How can I look older when I go out?

makeup, nice hair, high heels, tight, sexy looking clothes, um.. yeah just try not to look like a slut lol

They do not have to apologize to you. It is their job to card anyone who looks underage. They can be fined if they do not do this, or even lose their license. Best to just show your ID, smile, and get on with having fun.

I still get carded… and I’m 30…

Don’t let your young appearance seem like a negative thing.

I have a few a ideas: get a fake wedding ring,or/and if you have a cell phone: pretend to talk to your kids or hubby.

Sometimes “tight, sexy looking clothes” makes it look like you are trying too hard. You can still wear something sexy and classy at the same time.

lol I don’t need to gain weight - I’m at the perfect weight for my age/height.

Lipstick always makes me look older… but seeing as if your going to clubs, your not going to want to look older by dressing more sophisticated, you’re there to have fun! As long as they let you in, I wouldnt stress too much over it. But try lipstick, it works for me.

just roll with the punches. dont change yourself. when you get carded and they hassle you ask to speak to the manager or owner and explain kindly that they have insulted you and if they wish to keep you as a customer an apology is due. I do that everytime someone gives me a hard time about my id and in most cases I not only get an apology but a discount or free drinks. they want to keep their customers happy. and if you speak up about it people may remember you and not hassle you the next time.

Well, yes, it’s a compliment to me to be carded, and one day you will be happy about it. :) But in the meantime I would try maybe putting your hair up, and trying out different make up tips to make you look older. You can also look and “seem” older by paying attention to what you wear. Get together one night with your friends and have a makeover party or something and try out different looks. When you find the right look, go out and Have Fun!! :)
