How do I look my age?

I am going to be a sophomore in high school. I am short for my age. I am only 5’0. People think I am much younger. When I go out to restaurants, they ask me if I want a children’s menu. How do I appear to be my age?

Answer #1

i’m short and i’m twenty and i’ve been told i look about twelve so i just dress a older perhaps wear some make up.

Answer #2

i’m also going to be a sophomore in highschool and im 5’7”. people think im 18. but i love it. i dont really think you can look your age.. more makeup maybe? just remember, when you’re 90 you’ll love that you look young. haha =]

Answer #3

also if you get a nose ring or wear jewlery likelong beads that can increase your age clothes have alot to do with it.

Answer #4

Wear alot of black tops-black makes people look ALOT older and is also a really sexy colour! Also you could organise to have a beauty consultant to give you a visit and show you how to do your make-up to make you look older. Also just have confidence! I know this sounds really weird but confidence can make you not only feel older but make people perceive you as older! Hope this helped x

Answer #5

I’m 24 and often get asked what year I am in college..I’ll be 25 next month! I hate it, but I’ve learned that I will probably always look young for my age. I have a wonderful job and husband, so as you can see, it hasn’t held me back at all. I think it’s all in how you act and how you perceive yourself. If you’re confident and if you are who God made you to be, everything will work out just fine!
I always say..”I may look young now, but when I’m 50 I’ll be hot!” You will too!! :)

Answer #6

wear blush.. bronzers better, the more cheek bone outline the older you look. wear mascara, and when you put your hair in a bun, a messy one, it makes you look older dont wear pink shirts or logos unless its corona or something and, well, act your age if you dont. heals would work but its awkward just get wedges. and dont put on eyeliner it makes it look like your trying.. the more natrual you look the more older you look! if your hairs blonde or doesnt have style try a darker shade or put brown underneath if ur hairs short, grow it out, and that should be it! (L) hope i helped you out hun

Answer #7

Yeah, I understand. I’m 15 and 4’10. People always think ‘m years younger. And everyone mistakes my sister (who’s three years younger) of being the oldest. I don’t think you really can. Makeup would only make you look like a younger girl trying to look older.

Answer #8

dress maybe older or go with someone older I’m gunna be a freshman and I’m shorter than most of my guy friends but you’ll grow I guess

Answer #9

This may be your cross to bear..you may always get asked if you are younger than you are. The older you get, the more you will enjoy it. It’s not a bad thing.

Answer #10

well, you know not to act too young or too old. just do the same. :]

Answer #11

I am 18 and I look about 12 but the only way to look your age is to way make up and try dress like your age I am really small and when I tell peaple my age there like no you ant lol but it somthink I have learn to live with and that what you have 2 do I found that any thinki do I don’t look my age
