Looking my age or older


Question Posted Wednesday July 16 2008, 11:18 am

I'm 18 but alot of people say that I look 15 years old which gets me down. Any ways to look older or my age?

p.s. I do wear make-up but for some reason people STILL say I look young..

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 :)

Try a different more stylish haricut.Go to your hairdresser and ask her what are the trends for hair.You could also pick up a magazine that showcases all the trends in hair for the length you want (short,medium,long).I would'nt shop in the "juniors" section all that much.You want to look a bit more sophisticated and more appropriate clothing since your about too enter adulthood soon.Show skin,appropriately.Don't buy alot of name brand clothing that shows the name brand on them like(hollister,or abercrombie).Focus on accessories,like a cute bag, or some bangles.You can keep up with the latest fashions by reading magazines like lucky or elle.Go to a makeup artist at a store like macy's or Jcpenny they can do your makeup for free,and show you how to do your make-up so it looks natural(not saying you might be doing your make-up bad or anything but they can give you pointers).Watch how you talk to people,use less "umm" and "a huh" you want to sound more mature then that.If you would like anymore ideas,just leave one in my inbox :)

I would try experimenting with different hair styles. Sometimes there are certain ones that flatter your face and give you a more mature look. Maybe go to a salon and ask which one would be the best for that.
