@SilleeMee Where did you find 15X? I have never seen one, only 10X.


 

 

 

@panda1234 

The 15X I have is this one:

It's small (4 inches in diameter) and not made to see your entire face but good for spot checks. I like the suction cups on the back so I can attach it to a window or any other kind of mirror.

 

I found it on ebay for less.


Thank you @SilleeMee , going to order it now. Wish it was bigger but as you said good for spot checks.

I use one every day for my makeup.  It helps me from getting an eyelash on my eyes as well.

I love mine.  Mine lights up but I never plug it in. 

 

I want to see everything.  I'm to the point now where I have to use readers to post on here. 

 

So the magnification for makeup application is a must.  I dont think I could do eyeliner without it.   

 

Other than a few broken capillairies, I'm quite happy with what I see.

Same here.  Been using 10X for years and I didn't know they made 15X.

I bought one from Amazon for a few dollars that sticks to the larger mirror in my bathroom.  It had excellent reviews.  I always use it for makeup and to look carefully at my skin daily.  I also take my magnification mirror on vacation and, so far, haven't left it stuck to the hotel mirror either.

I bought one from Costco a couple of years ago.  Its a must when I apply my eyeshadows to make sure they are blended well and for tweezing my eyebrows.

Do you use one?  I put mine away for a while and recently took it back out.  Lordy, I shouldn’t have looked in it, 😆.  


@Snoopp

Oh I absolutely use a magnifying makeup mirror! I figure if I don't look put together in that mirror then theres no hope for me.

Yes. I use a 5x magnifying mirror every day. 10 is too much for me but 5 is just right.


@willdob3 

I also use a 5x. Plenty of magnification for me. Can’t imagine going stronger. Oh, the horror! 

 

@Snoopp 

Magnifying mirrors are both wonderful & horrible at the same time! They’re necessary for a few beauty tasks, but, yikes, the things you see with them. I try to remember that people aren’t seeing the “magnified me”. LOL!
