Lighting Design Dilemma Bathrooms

Make up mirror help.

7 years ago

I currently have a medicine cabinet with 3 lights and a make up mirror installed in the cabinet to pull

out when I am applying make up or tweezing eyebrows, I am afraid this will look awkward in my new bathroom. I need a lot of light because my eyes aren't what they used to be. What suggestions are out there or what makeup lighting is the best. I am not sure if one wall makeup mirror will shed enough light. Thanks.

Why not a free standing one on the counter . This one is cordless LED 2 sided magnifying from Wayfair.

I no longer stand when doing makeup. It's partly an age thing and frankly between using the Beauty Blenders, contouring sticks, air brushing, lip lining, false hair attachments and now false eye lashes, all in an effort to look completely natural, you've just got to sit down to get this stuff installed.

This week I received a device from Amazon which is supposed to zap by age spots and skin tags,......... so there is never enough mirror or light to do that right.

I could never find a mirror that was large enough to please me until now. Here are two from Amazon. I purchased the large one and it's huge at 16x20, but I can do my hair in it also. The LED lights generate no heat so these mirrors are so much better than the ones that have been around for years.
