Why is concave mirror is used for make up

Open in App
Solution

Concave mirrors magnify objects in focus. They're used for shaving or applying makeup because they reflect 'real,' almost 3-dimensional images. Concave mirrors are curved, and as light hits the upper and lower portions of the mirror, the image is focused at a central point, projected outward from the mirror itself. This means you do not have to look into the mirror itself to see your reflection, and the image is clearer and sharper than with a flat mirror.
