The outer curved part is coated with Mercury as the inner would reflect light in case of concave mirror.
Whereas the inner is coated as to make the outer to act as reflector in case of convex mirror.
Concave mirror can give both real and virtual images for a real object depending on the location of object.
But convex on the other hand can give only virtual image with a real object irrespective of the position of the object.
Next, concave mirror can be used as shaving mirror. Also used to converge the parallel beam of light.
Convex mirror is best used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles.

What do you mean by convex mirror and concave mirror?
concave and convex refer to the curve of the mirror. if it is concave, it curves in at the middle, like a 'cave'. if it is convex, it curves out at the middle, like an eye. think of a spoon - one side is convex, the other is concave. this curve will affect the image the mirror shows.
