When you get up in the morning, and go look in the mirror, you quickly realize that your hair needs to be brushed and your face washed. When a woman sees herself in a mirror, she decides to put on her makeup.  If you were to look into a mirror and notice food stuck in your teeth, you would immediately start trying to clean it out. Mirrors are wonderful tools, because they help us see ourselves. They help us see what we look like to other people.
