The cosmetic mirror may be constructed to have a base mirror and side mirrors extending at angles from opposite sides of the base mirror. The side mirrors may be constructed to provide a reflective view of the eye when placed above the base mirror. The base mirror may also be constructed to provide a reflective view of the eye, and each mirror may be substantially flat. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cosmetic mirror comprising: a base mirror at a surface of a base panel having two long sides and two short sides; and a three-point reflection path between a first side mirror and a second side mirror at surfaces of a first side panel and a second side panel respectively, the first side panel and the second side panel affixed to opposing parallel edges of the two long sides of the base panel and the first side mirror and the second side mirror each positioned at an obtuse angle relative to the base mirror, wherein the first side mirror and the second side mirror have a greater than 1× magnification selected according to a width of the base panel and a radius of curvature oriented to provide a distance from the first side mirror and the second side mirror shorter than the focal length. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The cosmetic mirror of claim 1 wherein each of the first side mirror and the second side mirror is substantially flat. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The cosmetic mirror of claim 1 wherein an angle of each of the first side mirror and the second side mirror is equal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The cosmetic mirror of claim 1 wherein the first side mirror and the second side mirror produce a reflection of an object at a location corresponding to a first vertex of a rhombus between the first side mirror and the second side mirror. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The cosmetic mirror of claim 4 wherein the three-point reflection path includes the first vertex, a second vertex arranged to contact the first side mirror, and a third vertex arranged to contact the second side mirror. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The cosmetic mirror of claim 1 wherein the first side panel and the second side panel are affixed to opposing parallel edges of the two long sides of the base panel through a first hinge and a second hinge, respectively. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The cosmetic mirror of claim 6 wherein the first and second hinges move the first side panel and the second side panel relative to one another between a closed position and an open position at a selected angle. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The cosmetic mirror of claim 7 wherein the selected angle is the maximum open position of the first and second hinges. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The cosmetic mirror of claim 7 wherein each of the first and second hinges has a detent at the selected angle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The cosmetic mirror of claim 1 further comprising: a magnet or a clip attachable to a back surface of the base panel. ### Claim 11 A cosmetic mirror comprising: a three-point reflection path provided between first and second side mirrors at surfaces of a first and a second side panel respectively, each of the first and second side mirrors positioned at an obtuse angle relative to a base mirror at a surface of a base panel, the first and the second side panels joined to one another along corresponding edges through a linear hinge, wherein the first and second side mirrors have a greater than 1× magnification selected according to a width of the base panel and a radius of curvature oriented to provide a distance from the first and second side mirrors shorter than the focal length. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The cosmetic mirror of claim 11 wherein the linear hinge locks at a maximum angle to which the cosmetic mirror opens. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The cosmetic mirror of claim 11 further comprising: a detent which holds the linear hinge at a selected angle when the cosmetic mirror is open. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The cosmetic mirror of claim 11, wherein the three-point reflection path includes the first vertex, a second vertex arranged to contact the first side mirror, and a third vertex arranged to contact the second side mirror, and wherein the first and second side mirrors allow a user's eye to be placed at the first vertex of the three-point reflection path such that the user can see a reflection of the top of the user's eyelid by focusing on the first or second side mirror without moving his/her head. ### Claim 15 A cosmetic mirror comprising: a base panel having two long sides, two short sides and a mirrored surface; and a three-point reflection path between a first and a second side panel affixed to opposing parallel edges of the two long sides of the base panel, each of the first side panel and the second side panel having a mirrored surface positioned at an obtuse angle relative to the mirrored surface of the base panel, wherein the mirrored surfaces of the first side panel and the second side panel have a greater than 1× magnification selected according to a width of the base panel and a radius of curvature oriented to provide a distance from the mirrored surfaces of the first side panel and the second side panel shorter than the focal length. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The cosmetic mirror of claim 15 wherein the mirrored surfaces of the base panel and the first side panel and second side panel are substantially flat mirrors attached to the base panel and the first side panel and the second side panel, respectively. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The cosmetic mirror of claim 15 wherein the mirrored surfaces of the first side panel and the second side panel provide a reflection at which a user can view a top eyelid and a bottom eyelid of the user's eye without moving his/her head. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The cosmetic mirror of claim 15 wherein the mirrored surfaces of each of the first side panel and the second side panel produces a reflective image of an object at a location corresponding to a vertex of a rhombus between the mirrored surfaces of the first side panel and the second side panel having sides of a length corresponding to a distance between the first side panel and the second side panel. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The cosmetic mirror of claim 15 wherein the angle of the first side panel relative to the base panel is equal to the angle of the second side panel relative to the base panel. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The cosmetic mirror of claim 15 wherein the mirrored surface of the base panel is substantially flat.
