Concave mirrors bring the image to a focal point. Convex mirrors produce a diverging image - the further away from the mirror you are - the larger the magnification.

What are the practical uses for concave and convex mirrors?

Concave mirrors are used in reflecting telescopes, makeup mirrors, and headlights to focus light rays. Convex mirrors are used in security mirrors, wide-angle rearview mirrors in cars, and magnifying glasses to provide a wider field of view or to reduce image distortion.
