Answer 1

It has a lot more to do with how you act and present yourself.

Confidence, good posture, and good enunciation, plus looking people in the eye when you speak to them will make people immediately suspect that you are a young adult rather than a child.

I was 5 feet at 15 and on the skinny side. No hips or chest. I had a lot of freckles.

I was regularly mistaken for being 10 years old until I was 18 or 19. So I got a lot of practice doing what I've suggested to you. It worked pretty well.

While wearing a more adult dress and doing something different with your hair is fun (I got some blond highlights), the makeup is not too effective. Speaking as an adult now, you'll just look like a little kid that raided mommy's drawer. I see lots of girls that do this. I don't recommend it.

Good luck to you!

Answer 2

You don't have to wear heavy makeup to look older but even a little bit of makeup can help. I am 25 and 5'0" and unless I wear makeup I get a lot of people thinking I am much younger than I am too. See if your mom will let you get a makeup consultation at the mall or something and they can help find some makeup for you that will look natural but help you look older.

Answer 3

Wait, everyone looks younger than they are at your age. Give it some time, and I'm sure puberty will wave it's magical wand and you'll be looking your age and older in no time flat. In the mean while - don't wear make it, it ages you prematurely and while right now that's a good thing when you're twenty and covered in huge craters on your face giving you no choice but to wear make up, you'll regret it!

Answer 4

Hey, some day your going to want to look young..:)...but right now you can act your age and dress your age. When asking for KIDS you might want to reword that and ask for TEENS then tell them your age. I'm 27 and people thank I;m 20 its ok. Give it time and you'll find you at just the right time

GOOD LUCK
