I am seventeen and people always think that I am a couple-few years younger. It used to not bother me, but now it does and I want to change. I am 5'6", tan, brunette, and I wear enough makeup without overdoing it. I dress my age, and sometimes older (not revealing, sometimes conservative.) Are there any make up tips or anything I can change to make myself appeal my age and maybe a little older?
Additional info, added Sunday August 7 2005, 7:08 pm: No, I don't act immature or younger. People always tell me I act like I am 20. And no I don't dress like a little kid. I shop at places where young ladies/women shop at.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health? Walt answered Tuesday March 30 2010, 9:57 pm: From a guy's perspective you can never really look older than your actually are. Make up helps a bit, but its pretty easy to tell that your young. Also like the other person to answer this question someday you will wish you look younger... i hear it all the time from my family. [ Walt's advice column | Ask Walt A Question ]
CaraJ answered Saturday March 27 2010, 3:38 pm: Unfortunately there isn't really anything you can do. Some people just look younger. Try seeing it as a good thing because it really is. Who cares if people think you're younger? Eventually, you'll want to look younger. I'm sorry but there's not much you can do to look older. [ CaraJ's advice column | Ask CaraJ A Question ]
coolwater answered Sunday August 7 2005, 6:02 pm: Ask this to yourself: Do you like how you look and act? IF YOU DO, THEN THAT'S GREAT! You don't have to change just for others but if you think that new make-up and more trendy clothes will help you, then go for it! If you need some fashion tips and hair, ask someone in one of your classes so you two can go shopping and work on your looks. Don't be ashamed of being a little younger than others. So, hope my advice helps. Goodluck! [ coolwater's advice column | Ask coolwater A Question ]

afro_timmy answered Sunday August 7 2005, 5:29 pm: i dunno
erm...
cut your hair? im only 16 but the other day i got my hair cut its kinda long with loads of layers and a side sweeping fringe (a bit like ashlee simpson) and i dyed it quite a dark shade of brown. go to your hairdressers and ask them to cut your hair to make you look older. maybe go to a make up counter and ask for advice on how to look older.
see what happens
hope i helped :)
