Technically, any distortion in the shape or texture of a reflective medium (mirror, metal, water, etc.) will cause the resulting image to be somewhat inaccurate to its normal portrayal (as in, the human eye). Convex and concave are both going to distort your image. But I would think that if you were doing your make up and only had a spoon as your mirror, the concave side would allow you to be a bit more accurate in your application. It really depends of your distance from the spoon and the size of the spoon. If you get up really close (to either side), it will make your reflection more realistic than if you were farther away.
What else can I help you with?
Why is your image in a spoon is upside down if you look into into the bowl but erect if you look into the back?
What a nice question. These two different images illustrate the difference between a reflection from a concave and a convex surface. However, if you look in a concave beauty/shaving mirror, you'll still find the image erect. For you will be closer to the mirror than the length of its focus. Enlarged a little indeed.
Why are you upsidedown when you look into a spoon?
The spoon acts as a concave mirror at it's "loading surface". The idol of an object through a concave mirror which is further than the doubled focal length of it, is real, smaller and inverted (upside-down).
How are images formed on the concave side of a shiny spoon?
When light rays hit the concave side of a shiny spoon, they are reflected and converge to form an upright, virtual, and magnified image. This image appears behind the spoon's reflective surface, in the same orientation as the object being reflected.
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.
What type of mirror does a spoon has?
A spoon has a concave mirror shape due to its curved inner surface. This type of mirror can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the focal point.
Is the concave side of the spoon is what your actual structure look like when you hold right because it form a real image?
Yes
What is concave and convex?
The best example would be to take a metal spoon that is shiny. Look at the spoon so the curved part is facing away from you. The dip you can see is called Concave. The other side that protrudes is called Convex. When you look at the concave side your face will appear squashed, wider at the top and bottom but very narrow in the middle. When you look at the convex side, your face will appear wide and fatter, almost like a football. This is because of the light rays reflective at a different angle.

Why image on spoon one side is inverted and other side is erect?
because one side is concave and the other is convex

Why is the reflection of an object inverted in concave mirrors?
Concave mirrors are bent in a way that makes you look upside-down. Convex mirrors, on the other hand, are bent in the opposite direction to make you look bigger. If you have a clean and dry spoon, you can look at your face on either side of the spoon, and you'll see your face either upside-down or enlargened. The bending of concave mirrors cause light to bounce in opposite directions when light hit the mirror, so every particle of you and your surroundings would be the opposite of what it really is.

Would a small spoon reflection from the concave side show your actual structure because it show a real image?
Of course not, It shows your external appearance not structure, and the image may be "real" in optical terms but is heavily distorted by the shape of the spoon. They give you lot some peculiar homework questions! :-)
What is the meaning of concave side?
The concave side refers to the side of a curve that is curved inward or "caved in." It is the side that appears to be creating a hollow or depression in the surface. In geometry, concave shapes curve inward, like a cave.
What type of lens is used in spectacles to correct long sightedness?
Convex lenses, which magnify, correct hyperopia. Below, is a previous wiki answer to this question in detail.Convex are thicker in the middle and thin out at the edges. These lenses magnify and are used for reading glasses and to correct long-sightedness (hyperopia).Concave lenses are thin in the middle and thick towards the edges. These lenses shrink things and are used to correct short-sightedness (myopia).A good example of this is to take a spoon and look at your reflection in it. Looking at the concave side of the spoon (the front) will make you look smaller, looking at the convex side of the spoon (the back) will make you look biggeRead more: Which_type_of_lens_magnifies_-_convex_or_concave
