Best lighting to do your makeup in?

I do mine in the bathroom, but I find I have to step back to see "the whole picture", then I get close up to do specific things. But I am not happy with the bathroom lighting, but it's the best I can do.

I wish MAC would change their lighting aswell, you do some nice makeup at home and then when you in to MAC and look in the mirror it looks terrible and your flaws are all visible. Also some of the more shimmery colours look totally different in their lighting.

Boots sell a Revlon makeup mirror which switches between day, office and evening lighting. I bought one at Christmas time. I'll try to find a link for you.

Which is why they are such a good makeup mirror. If you look good in that light you'll look amazing in regular light!
