Sweetie I know exactly how you feel. I was small for my age too. I still am a little on the small side, but that's a good thing now! Up until just this year, I had to go through the whole "Oh my god! You're so tiny! Can I pick you up?" and "Aww your so cute and little! It's adorable!" Believe me, I know how annoying it is. ;]
Let me just tell you one thing: Make up really doesn't necessarily make you look older. I started wearing make up just before seventh grade (I was twelve). At first I would wear neutral shades and whatnot. But by the time eighth grade rolled around (when I was thirteen), I would wear black eyeliner and dark blue eyeshadow. Not a good look. But I'd figured that it would make me look older. Now, looking back on pictures of myself, all I see is a silly little girl trying to pass herself off as an adult. Not exactly what I was going for. ;] So trust me, you're okay by not wearing make up. It's also a pain to put on everyday.
Besides, what really makes you appear older and mature is confidence. This means confidence in all things. Being confident enough to show your natural beauty (i.e. no make up), confidence shown in your attitude (in other words, don't care about when people make comments on how small you are), etc.
I don't have any magic remedies that will make you look older. I wondered the same thing all the time. What you really need is to accept the fact that you are small for your age and love it =] This is you. And you are a pretty cool person to be.
In a few years, I promise you your body will catch up to your age. You probably have yet to hit puberty to be perfectly honest. Like, you may have started..but aren't done yet. One day, you are seriously going to blossom and wonder why you ever worried in the first place. =]
And just think , if your body never does catch up to your age: When your forty and look thirty-two, everyone will be completely jealous, not shocked or horrified ;]
