I remember this answer by remembering the word 'cave' as in 'concave'. The answer is Concave.

A makeup mirror is typically concave. Concave mirrors curve inward and are used to magnify reflections, making them useful for applying makeup. The concave shape helps to focus light on the face for detailed and accurate application.
A concave mirror produces a magnified virtual image making your face appear larger so you can see what you are doing more easily.
Examples of planes are bathroom mirrors, windows, and floors. A concave mirror example is a makeup mirror, which magnifies the reflection. An example of a convex mirror is a security mirror, which gives a wider field of view.
A makeup mirror is typically concave. Concave mirrors are curved inward and can help magnify and focus an image, making them ideal for makeup application.
A concave mirror bulges inward, causing light rays to converge at a focal point, making it useful for reflecting light to create real, inverted images. A convex mirror bulges outward, causing light rays to diverge, resulting in virtual, upright images that appear smaller than the object. Convex mirrors are commonly used in vehicles to provide a wider field of view.
Yes, but it can be hard to arrange. You need to set up a real image as a virtual object, and make the convex mirror image that. If the rays converge strongly enough, they will still converge after reflecting off the convex mirror.
A concave mirror can give a real, virtual, and magnified image depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. At certain distances, a concave mirror will produce a real, inverted, magnified image, while at other distances it will create a virtual, upright, and magnified image.
