looking older
I'm fourteen years old, but I'm small and I have a very young looking face. When people guess my age they think I'm twelve. I have brown hair, blue eyes, and very pale skin. If anyone had any suggestions on how to look a little bit older, they would be greatly appreciated =] I was also thinking that highlights might help, and if anyone knows about if that would help or not, I would love it. Thanks!

Be happy that people dont thin you look older! Try using blush to rise your cheekbones and not look as pale, some eyeshadow.

Hey .....i'm kinda the same. I'm 13 and in the 7th grade. People always think i'm in the 4th grade or 5th. You and me sound alot alike. I used to have brown hair but i got blonde highlights (it did make me look older), i have blue eyes, and i am very pale too! I'm also really short so thats not too great. I just dont really think about it too much, just dont worry i guess haha someday you will be happy that you look younger than your age!

i was the same exact way im turning 17 and people still mistake me for 14. dont worry so much about it, wear make up. but whats so bad about being young do you know how many people told me they wish they looked as young as i do. wait till your older noone will think youre old. highlights made me look younger but it might work on you. im pretty much in the same sitution and i eventually learned to accept it.

Yah, I was that way too.
The only thing I can think of to help you look older is to act older. Silly, I know. But, hey, maturity goes a long ways in this life. I promise.
Don't cake on the make up. It will only give you bad skin. I dyed my hair every color under the sun, and none made me look older. Just gives you damaged hair.
Take advantage of your youthful look, you will be thankful for it in years to come.
I just had fun with it. I thought it was hilarious to see the look on people's faces when they couldn't guess my age(especially the age guessers at fairs- won many fabulous prizes). That look of total shock and disbelief is priceless. :D
I was 18 when an old fellow drinking coffee in the gas station swore I was no more than 14. Proving him wrong with a flash of ID was fun.
But then again, I just like to be hornery like that.

My advice ... don't try to look older! Having a younger look is something you'll be dying to have when your 40. :) You could pile all the make-up and hair color on that you want, but then you'll just look like a 12 year old trying to look 18. Don't sweat it. Who cares if people think you're a certain age? That doesn't make you inferior or less pretty than any other girls your age. Instead, mature actions and a mature attitude will carry you a lot farther, and you will earn lots more respect from people than if you loaded up on foundation and eyeshadow. Just because you look this way now, or feel like you look this way now, doesn't mean you'll look that way for the rest of your life. :)

Here's a list of things you could do to look older:
- Where more makeup like eyeshadow, lipgloss, foundation, mascara, and eyeliner.
- Try straightening your hair or scrunching it if you don't already.
-The highlights would help, just don't make them too drastic, and don't get really thick ones thin highlights would look better
- You could either try tanning outside, but obviously it isn't the right season for this, or you could go to a tanning salon.
- Wear more form fitting clothes if you don't, and if you're flat you could try bras with a little padding.
I hope this helps
RACH :D

check this out, while your try'n to look older now, when your in late twenties or thirties, you'll say to yourself hmmmm "I wish I looked younger" isnt that sorta ironic...but, listen I wouldnt try so hard to be old so quick, beleive me it will creep up on you so fast, and then youll say "DAMN" where did all the time go,so If they guess younger now when your up there in years, maybe that youthful look will still be present...so revel in your youth...

Yeah, Highlights might help, maybe get caramel highlights (not bleach blond, or they wont look natural). <br>Maybe something like this [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If you dont already, you could try using make up - Bronzer, blush & mascara could help as well!!
