Is the 10X side too strong for everyday makeup?

For full-face makeup, yes. Use the 1X side for overall checks and the 10X side for brows, lashes, pores and stray hairs.

Does it need batteries or a charger?

It runs on batteries, so there is no cable or charging. Keep spare cells on hand for travel.

It measures about 4.75 by 5.25 inches and 1.25 inches tall when folded, with a round glass surface.

It is a folding compact, not a stand mirror. It works best held in the hand or propped against something.

White, Black Shadow, Chocolate, Cinnamon Slate and French Blue, all with a plastic frame.

Yes. It folds flat, weighs 0.64 oz and has its own light, which makes it a practical bag mirror.
