This makeup mirror is big, but it really does not put out much light. It also is not chargeable, which I thought it was - it has to be plugged in to work. I bought an attachable 30X smaller round mirror (about $7 at Walmart) to put on front of it to see up close (this mirror has no magnification). I didn't get the biggest one, I got (middle size) one that is larger than my laptop opened up, I do enjoy it, but had to get a larger vanity table for it it's so big . It stand upright nicely on it's "stand"; very steady. I think a teen would really love it! I am over 70. I would have loved it at age 16! Now, it is ...okay lol.
