It magnifies your face. IN concave mirrors, the object in the mirror is larger than its actual size so therfore you use it to see if you have done a clean cut and to get those pesky hair follicles

What mirror is makeup mirror concave convex or plane mirror?
concave
Why concave mirror is used for makeup or shave?
In case of concave mirror as we keep our face in between its focal plane and the centre of the mirror we get an erect, magnified, virtual image. So finer details could be seen for performing make-up or shaving.
What are the differences between plane mirror and spherical mirror?
A plane mirror is flat, so your image is the same size as you. A spherical mirror is curved. If concave it can be used either to focus an image as in a reflecting telescope, or magnify as in a shaving/makeup mirror. If convex you get a smaller wide-angled image, as in a car's wing mirror

Which is correct plane mirror or plain mirror?
A plane mirror is a flat, as opposed to convex or concave, mirror.A plain mirror is just a ordinary mirror as used in a household. These are usually flat mirrors so they are also plane mirrors.Many households have small bathroom mirrors which magnify in this case they would be concave plain mirrors and not concave plane mirrors
How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?
the image in the concave mirror will be real and inverted
Under what condition does a concave mirror behaves as a plane mirror?
when the converging ray of light do not meet at a point, it moves parallelly then under this condition does concave mirror behaves as a plane mirrror.
What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?

Convex gives you the widest "field of view" (so someone does not have to be right behind you in order for you to see them).
What part of a reflecting telescope form the image?
a concave mirror and an angled plane mirror
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
What is the defition for plane flat mirror?
A plane flat mirror, as opposed to a concave or convex mirror, is flat and therefore has no focal point. Think of the mirror in your bathroom.
