike standard mirrors, a magnifying mirror enables you to see every inch of your face clearly. Your makeup will look neat and flawless, and you’ll be able to correct any imperfections quickly and easily. A magnifying mirror is also an excellent solution for shaving or tweezing your eyebrows. Zooming enables us to see any single hair or eyelash and get perfect results. Makeup mirrors with lights allow you to view extreme close-ups with perfect clarity.

Types of Mirrors

Makeup mirror surfaces can vary in shape and size as well as magnifying or stationary. Here are some common variants of makeup mirrors:

1. Handheld mirror - A handheld mirror is used to check the makeup from different parts of the face. To use a handheld mirror, hold the bottom part of the mirror and angle the elbow where the face can be seen in the mirror. A handheld mirror is used to reapply makeup products to parts of the face, like blush or powder, when on the go. Known for being small and easy to carry, handheld mirrors are a good choice for people who travel a lot. You can get ones that are small and light and can be carried in small bags when traveling.
2. Stationary mirror - A vanity mirror is another name for a stationary mirror. Stationary mirrors usually have adjustable stands and may also have movable or swivel functions to assist in the application of cosmetics to the face. To use stationary mirrors, start by placing the mirror in front of the face to get a good view of the face when applying a full coverage of makeup.
3. Accessory mirror – An accessory mirror, also known as compact cosmetic mirror, is typically a compact round metal case that is used to touch up makeup on one's face whenever needed. You need to hold the bottom of the mirror and angle it in a way that it shows the reflection of whichever section of the face you’re applying or reapplying cosmetics to. You can use this mirror to apply loose face powder, blush, and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions on Mirrors

• Which type of mirror is best for makeup?

When it comes to applying makeup, a magnifying or concave mirror is best suited. That is because it gives you the option to zoom in on your face when applying makeup to achieve a more detailed and flawless makeup look.

• What is the difference between backlit and lighted mirrors?

The primary difference between a backlit and a standard LED mirror is the position of the bulbs/lighting source. While backlit mirrors have their bulbs mounted towards the back of the mirror, with the light shining through carefully etched shapes in the glass, an LED mirror typically has the bulb placed either on top of or beneath the surface of the glass.

• Are LED makeup mirrors worth it?

For all makeup enthusiasts, the simple answer is yes. LED lights work well because they give you a more natural reflection of your face, without making it look washed out. You’ll notice that most lighted makeup mirrors available in the market use LED lights.
