With Concave, the ends are "bent" towards you, making your reflection look short and stubby.
With Convex, the ends are "bent" away from you making your reflection look tall and thinner
Christmas bulbs are convex. Make up mirrors are concave. reg. mirrors are plane
Some practical uses for concave and convex mirrors are in medical instruments, car mirrors, and telescopes.
there are three kinds of mirror 1) concave 2) convex 3) plane
concave mirrors are used as dental mirrors. this is because concave mirrors produce highly magnified images which is useful in obtaining larger view of teeth and gums.

convex mirror
Curved mirrors are mirrors that have a spherical side. example - concave and convex.
concave (bulges inward) convex (bulges outward)
convex mirrors are bent outward,hence can provide the full view of the traffic behind the car and are preferred to concave and plane ones
Yes convex and concave mirrors are also known as spherical mirrors. If mercury coating is made on the convex side of the spherical then mirror is known as concave mirror. If mercury coating is made on the concave side the convex portion would reflect the light fallen so it is named as convex mirror. Actual just a small part of the sphere is taken out and this would act as the spherical mirror.
