Do I look my age?

Question

I'm 17 and people think I'm around 20. I just find it hard to believe that people think I look that age.

And before anyone says ANYTHING ... look at my Yahoo! 360 profile, you can get a better look at my pictures. And don't you DARE say I need to lose weight: I have large breasts, NOT fat, I'm 115 pounds and 5'8 ... people have just said things before. Thank you! :)

Answer 1

From looking at the pics on your 360 page, I would have guessed you to be somewhere between 18 - 21. So, yeah, you DO look that old. It's not a band thing though at all. You're very beautiful.

Answer 2

You do look like you're in your early twenties. But don't worry, it'll probably even out. When I was 14 everybody thought I was 17, at 17 they thought I was 20, at 20 it was 23/24, now that I'm 24 everybody says I look 24, some say I look younger. And the thing is I don't have a single wrinkle, and my skin is smooth, bright and young looking. Apparently I just looked mature for my age but now it seems I finally look mature enough to be my own age and not older. If you take good care of your skin it's likely something similar will happen to you.

Answer 3

I think you've asked this question at least once before. Yes, you do look about 16 or 17 upon second glance. You have the type of facial bone structure that could make a person look very adult-like at first glance but upon closer inspection I could see from the softness around your eyes, cheeks and lips that you're still in your teens.

I agree with the person above me that you should change your makeup. Most teenagers seem to wear some kind of shiny lip gloss (I really recommend Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lip glosses! Very yummy and cheap). The lipstick you're wearing in the first photo looks like something that a 35-year-old would wear, no offense.

Answer 4

Honestly, it's no big deal if people think you look 20 instead of 17. It just means you look like a young woman rather than a little girl. It is probably because you have a defined bone structure and also the way you carry yourself. It's a compliment! HTH : )

Answer 5

You are pretty and do look older than your age but only 19 or 20 and 20 would be pushing it. Not a problem as I said you look sweet. Don't listen to what others say, just take it all with a grain of salt and live.

Answer 6

Yes, you do look older, but if you don't like it it can easily be changed.

I think the so called "problem" is your makeup and hair style. The dark lips stick is usually for a little older women and as for your hair style, it's a little ordinary looking (not so exciting)... usually a younger look is either a more modern shorter hair cut or let your hair grow little longer... I'm sure you like your natural blond color, but a darker color hair always make one look younger. I've been a brunette for two years now and I do look younger than when my hair was blond.

For your makeup go with shades of pink gloss, some bronzer, mascara... for eyeshadow go with pastels. grey, and browns.

Let me know if you want precise makeup tips.

Answer 7

You still look young, however, on some of your pictures and the one I see now, your dark lipstick and drama eyes make you look older. That might be what throws people for a loop

Answer 8

I think you look about 18- 21

You are very attractive and beautiful and those people who said you need to loose weight need to get their head kicked in because you look real good.

Answer 9

ok, to start, you don't look fat at all so don't spaz. i thought your pic was pretty. second, you do look more mature than 17. i think maybe growing your hair out would cause you to look younger. it's not really that big of a deal because in a few years you'll be twentysomething and look it.

Answer 10

No, seriously, I thought you were a MOM. Okay I'm sorry for offending you or whatsoever but you could do some things to look younger, like:

Wear brighter clothes?
Don't use dull colour lipsticks? or
Cut fringe.

Yep. I think you will look younger if you do those three
