I need some tips on how to look older...I'm 18 but I look like a 13 year old or something...last time I went with my bf to his workplace and the next day he said his coworkers said I looked really young and called him a child molestor. I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does because I've always felt like I look like a little girl. Please help!!! It's hard as it is to look older because I'm kinda flat up top, I'm short (5"1'), and I have a baby face. What can I do to look older?

1] grown up hair - try an older or more 'styled' version of your hair now.
2] wear classic earrings - posts, hoops, button, etc. No animals, or cutesy stuff.
3] makeup - start with mascara, blush, and lip color.
4] clothing - avoid graphic tees, tunic tops, etc. Look around the mall - whar kind of tops do the young women wear? Fitted [ women's ] Ts, blouses, button shirts; with a coordinating jacket or sweater. [ Sweatshirts automatically subtract years. ]
Jeans and slacks should fit well, and not be too long or too short. Add a coordinating belt.
Shoes - wear ballet flats, pumps, heels, anything bit sneakers ,Vans, or Skechers outside of home or school [ also automatically subtract points ].
6] Accessories: a great stylish purse, not a tote or messenger bag or backpack.
PS: I was offered a children's menu until I was 18, and was carded until I was 35! But now I am 51, and I still look younger than everyone else!

Try some make up 2 brighten up your face if u dont already wear it, and wear clothes appropriate 4 ur age. U can also try 2 wear heals more often. But it's the same 4 me. Right now im 15, and people still think i look around 10! But i figure that when all of my friends r old in there 30's i'll look like im in my 20's, and way hotter! I mean, id rather age slower, more time 2 act like a kid, and get away w/ stuff! All the luck 2 ya!

Not too much, except dressing older and wearing a lot of makeup. I have the same problem! I'm 17, and people mistake me for being about ten. Its awful! I'm 5'0 and have what you have, a baby face. I have big boobs, and dress my age. So I never understand why I get asked if I want a child's menu when I go out to eat. You just got to learn to live with it lol. You'll be thankful for it when you are much older. Or so i've been told.
