great size nice and bright [SEP] this is a really nice lighted mirrored compact so many times the lights are not bright enough to do you much good there is only a single regular mirror and or the size is just too small to give you a proper look not so with this compact you get two mirrors for the price of one a regular mirror and one with a higher magnification for those times when you need a closer inspection the light has a lovely and very helpful color temperature that is pretty close to daylight just a bit warmer and is featured around both mirrors it is operated by a switch on the bottom so you are not wasting your batteries it runs off of two coin batteries the mirror is larger than most i have larger than average hands for a woman and this compact is bigger than my palm it is a great size for quick once overs and more detailed makeup application i even prefer using it over my bathroom mirror for doing my eyebrows
