What’s the difference between a hand mirror and a pocket mirror?

If you’re looking for convenient makeup tools for application and touch-ups, hand mirrors and pocket mirrors are a must-have, and there are a few differences between the two. Pocket mirrors are typically ultra-compact in size and can fit into your purse or cosmetic bag. A small pocket mirror could have a round or square shape, and it might fold in half with a magnified mirror on one side. If you want something for your bathroom or vanity, a hand mirror is a great choice. This larger mirror style has a slim handle so you can hold onto it with one hand while you apply makeup or style your hair. Handheld mirrors also tend to feature more intricate, unique designs.

How do you choose a hand or pocket mirror?

When it comes to selecting the perfect mirror, it mostly comes down to size. A charming little vintage pocket mirror looks chic in your handbag, and it’s easy to take with you when traveling or any time you’re on the go. Stash a pocket mirror in your glovebox, throw one in your purse, and leave one in your desk drawer, so you’ll always have a way to touch up your makeup. These mirrors are ideal for travel and everyday use whenever you’re not at home. If you want something a bit fancier for your bathroom, choose a beautiful vintage hand mirror adorned with intricate overlays or sleek metal for a glam effect. Look for an antique hand mirror with a hole in the handle so you can hang it on your wall and use it as decor. Whether you choose new or vintage handheld mirrors, this style is typically larger in size and helps you do your hair and makeup at a glance.

Where do you find vintage mirrors?

From a stunning antique pocket mirror for travel to an awe-inspiring Victorian hand mirror for your bathroom, explore independent Etsy shops to find a vast variety of styles. These mirrors come in a huge assortment of sizes, formats, and designs to suit your makeup and cosmetic prep needs. Not only do stylish mirrors make excellent makeup tools, but they also make wonderful gifts, too. Browse the shops on Etsy and use the filter feature to find the perfect mirror for you based on the color, type, estimated arrival date, and more.
