im 19........?

Question

im 19 but only look about 16yrs, what kind of things can i do to make me look my age, eg. Clothes, make up, hair ect.
Im fed up of old people looking at me funny when im out with my child, what makes it worse is that my bf is 25 and looks it.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

lol Sounds like me. My ex was 5 years older than me and I felt like a kid next to him because I looked younger than I was anyways. I'm 19 as well.

Things you can do are dress professional. I don't mean business dresses and coats, but wear nice dress shirts with your favorite jeans (even if they're beat up) and a pair of heeled boots or sandals. Or vise versa (dress bottoms or skirt with a casual top). With makeup, use earthy tones like browns, blacks, and greens... too much color brings out a young face. Wear your hair in a sloppy bun, or keep it straight with a slight curl at the bottom. Add a simple matching necklace for personal touch.
If this doesn't sound like you, it's okay, you can still make it your own.

And by the way, those who say that its "sad" that you're 19 and have a child with an older boyfriend... are obviously too closed minded. Don't listen to them.

Answer 2

First thing would be not to put your hair in a pony hail if you do that. i think it always makes people look younger. Dress wearing "proper" trousers and tops rather than tracksuits etc.
You wait, when you get older and people say you look younger you will love it!
People are always looking for ways to make themselves look younger so you will be envied!
Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be any "wrinkle" cream on the market but im sure not slapping on the makeup with a trowel would also help. Not saying you do of course but it seems when people want to look older they go abit ott on the makeup and end up just looking their age or younger!

Answer 3

first of all dont be too bothered what people you dont know thinks of you.

always take some id out with you
dont wear tops with cartoon characters one them
dont wear puffy coats or trackies
wear jeans and kitten heeled boots
dont scrape all your hair back into a ponytail
if you have long hair cut it shorter into a proper style like a bob and go to a good hairdressers when you first have it restyled as a restyle is worth paying for.
make up is best to go for the natural look.
dont go over board on black eyeliner

Answer 4

Hey I'm in 28 and people ask me if my 10 year old daughter is my sister. Yes it's annoying but the judgmental people who are looking at you like you are 16 and a mom aren't worth your time anyway, as it's none of their business how old you are. My husband is 29 and looks about 35. So he looks like quite the cradle robber when we go out together :) What's even worse is people assume MY kids only belong to him :) I say go out however you feel comfortable and laugh at the people who are judging you.

Answer 5

have a new hair do..a lot of girls of 19 have long hair and that gives them a youthful appearance..maybe a fashionable bob?
make up..everyone does the same...bit of shadow on the eyelid...but maybe a bit of blusher..it defines the cheeks,put a white eyeshadow on the whole of the eye area and then on the socket of the eye put a shade of brown on and blend it in,,finishing with a brown kohl pencil under the eyes fading it so it dont look too harsh..lipstick and liner..liner must match the colour though!! x

Answer 6

carry your id around with you and be glad you don't look your age there will come a time when you long to look the way you do now and if people look well let them at least they leaving someone else alone
