I have grey-blue eyes, and I have a natural tan, but not really dark. I am 14, yet I am only 5' (grrrr). My hair color is reddish-brown with a few natural highlights from the sun, but mostly brown. It isn't really dark though, kinda liglht-ish. Actually, here's a picture of me...

These pics are with some makeup on.
Basically I'm the short smart girl, who is cute. But I want to have a somewhat edgier appearence. (I just started 9th grade **HIGH SCHOOL!!!** on august 4th, and I've changed a lot during the summer (My bf of two years dumped me for what I thought was my bff) so I wanna show everyone that there's a whole different side of me besides sweet little Amber.
Also, if you can help me with a style, please help me with a budget- I have $20 from babysitting but that's it, and I want to know a good mascara that won't clump, eyeshadow, stuff like that, but NOT lipgloss *have 2 much*

NOTE: The pic is right after I got out of the pool so that is why I look wet.

Amber, Amber, Amber....what is so wrong with looking so sweet? Most of the 14 year old girls these days look like street walkers. I think you look 14 and you are very pretty.
What are you thinking? Just because you are going to be a freshman does not make any difference....just another grade, as you will soon find out.
What "side" of Amber do you want people to see? The hard, bitter side? The jealous side? The loud, obnoxious side? The martyr? The rebel? What? Do you want these changes to improve yourself? Or do you want to "change" because you were dumped? You need to chill and be yourself. No extra make-up, no attitude, just sweet Amber. That will show more maturity than anything you can change or do.
How did you "change over the summer"? Did you cop a new bad --- attitude? Did you try to become like your ex-boyfriends new girlfriend? Does she look "edgy" or "older"? Oh sweetie, I wish I really knew you. You sound like a mini-me when I was your age. I made all of the mistakes that you are getting ready to do. Please, just be yourself, smile and be sweet when you see your ex-friend and ex together. That will show more maturity than ALL OF THE CHANGES that you want to make.
There is a saying, "living well is the best revenge", SO DO IT. Make very good grades. Be involved with school activities. Don't have sex just for the sake of having a boyfriend....he would probably leave you too. Smile and make a lot of friends. Live well! Succeed! Be yourself.
As far as style, a little goes a long way. Keep make-up fresh and light. Bare minerals is excellent. A little mascara, blush, and lip gloss. Do not line your eyes in black! A fresh new, fuller and just a little shorter hair style would look good on you. Keep it clean and easy to maintain. Stay away from very loose t-shirts, tight jeans, and super short skirts. Keep it fitted, but not too tight. The new skirts with a nice camisole and short sweater looks great on about any body size. On $20.00 you will not accomplish much of this, so take it a step at a time. Go get a free make over. Have fun and enjoy your youth. I think you are a doll. Good luck!

Woah sweetie, slooooow down.
First, you do look about your age.
Second, highschool is the time where you should knuckle down and learn, because if you don't do well, then what are you going to rely on, your looks? See the problem?
'Sweet Amber' should be sweet, especially at your age.
You'll have plenty of time in the future to make awful decisions to appear 'edgier.'
When all is said and done, the people in school don't matter.
Amber will always still be Amber, make up or no make up.
Style shouldn't be too hard; there are plenty of stores that supply what's "in" for girls right now.
If you want a real style tip, dress like 80s rocker chicks.
Then you'll really look 'edgier.' :0

Dress more mature.Don't wear kiddy looking clothes because they can give a childish apperance.Wear just a ted bit of make-up(not to much or you'll look foolish) Also carry yourself in a more mature manner.In other words act mature.Thats about all you can do.
Other than that you just have to wait until you mature more with growth & puberty.Time will show girlfriend.And pretty soon when your highschool days are over and you are all grown up,you'll run into old friends in they'll say " OMG YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT?YOU LOOK SO grown UP" I was once like you and now I've bloosmed in to a beatiful young lady.I don't have the kiddy look anymore. Just sit back and have patience.Your time will come,but in the mean time enjoy life and the age you're.I know thats hard to do,because highschool,peers can pressure you to look sexy before your time.

you're 14. You should look like you're 14. Enjoy it while you're still young. You will know what I mean when you're about 25. Until then, keep the makeup light and fresh looking and don't worry about crazy style hair cut. That's what old people do to try to look younger.

Ok....Those answers are the negative way.The positive way is finding a more older style of clothes, a older looking hair style, and wear a lil make-up...It should help you out...Not 2 make u look 2 old.

I don't know what you're talking about, you're adorable. Don't try to look older you'll get there soon enough. And let that jerk of a boyfriend be in your past. Your young and you have everything in front of you. Looking at your picture I'd say you're going to get enough attention, but try to focus on your future. You're too young to be tied to anyone. ( My granddaughter is 14 too.)

uhh err ummm if you want to look naughty then you have to dress naughty. even if i dont aprove, buy a few things from abercrombie or holliser. wear more black eyeliner and get some highlights. it will be pricey, but worth it...i guess. if you cant afford a&f and hollister, go to a used clothing store that sells brand name stuff. good luck!
i no i am fabulous!

Don't listen to those freaks who were the first 2 answers...find a haircut that suits your face shape. Get some eyeliner, it'll make you look older. Wear clothes you're comfortable in, and your confidence will make you seem older.
