Cosmetic mirror guide: A practical guide for buying a cosmetic mirror

What is a cosmetic mirror for?

A high-quality cosmetic mirror is a versatile bathroom accessory that should not be missing in any bathroom. A cosmetic mirror is a worthwhile investment:

• Detailed representation for precise cosmetic and skincare applications: With a cosmetic mirror, you can see fine details more clearly and perform precise makeup applications, thereby improving your skincare.

• Better visual comfort when applying makeup or shaving: A cosmetic mirror provides an enlarged and well-lit view, so you don't miss any small details when applying makeup or shaving.

• A design element that contributes to the overall look of the bathroom: A high-quality cosmetic mirror is also an aesthetic element that enhances the overall look of the bathroom.

What types of cosmetic mirrors are there?

There are different types of cosmetic mirrors that can meet different needs and preferences:

Wall mirrors: Wall mirrors save space and are ideal for smaller bathrooms. They offer various mounting options and allow variable positioning and height adjustment thanks to adjustable joints.

Standing mirrors: Standing mirrors are mobile and can be placed flexibly. They are often equipped with rotatable mirror surfaces, so you have different magnifications in one mirror.

What magnifications are available?

The magnification of a cosmetic mirror plays an important role in seeing small details more clearly. Here are some common magnifications and their uses:

• 3x magnification: This is ideal for everyday beauty care and makeup applications such as applying makeup and shaving.

• 5x magnification: A 5x magnification offers high detail accuracy for precise makeup and skincare applications such as applying makeup, shaving, plucking eyebrows, removing facial hair, and cosmetic treatments

• 7x magnification: A cosmetic mirror with 7x magnification offers an even more detailed view and is especially suitable for specialized beauty applications such as applying makeup, shaving, plucking eyebrows, removing facial hair, cosmetic treatments, and removing skin impurities.

It is important to note that on the internet, large magnifications of 7-10x are often preferred, while in our store the 5x mirror is frequently sold. This is because the misconception "the more, the better" is assumed, which does not apply to high-quality mirrors like those from Decor Walther and Windisch. Here, the magnification is completely sufficient for any application. The disadvantage of too large magnifications is that you have to get very close to the mirror and often part of the face is "cut off". 

Illuminated or non-illuminated cosmetic mirror?

Another important feature of cosmetic mirrors is the lighting. 

Illuminated cosmetic mirror:  An illuminated cosmetic mirror offers the advantage of optimal lighting, which makes applying makeup, shaving, or caring easier. The integrated lighting provides even and bright illumination of the face, making the smallest details more visible. This is especially advantageous in rooms with insufficient daylight or when getting ready in the early morning or late evening hours.

Battery or power connection? A battery-operated cosmetic mirror offers independence and mobility, while a mirror with a power connection ensures constant and reliable brightness. A battery-operated cosmetic mirror lasts several weeks per charge depending on frequency of use.

• Before deciding on an illuminated cosmetic mirror with a fixed power connection, some essential aspects must be considered. First and foremost, it is important to ensure that a suitable power connection is available near the mirror. To ensure a safe and proper installation, it is advisable to hire an electrician. This guarantees professional implementation. 
• In rental apartments, it is especially important to obtain your landlord's permission before making changes to the electrical system and bathroom fixtures. Some landlords may have specific guidelines or restrictions regarding such installations.

Why choose a high-quality mirror?

There are good reasons to invest in a high-quality cosmetic mirror:

High-quality materials: High-quality mirrors offer a long service life and if something should break, a constant supply of spare parts. They give the bathroom a luxurious feel and a high-quality look.

High-quality surfaces matching the bathroom design: There are various styles and surfaces to choose from that perfectly match the design of your bathroom. Cosmetic mirrors in Gold, Black Matte, White Matte, stainless steel, and many other mirrors, matching your unique bathroom equipment.  

Great gift: Cosmetic mirror as a gift

A cosmetic mirror is a unique and practical gift that is used daily: A high-quality cosmetic mirror offers a luxurious experience and beautifies everyday life when applying makeup, shaving, and caring for yourself. This is sure to bring joy.
