Mirror mirror discord. These items differ depending on where they should be located. It can be a wall accessory with light. Universal - and you can hang on the wall, and put in front of you. It is also convenient to take on the road.

But such instances are expensive, so many women prefer to put a special table mirror on the table in the room. This item is clearly fixed in place or has a mobile stand.

Use it mainly for makeup. The cosmetic mirror is often equipped with a function of zooming and rotating, making it convenient to paint, immediately noticing all the flaws of the make-up.

Illumination is an important part of using a mirror, especially if its main function is to make it convenient for the hostess to apply makeup. To solve the problem of lighting can be cheap and angry, setting the lamp next to it on the table. Sometimes for the dressing table arrange special lighting. But using an accessory with light bulbs that are built directly into the mirror itself is much more convenient.

For illumination different sources of light are used:

• Incandescent lamps. They are supplied with cheap mirrors. These sources of illumination are not particularly reliable, and recently this kind of illumination is losing its popularity.
• Halogen. They will last about ten times longer than incandescent bulbs. They can be used in conditions of high humidity, for example, in the bathroom.

• Fluorescent. The light of these lamps is similar to daylight. But from such lighting eyes quickly tired, as it is accompanied by flicker.
• LED (LED). Today it is the most reliable source of light in the mirrors. It is not by chance that such items with LED illumination are the most common. These lamps serve for a long time, provide high-quality lighting and look beautiful.

The shape of the mirror can be round, square or, for example, diamond-shaped, with a large or small. There are accessories on the leg, or attached to the wall near the table in any convenient place.Many women can not imagine a desktop copy without a magnifying effect.

The set with a mirror, in addition to the device itself, can include lamps, for small and portable models - batteries. Mandatory additions are often the bracket and cover.

The choice of a tabletop accessory depends on how you intend to use it. For this, a number of conclusions should be drawn for yourself in advance:

• will it be transferred from room to room or will it occupy a completely specific place in the house;
• will travel with you;
• Will it be used only for applying makeup, or will it have to be used when plucking eyebrows, when cleaning skin, shaving, and so on.

On the market there are mirrors made with the use of wood, aluminum, chromed steel, ivory, silver and gold. There is always a choice: to prefer a modest mirror or an expensive, rich-looking specimen. You can choose a model with amalgam, silver, titanium, aluminum and copper plating.
