How it works
Mirror Mirror is a school. Seven tracks, forty-two lessons, six whole looks, taught on your face, with your products, keeping your progress. In that order, because that is the order that works.
One
Your face
The school starts on your face, not on a face in a video. Before your first lesson the mirror reads your eye shape, your face shape, your brows and your lips, and shows you what it found so you can correct it. Declared beats measured, always.
From then on a lesson is drawn where your eye actually is. A wing on a hooded eye is not the same line as a wing on an almond eye, and the guide knows the difference. You look at yourself in the camera and the line for the step you are on appears on your own reflection.
Two
Your products
Then it teaches with what is on your shelf. You photograph your bag once and the school reads it into a list, with the date you opened each thing, so it knows how old your mascara is and what you have to work with.
Lessons name your products. Not products you would have to go and buy. There is no shop here, no link out to one, and anything you want to buy goes on a wait list for thirty days first, because most of the time you already own something that does it.
Three
Your progress
And it keeps what you did. Every step you finish counts, every finished lesson counts more, and a whole look counts most. Seven levels, each one opening something real: more slots on your mirror, adjust mode, the selfie timer, your own looks.
A jewel for each liner lesson, a brooch for finishing a track, a stamp on the look you saved in your album, and a light on your vanity that dims while you are away and never goes out.
The teacher is an AI
It is not a person writing back and it is not a video of anyone. It reads the lesson, what the mirror measured about your face and the school's own notes, then answers in the caption on the glass. Every caption says it is an AI, because you should never have to work that out for yourself.
It answers about the step in front of you. It does not diagnose skin, it does not tell you what to buy, and it does not have an opinion about how you look.
What it is given is written down in full on the privacy page.
Questions
No. It draws a guide on your own face, live. You watch yourself in the camera and a line appears where the step wants it. Nothing is painted on, nothing is smoothed, and you are never shown a face that is not yours.
No. You photograph the products you already own and the school teaches with those. Where a lesson asks for something you do not have, it tells you what to do instead.
No. Every lesson is open, to everyone. There is no paid tier, no shop, and no product is named here because somebody paid for it to be named.
Nowhere. They are read on your device, frame by frame, and they are not uploaded and not kept. When you ask the teacher a question, what the mirror measured about your eyes goes with the question, not the picture. A picture leaves your phone only when you take one, and it goes to your own album.
Yes. Every track, every lesson and every whole look is open to read, in full, with the steps. Signing in is for the mirror, your bag, your album and your progress.
It finds your eyes, brows and lips in the camera and draws the guide for the step you are on, in the right place on your face. You keep looking at yourself and follow the line. Corrections you make are remembered.
An AI teacher. It reads the lesson you are in, what the mirror measured about your face, and the school's own written notes, then answers in the caption on the glass. Every caption says it is an AI.
Yes. Out loud, or typed if you would rather not talk. It answers about the step in front of you.
Only the ones you take on purpose, into your album. They sit behind links that only your account can open, they are never shown to anyone else, they are never used to train anything, and they go when your account goes.
The mirror reads your shape first and you correct it if it is wrong. Every liner lesson is written for six eye shapes, and the guide moves to where your eye actually is.
A phone front camera near a window is enough. There is a vanity light in the mirror for when the room is dark.
Foundations is eight lessons in order for someone who has done none of this. It starts at washing your face and it does not assume you own a brush.
Between three and twelve minutes. A whole look runs from ten minutes to forty-five.
That is what the Bring a tutorial page is for. The school is not reading tutorials right now, and that page says what it will do when it is.
No. Nothing here is a diagnosis and nothing is a correction. Your shape decides where a line sits. That is all it decides.
Everything stays. Your levels, your jewels and your album do not move. The light on your vanity dims a little for each day you miss, and it never goes out.
Where to start
Foundations is the first of the seven tracks and it is written in order. If none of this is new to you, the school is open at every page.
