Answer 1

Stay looking young its a great attribute you do not want to shun away. Many would kill for that privelage.

Answer 2

I'm on the opposite ring of things and equally enjoy it

when i went to my dads gym when i was 12/13 several people asked

if i was a senior and a man even made the comment about a 17 year old being with someone so old as my father? really embarassing actually. Now that i'm 15 i look like im 19-21.

I wear subtle makeup, and darker blush on the tops of my cheeks to define my cheekbones (i'm a red headed ginger, so i'm not sure what your color would be). I also use large hair curlers called "big curl" they run for 22 bucks or so and they work in 4 minutes flat, gives the hair great volume which adds to the "mature look". I wear nuetral colors for tops and some bright high heels (mature colors, please!)

this will definitely give you a sassy but mature look and i really do hope you try it!

Best of luck dolly!

Answer 3

Style hair :soft loose curl (dont make them tight otherwise it will look younger) go for Lauren Conrad style curls

Makeup: Black eyeliner and mascara (eyeliner on the top and bottom eye lid) dont use pink lipgloss, either red or just chapstick.

Clothes: hugging curves, nothing pink or white, preferably black. Show skin and dont covering your bra strap if it shows.

Hope I helped

It doesn't matter so much how old you think you look. What matters is how you present your self in conversation with other adults. Do you act 18yrs old or 15 yrs old that will be what peolple think of you.  Right now you want to look older and later on in life you'll do anything to look younger. Just go with it!

Answer 6

I would stay the same.  When your 40 and you look 35 it's great!

Answer 7

I've got the same problem. I'm 14 but people thought I was 12! My older sister is annoyed by me or something because of it. She made me look older by putting on a lot of mascara on me and practically alterring my skin color with her stupid cover-up even though i'm very fair skinned! So, I guess you can't look older without looking ridiculous. My advice is to just forget about it! Looking young is a great thing! I love knowing I'll look younger than the other girls while we continue to age. Soon, they will be wishing they looked as young as you! Just carry yourself with confidence and maturity.

Answer 8

Why would you want to look older?

Answer 9

I think that bangs cut straight across make girls look very young so don't do that. And never wear barrettes either. Otherwise, straight hair in a simple style will make you look older. Try a little darker color of lipstick versus a pastel gloss (which looks young). Use neutral brown shadow rather than colored shadows, too.

As for clothes, if you wear neutrals like brown, black, and navy (or dark colored jeans) with only a pop of color in your tees or tanks, then that looks older than lots of bright colors worn together. Avoid graphic tees with Disney characters or childish graphics, too. Wear wedge heels instead of flats and smooth leather boots rather than Uggs. Fitted blouses or tanks with cropped jackets look older than babydolls and they're trendy for fall, too.

That's about it. Good luck!! : )

Answer 10

if you posted pics then it would be way easier

but i would say

wear makeup and you will instantly become many years more mature looking and hotter

Answer 11

I don't think it has to do with how you look but how you carry yourself, how you act. Along with acting mature if you wear dark makeup around the eyes and a nude or neutral lip color, older people are starting to adopt that. Any chance you get wear heels. Flats, in my opinion, make people look younger. Also, pulling your hair back sometimes will make you appear a bit older. Hope this information helps.

FYI: don't wear too much makeup or you will look sloppy and inexperienced.  

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

Hey i know how you feel!

I'm 15 and look about 11, what i would advise would be to use more "grown up shades of make up" ie browns, reds etc as appose to greens and yellows. Also wearing your hair down gives the appearance that you are older too.

Good luck x
