Tips for looking older

Honestly, I know it's irritating now, but you will be grateful for this when you are older. Just roll with it and don't worry about it. When someone says, "no way you're 18" just smile and move on. It's not that big of a deal as it will only last a short period of time.

When you're 40 and people think you're 30-35 you will look back on these days and wonder why you were so upset.

It's meant as a compliment, and/or an easy neg to open flirting.

Wears heals, the extra height makes you look older. Avoid makeup, most set ups for that are designed to subtly make you look younger.

As far as this sub would be concerned, I'd think the answer would be; don't "fix", isn't broken. If you have a young cute look, your boyfriend probably likes that.

Sometimes you just get babyface :) I'm 26 and still get the "you couldn't possibly be a day over 18" all of the time. It's a little annoying, but it's really a blessing!

Embrace it! Once you stop getting carded you will be coming back asking "how do I look younger" lol. Its life. It may suck now but thats probably alot of his appeal to you. (Not because you look 14 but because you look youthful)

kinda funny to see this thread so soon after that other one about wanting to look younger....

anyway. you need to relax a little and realize that you're very lucky. you may start appreciating your youthful looks sooner than you think. i'm only 25 and being carded has become a bit of a mood boost for me this year. (it did annoy me when i was younger haha) i consider it a compliment because i have been taking better care of my hair and skin lately :)

Try asking at /r/makeupaddiction or /r/femalefashionadvice.

Look on the bright side: You have less than a year to put up with this. You'll be 21 in no time.

Yes! This is my problem too! I'm a few days shy of 21, 5'2" and a DD, been like this since I was about 13. Then main thing I don't understand is that when I was 14ish people would sometimes mistake me for 18. But when I turned 18 people asked me if I was 14-16! This one time I was at the store with my mom and this old lady we were talking too asked me my age, then said "oh I thought you were about 12".... As soon as that happened I went out, bought new make up, and dyed my hair dark red. Which didn't help that much but made me feel new person.

Do you wear glasses? I notice people tend to think im younger if wearing my glasses. As far as dress and make up go I'm trying hard to find things more mature but without looking like im trying to hard. My DH is 6 years older than me, so im also trying to make sure I don't look like his kid sister when we're out, but his mature wife... im trying to take everyone's advice on "just imaging how good you'll look when your 30/40" but that does nothing to help me now.

And my DH jokes all the time about how if I put my hair in pig tails, the I could get into the movies on a child's ticket... >.>

You can make your facial features look older by properly applying makeup for that purpose. YouTube would be a good place to start with that if you're unsure on different makeup techniques.
