hand mirror

Handheld vanity glass

A hand mirror is a small mirror with a handle, designed to be held in one hand while examining one's face or hair.

Unlike wall-mounted or standing mirrors, hand mirrors are portable: She checked her lipstick in a hand mirror.

They're standard equipment at hair salons and on vanity tables.
