How to make yourself look older when going out?
Thing is I'm 15, I've been told I look 18+ when I go out casual normally to the local pub. I am planning on going out to a popular pub in a couple of weeks with a large group of family aged 19-30's so their gonna try get me in! Be a shame if I had to leave... So I've been told going casual makes you look older like jeans& heels... But I've picked a really nice leopard print dress (above the knee) with 5inch heels, btw I also have short shoulder length hair. Shall I go dressed up? Good amount of makeup? Tips how to make me look older please! Thanks :) xx

Going casual normally makes you look older and that is what I would recommend unless you are totally stacked and the dress shows that off. If you go casual, try not to wear a shirt with a picture on it. I would recommend solid colours or a nice pattern. Wear something figure flattering (sexy, but sophisticated).
Avoid pastels (baby blue, sea green, etc.)
Generally, the more make-up you wear the older you look, but try not to go overboard. Don't wear heaps of shiny, gooey lipgloss. Maybe try a matte lip or something with just a little colour and a little shine.
Make sure your eyebrows are nicely groomed. Thick eyebrows will make you look younger because eyebrows naturally thin out with age.
I think your hair sounds really good. Some styles that could make you look older would be a) a bob b) parted on the side with side-swept bangs c) back in a sophisticated up-do (not a pony-tail).
Good Luck! :)

I am 17 and I have been getting into pubs and clubs since I was 15. I think that the more effort you put it the more obvious it is that you are trying to cover up. When I go to the pub, I usually wear figure hugging pants with a classy top - think what celebrities wear when they get pictured shopping etc, and a large bag with heels or boots. Not uggs or trainers or pumps. Also, I wouldn't wear the dress if you are going to the pub because it will look like you're trying too hard. Why don't you wear the heels with a pair of jeans? Because how many people do you see in the pub in short dresses and high heels? Hardly any. I usually have smokey eyes and nude or light pink lips, or red lips and not a lot of eye make-up, never do both, one or the other. If you can master smokey eyes go for that. and either wear your hair down, or in a scruffy bun with it quite boofed up. I think people look older with their hair up but it's all down to what you prefer, (I have a tattoo on the back of my neck so when I wear my hair up I look 18+ because thats the tattoo legal age!). Also, if you do get ID'd which is likely, just be like 'Oh haha I didn't think I would need it!' or 'oh this was a last minute plan, I don't have it on me.' Or maybe could you borrow an older sister's id? Even if it doesnt really look like you, as long as it says you're over age and if they question you on it, you give the right answer you will be fine! Good luck :)

Hi there,
This is a very good anti-aging program I'm following: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=547
it's developed by Steve and Becky Holman and it's 100% natural: no drugs, no supplements, no gimmick. They teach how to slow the aging process. There are specific ways to move, eat and think that tell your brain to stop and even reverse the aging process. There are also things they you absolutely have to avoid if you really want to look younger and achieve your ideal body. More info on the site.
Bye Bye

Usually, that is too long for me. I consider it depends on the guy and his face though. Certain guys may pull off long hair and other people can't.
