Anyone notice how your reflection differs from mirror to mirror? Like some make you look more built or defined than you really are, and some make you look like 10-20 pounds less... am I crazy or does anyone else notice this? I mean I realize lighting makes a difference, but if you put two different mirrors in the same setting, this still holds true!

maybe because the mirror or silver backing aren't all exactly straight or perfect, causing light to bend at different angles, causing you to see things differently from mirror to mirror?

The mirror at the _____ where I get my hair cut makes my head look smashed down. Didn't know what exactly to call it, put your own word in there.

Are you sure its not the 'lighting effect'?
