Additional info, added Wednesday July 16 2008, 11:21 am: p.s. I do wear make-up but for some reason people STILL say I look young.. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles? mari-elena answered Wednesday July 16 2008, 12:09 pm: i have the same problem lol. im short and skinny and it just makes people think that im a lot younger than i really am. however i used to have long hair when people told me that i still looked young. Then i decided to get my hair cut. its just like the style victoria beckham has. its really cute, easy to deal with, and people say it made me look more mature and older.
i know that its hard to deal with people always sayin you look young because in different situations you want to look older. but older people always tell me to take advantage of the fact that you look young because when we get older we will still look 20 even if we are 30 :) [ mari-elena's advice column | Ask mari-elena A Question ]

Maybe go to a salon and ask which one would be the best for that. [ Jehmehh's advice column | Ask Jehmehh A Question ]
