One for the ladies... (And maybe some men?)

Getting a dressing table for someone as a Christmas present and a mirror.

Now, being a bald headed man who does not often wear makeup, this next conundrum has me puzzled and as anyone knows, if you do not know the answer, post in GD.

Is a single large mirror infront of you OK OR is one of those triple hinged mirrors more optimum for when applying makeup, doing hair etc?

Thanks.

What? I thought men only wore makeup for TV oh and pantomimes.

Am starting to believe no mirror can big enough for a female

Only a few weeks ago had even my 8 year old niece complaining her over 3 feet high mirror in her room is not big enough ..

Quadruple mirror and make sure you get a certificate of authenticity to show other men how obedient you are.

Just make sure it comes with a 'skinny' mirror and not a 'fat' mirror.

You need one with lights around the edges.

My misses has one of the fancy magnifying mirrors with lights round the edge, apparently that's good?

Everything is better when its triple.

I've had both types of mirror and don't find I use the one with three bits any differently - go for the style you prefer.

Triple and a 'daylight' lamp or lights. Need to be able to see your makeup in natural daylight where ever possible, if you cant then the right light is the next best thing. Oh and lit from the front/in front of your face

Unless you want them to walk around with unblended foundation and bright pink cheeks! :eek:

Ooh, good advice. Thanks.
