This smart mirror isn't the fairest of them all

the simplehuman wide view sensor mirror is a Wi-Fi connected smart mirror that imitates light settings so you can put on makeup and PS it's four hundred dollars let's say you work in an office and want to make sure your makeup looks good for your nine-to-five you can take a selfie at your office with a simple human AB and the mirror will create a lighting scheme that imitates the life from that selfie we tested the simple human mirror as much as we could we took some readings of the mirrors lighting schemes such as daylight and florescent settings and the simple human imitates those situations pretty well we also spent plenty of time putting on our own makeup the lighting was great and it was easy to select settings inside the app but the mirror only magnifies one time that's just not enough for detail work but we're makeup amateurs and this is a product for the pros so we gave it to a makeup artist and a makeup enthusiast to get their take on this smart mirror bad lighting like if you do your makeup mad lighting you may as well not have done it I don't think women need to know anything about lighting to do their makeup I think they need to know about their makeup the lighting is really good um I wish it had a magnifier I think magnification is key I think it needs some magnification just for that detail work if this were my primary mirror I would still have to have a new larger one like stash in a drawer or a lot of counter space you know I do like is the little side mirrors only a kitchen you can see from the angles my only concern too is like doing your makeup for like fluorescent lighting for an office which is never flattering for anyone and then you walk out into the real world to go get your coffee in the morning get Starbucks it's not going to translate well 400 always even if I just had a lot of money laying around is a pretty steep price for admission I mean if you if you don't know how to like make sure your map your everything's blended there's no this is not going to do anything we all agree that this is a good mirror that does deliver the custom lighting at promises but for $400 this isn't a smart purchase for the casual makeup wearer or even the pros especially without good magnification
