I’ve got to the age & stage in life where it’s become impossible to shape my own eyebrows because I can’t see up close without glasses… and I can’t pluck my eyebrows while wearing glasses. I’ve never been one for visiting a beauty salon, but every so often, when I think I’m beginning to look like one of the Gallagher brothers, I go and get my eyebrows threaded.
I can still just about put makeup on, but using the mirror in the bathroom cabinet no longer cuts it – unless I’m happy to leave the house looking like Aunt Sally! An illuminated, magnifying mirror is the best solution. And Justin could use it for shaving, his eyesight is getting almost as bad as mine.
Of the following three make up mirrors, I’d choose the cheapest option. A mirror for almost £500? I’d have to gaze at myself for hours on end to get my money’s worth!
- BEURER BS55 LED illuminated cosmetics mirror: £39.99
- simplehuman 5x magnifying sensor mirror: £169.99, simplehuman
- Sitia makeup mirror: £469.99, Wayfair
