I have a magnifying mirror. It is a must for perfect eyebrow tweezing and some tricky makeup application. But, how big is too big? As in, how much of a magnifier do you need?

I was at a display at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and looked into one of their (quite expensive) magnifying mirrors. It was a 15X mirror. What I saw - shocking!!!

I had hairs in places I never new. I could not believe the two small hairs that I had by my upper lip that I must have missed waxing. I really had some messy mascara marks under my eyes that were not noticeable in a standard mirror. And don’t get me started on my eyebrows - the eyebrows that I thought were finely tweezed. Ugh.

My dilemma. Do I buy one of these better magnifying mirrors to constantly scare myself and become obsessed with every little imperfection? Or move on and think that no one really sees me that close up, so who cares?
