Abstract
Abstract Applying facial make-up, especially to the eyes, is difficult for those who wear prescription lenses. Optical aids are available but are generally inconvenient to carry and use due to their size and limited adjustability. A compact, optical apparatus is provided which may be easily carried in a purse, or the like, and is adjustable for use with an associated mirror.
