Wearing more 'grown up' clothes and make up do help (at least in part) with making you look older but personally, I've found the most important thing is how I carry myself - act like an adult and people will treat you like one. Now that I'm 18 (and in the UK where I live, turning 18 is pretty much your passport to everything) I don't care so much because I know I'm an adult and can prove it, even if I don't look like one.
Over the next couple of years, your appearance is likely to change and you'll probably start to look your age or older. Comparing yourself to your cousin will just make you miserable. Whenever you find yourself thinking 'oh she looks so much older than me' remember that in 10 or 20 years time, you'll love the fact that you look younger!
