Grooming is an essential task that both men and women ought to do regardless of the occasion at hand. Whether you are going for an official meeting, dinner, or perhaps a business idea pitch, you’ll need to look your best.
It can happen to the best of us. You’re applying your make up in the mirror and everything looks flawless – or so you think. Just after you jump in the car to head off to dinner with friends, you pull down sun visor for one last look in the mirror. Much to your dismay, you see that your foundation is uneven and your eye shadow just isn’t quite the color you thought it was. Most likely, these are all symptoms of poor makeup mirror lighting. When it comes to applying makeup, there are a few lighting factors you should always consider.
Use natural light whenever possible. Natural light is the cheapest and easiest way to get the best lighting for makeup application. If you can, place your vanity stand or mirror close to a window that will allow plenty of natural light to give your face an even, pure wash of illumination. Even though natural light is one of the most unforgiving forms of light in terms of being able to see every imperfection, at least you will know exactly what you’re trying to detract from or enhance.Even when the room is dark, you can go ahead and groom yourself thanks to the LED lights which are adjustable through a touch button and adjust the brightness of the LEDs by long pressing the touch sensor.
Look for lighting with a high color rendering index (CRI). How you perceive different colors is extremely important when it comes to makeup. A foundation color may look like it matches your skin tone under a certain light, but if that lighting has a low CRI, you may realize that it doesn’t match at all once you step out into the daylight. If you normally apply your makeup in the bathroom, make sure your vanity lighting has a high CRI so that you’re able to see the true color of your foundations, eye shadows, etc. As a general rule, try to keep your lighting’s CRI above 80. For lighting with a perfect CRI of 100, you will want to go with incandescent bulbs to light your vanity.
