A mirror for viewing the face at different magnifications selectable by the user includes a first, oval primary mirror comprised of a front mirror plate having a first magnification and a rear mirror plate concavely curved to provide a second, greater magnification, the front and rear primary mirror plates being held in a back-to-back arrangement within a bezel ring. The ring is pivotably supported within a yoke attached to the upper end of a stanchion which protrudes upwardly from a base, allowing the primary mirror to be pivoted about a horizontally disposed minor axis of the primary mirror, or about a vertical axis through the stanchion, thus presenting either the front or rear reflecting surface to a person located in front of the mirror. A circular secondary mirror having front and rear concave mirror plates providing third and fourth magnifications is pivotably mounted within an aperture centered on a major axis of the primary mirror, but offset from a minor axis which coincides with a horizontal pivot axis of the primary mirror, allowing the primary mirror to be pivoted to position the secondary mirror above or below the horizontally disposed pivot axis/minor axis of the primary mirror, to view upper or lower portions of the face in the secondary mirror. Also, the secondary mirror may be pivoted to present either its first or second reflecting surface at either upper or lower position of the primary mirror. In an alternate embodiment, a secondary mirror is slidably held within a bezel ring from a concealed position between front and rear primary mirror plates to a radially outwardly protruding use position, or rotatably mounted to the bezel ring.
