So whether you're getting ready for a job interview or just picking up your dry-cleaning, a quick glance in your makeup mirror can quickly point out anything potentially embarrassing.

Lighting is typically available in makeup mirrors in one of the following styles:

  • Central, or spot-lighting, in which light stems from a central source or bulb.
  • Side or strip lighting, in which lights are placed vertically on one or both sides of a central mirror.
  • Surround, rim, or perimeter lighting, in which lighting is incorporated into the full perimeter of the mirror and lights up all the way around.
