Our eyes and brains compensate for a lot of things that cameras do not. White balance is a good one, where things indoor under warm lighting can look orange while things out in the sunlight can look blue.

I think perspective and distance correction with human faces is definitely one of those. So if you got the distance from the mirror correct, the effect might not jump out at you in person like it does with photos.
