=> A concave mirror is used as shaving or make-up mirror because it forms a magnified and erect image of the face when it is held closer to the face.
=> Doctors use concave mirrors as head mirrors.
The mirror is strapped to the doctor's forehead and light from a lamp after reflection from the mirror is focused into the throat or ear of the patient.
