Beurer BS 55 illuminated make-up mirror, 7x magnification, 18 LEDs
Product description
For applying make-up in a bathroom with little daylight, the Beurer BS 55 brings its own LED lighting and a choice of regular or magnified views. The mirror turns to switch between the two sides, so you can use the view that suits the task.
Its touch sensor operates the light, which is dimmable to help adjust the brightness. The mirror surface is 13 cm in diameter, and the unit is designed to stand on a flat surface.
Powered by batteries, it comes with four 1.5 V AAA batteries and switches off automatically after 15 minutes. That makes it straightforward to use at home or take along when needed.
Worth noting
The main distinction is the 7x magnification on one side, the other gives a regular view. That pairing is useful for alternating between close detail and a less enlarged reflection, rather than relying on a single magnification level. The 18 LEDs and adjustable brightness are intended to help when natural light is limited.
The mirror pivots, and its tilt can be adjusted for the viewing angle. It has a chrome finish and a metal frame, with a base intended to keep it seated on a flat surface. The listed dimensions are 20.5 x 31.5 x 13.4 cm, so it is worth considering the available space on a dresser or bathroom surface.
Tips for day-to-day use
Use the touch sensor to switch on the light, then adjust its brightness for the task. The automatic shut-off after 15 minutes is a practical detail if the light is left on unintentionally. As the mirror runs on AAA batteries, it does not need to be connected to a power cable during use, four 1.5 V AAA batteries are included.
Keep the batteries out of reach of children, as stated in the product safety information. The mirror is intended for a flat surface, so place it on a steady dresser or bathroom counter before rotating it or changing its angle.
Everyday use
For jobs such as shaping eyebrows, applying make-up or carrying out a closer facial-care routine, the magnified side brings small details into view. The regular side is there for checking the result at a more familiar scale. Would a simple, single-sided mirror offer the same flexibility? It would not provide both viewing options or built-in light, while a larger mirror may suit someone who wants a broader reflection.
Buyer comments are positive about how the mirror works, and some specifically appreciate the automatic shut-off. These are individual impressions rather than a measure of performance, but they do point to the practical features buyers notice in everyday use.
What to clarify
How does the magnification work? One side gives a regular view and the other provides 7x magnification, with the mirror surface measuring 13 cm in diameter.
Can the light be adjusted? Yes. The 18-LED light is dimmable and operated using a touch sensor.
What powers the mirror? It uses four 1.5 V AAA batteries, which are included, and switches off automatically after 15 minutes.
When it makes sense
It’s a good fit if you want a tabletop mirror for make-up or detailed facial care, especially where adjustable lighting and a magnified view are useful. The two-sided design also means you can switch back to a regular reflection without needing a separate mirror.
Not the best choice if you need a large mirror for a wide view: the reflecting surface is 13 cm in diameter. For close-up tasks in a compact format, though, the BS 55 combines lighting, two viewing options and battery operation in one unit.
