How close do you need to sit to this mirror to see your face without distortion? I want to be able to see my full portrait (face and hair).

This mirror is amazing and no matter how close you get there is no distortion. It is not like the other magnified mirrors on the market. It has a sensor on top so goes on and off automatically. I love mine!

I love the mirror for my face. It is difficult to see your hair when you are using it and does cause distortion easily.

You have to sit close. This is the best mirror I have ever owned. I actually bought one for my daughter and one for my summer home. Worth every penny.. Your makeup comes out amazing. I do not use it for my hair.

Not fully sure about the question. Anyways, as this is tied to the side, I have my front helmet light on the middle/top - and my helmet rear light - without interference whatsoever from the mirror. The mirror is perfect to me as it shows "real distance" to veihicles from behind. Once you find your way and position that matches you, it becomes a natural part of riding on roads without specific bike paths.

My mirror has no distortion. My main use is for brow shaping and it works great. Due to the magnification sometimes my eyes need to focus but once they do the reflection is perfectly clear.

The answer (seems to me) to be completely one of personal choice and physical set up in the area where you're going to use the mirror. While it swivels and extends/contracts easily the fitment of parts are tight and will stay where you position it. I've actually got mine on the wall behind where I sit and use it for rear view of my head - or - I turn to use it up close.

Emily, I urge you to please invest in another mirror . It had arrived cracked,and I was alright with that because it was in the corner. Then the whole mirror stand started getting loose and the mirror section began spinning and would not stay in place. I asked my husband to try tighten it, but he couldn't find any adjustment apparatus. Long story short....I'm looking for a new mirror. I sincerely wish I could've answered your question..

There is absolutely no distortion, and the whole mirror is magnified. I love this mirror and use it everyday to put on my make-up. Without it, I'm certain I'd look like a clown. I wish I could get an even stronger x, as my eye sight is getting worse and I need to wear cheaters to increase this magnification. This is one my my best purchases.

It is large very mirror. I can't answer it completely because I returned mine....the mirror is terrible! It's distorted, and I found it to be a piece of junk.

Yes, Dilann you can see your neck with this mirror. I use it for the same hairs on my chin and neck. I hope this helps.

Mirror just clips on....takes just a few seconds. Takes a little longer to adjust the mirror so it gives you the view you want. If the mirror is centered, you will see too much of your own head, so it works best on viewing from the right side.

I do not notice any visual distortion, although if objects have different focal lengths, there will be a natural distortion. The concavity of the mirror does an excellent job of compensating. Re: Large-since that is a subjective, I really cannot comment. I can only state that I can see my entire well lighted face and more flaws than I care to comment on :)

Unfortunately I can't see myself when I'm wearing the mask, but I think the pictured model's face is small. It does need to extend beyond your eyebrows and cheeks in order to block out light.

Hi! Did you removed the DEMO tab from the back of the mirror? There is a DEMO tab that must be removed to enable the mirror to operate on normal mode.

I believe all magnification gives some natural distortion and this one will at 15x. Overall, I love this 15x mirror because it gives a clear reflection once you are able to find the correct focal point. It took me a little practice to know what distance to look and it's clear. The challenge I have is my eye sight and I need to get closer with good lighting. Hope this helps.

The magnification is enormous, it's amazing for details like eye makeup, the illumination is perfect. As it is just 5" wide, you can't get full face view. For a full face mirror get the 8" one. The Simplehuman mirror's technology is really good!

This is not my experience. My mirror is fabulous. I see no distortion on the "sides". Granted, with 15x magnification, you cannot look at the mirror from a distance. You have to be up close. I bought two of these mirrors. One for my Mother and one for myself. No regrets...would most definitely buy it again.

I am 5'3" and when sitting on the stool that comes with the vanity I can still see about a foot above my head, though I never use that mirror, I use a magnifying one I keep on the vanity.
