Convex lens makes things look bigger and concave lens makes things look smaller!
A magnifying lens is convex i.e. it bulges outwards. A concave lens would make objects appear smaller.
Convex lens make objects look bigger, Concave makes it smaller and farther away
The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller. Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.
a peep hole, such as you'd find in the door of a hotel room, uses a concave lens to make the image of the person standing in the hallway appear smaller than they actually are.Glasses for nearsighted people.

Because of it's shape a concave lens bends or refracts light outward away from the center of the lens and towards its thicker edges. The light rays never cross or meet a focal point so the image never inverts. A concave lens makes objects appear smaller than they really are.
Make the light divere

Concave is thinner in the center than the edges and convex lens is thicker in the center than on the edges :)
Two uses of concave lenses are: 1. Used to make spectacles for people who cannot see short distance objects. 2. Used in peep hole to make the image of the person standing in the hallway appear smaller.
Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger
