The 10X magnifying mirror lets you see the tiniest details to line your lips, apply eye makeup, tweeze eyebrows, insert contacts and all other close-up facial grooming. The regular mirror provides a clear true image. To focus the magnifying mirror, bring it to within 2 inches of your eye. Slowly move the mirror away from your eye until it clearly focuses. This is a great travel and compact mirror. Color is black with chrome trim. The soft travel pouch is plush and quilted.
