Hollywood-style vanity mirror or compact tabletop magnifier — which is better?

They solve different problems. Hollywood mirrors (FENCHILIN, Moonee, Hasipu) give you an even, full-face wash of light and a large reflection for overall looks; compact magnifiers (Conair, VESAUR 8.5") are for close-in detail work. Specialist subreddit threads we read frequently suggest owning both, or picking a Hollywood mirror with a detachable 10x spot mirror.
