A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
I remember this answer by remembering the word 'cave' as in 'concave'. The answer is Concave.
The make up mirror is a concave mirror. This is due to the fact that it forms an?erect?and a magnified image of the face.?
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.
Convex bulges outward (thicker in the center than the edge)Concave bulges inward (thinner in the center than the edge)Convex lenses magnify when you look through then, concave lenses make things look smaller.You can focus a distant object to a point with a convex lens (the image will be upside down).

Lenses may be planar, convex, or concave.
A concave mirror is used for makeup mirrors/shaving mirrors because it produces an image that is larger than the object.
the image will be Unreal. Concave mirrors form a real and inverted image where in tn convex mirrors the images are unreal.

Christmas bulbs are convex. Make up mirrors are concave. reg. mirrors are plane
A Shaving Mirror is slightly concave. Thus, it will magnify a smaller portion of the object over the entire face of the mirror.
You could make a Newtonian reflecting telescope with those parts.
they are called concave mirror ... mirrors whose center bulges out are called convex, and can reflect a wider view than a flat mirrored surface, but the objects are "larger than they appear", and also "closer than they appear." These are most often seen on right hand mirrors on vehicles, to help minimise blind spots. mirrors whose center is recessed are called concave (remember the term by thinking of a shallow cave.) Depending upon how close you are to the mirror's focal point, objects appear larger than they really are, or upside down. These are often seen in makeup mirrors so you get a clearer view of your face when shaving or applying makeup. Combinations of both convex and concave mirrors are seen in funhouses of amusement parks, to make the viewer look skinnier and taller, shorter and fatter, or even upside down.
