How do I make myself look older (theres a challenge)?

Question

as if I didn't look young enough already with a small, round, face flushed cheeks, thick rimmed glasses, and big brown eyes... I now have braces. I look all of twelve...but I'm 18. I don't like wearing heavy make-up or black eyeliner because I think it doesn't suit me. The make-up I wear is just a natural base/cover-up (bare minerals) and some brown eyeshadow and a glossy lipstick one shade darker then my natural lip color. I have layered shoulder length hair with side swept bangs (reddish brown with natural highlights) and dying is completely out of the question. What kinds of clothes should I be wearing to make myself look my age? I'm 5'9 with a large chest and I'm pretty slim everywhere else. (I have naturally wide hips though) any other tips for looking my age...with braces?

Thanks

Answer 1

Clothes that are low cut, high rise, body confidence, all round confidence, happy attitude, quite a lot of make up helps (it ages the face, sorry). Get a more interesting hair cut, try hair extensions? More bolder lighter highlights? You sound like you have a perfect body lucky you, so flaunt it:D.. Just don't let your insecurities like braces get you down. No-one will notice them if your not LOOKING for someone to notice them, stop worrying about how young you look and just get on with it :)

Answer 2

Heavy smoking and drinking usually does the trick.  Toss in some opioid or amphetamine abuse and you'll look the part in a matter of months.

Alternately, you could get a fake, thin mustache.  (yes, I know you're a girl).

Short of those options, acting the part is about 80% of the perception.  

Answer 3

hey looking young is better than looking old. i basically look about 15 and i'm 22. i suppose more makeup and dressing older and such will make you look older.
