I wondered if anyone had any tips to help me look older? The only thing I can think of is heels, and I don't want to be wearing those every single day!Thanks xxx

yeah my friend is nearly 23 and gets mistaken for a little girl all the time. it's really bad when we go to clubs as she is always stuck at the entrance with some stupid bouncer questioning her real id.
it makes me mad that some bouncers are stupid enough to think that real ID is fake, even though they check it on their special little machines. but the worse part is, they usually let under age kids walk straight in, just because they have their tits and ass's hanging out.

 You'll be loving this in a few years, Hun! Then you'll be happy you look younger than your age!!! In the meanwhile, hope this helps. The trick to looking older is to dress classically. Stay away from too much make-up and fad clothing. Just like smoking a cigarette makes a 12 year old look ridiculous, not older, to much makeup and cleavage on a young looking face makes it look like you are trying too hard. I would wear sophisticated glasses, better shoes, and a good handbag style. Don't be afraid to go into the shops and try things on in the mirrors, even handbags. Buy was is proportional to your size. A pair of pointy toe kitten or 2" heel boots is going to look older on you than the round toe "Mary Jane" style. If you don't like heels, a wedge style shoe or boot is more comfortable and easier to walk in. Make up; NO dark lipstick no goth styles, no black eyes or lips, no glitter; just subtle eye make up, a natural colour of lipstick and maybe a good pair of earrings. If your belly is showing and you have 16 earrings in, you are wearing baggy pants or extreme styles, you might appear younger. No shirts with slogans or pictures on the front. AND just like your Mom says to always wear clean underwear in case you get into an accident (Like it's going to be clean AFTER you have the accident?) - ALWAYS carry 2 pieces of photo ID on you, that's just a good practice at anytime, as any mother will tell you.

Oh sweetie, I know how you feel, my friend still gets ID'd and she is 25!
She is just small.
All you can do is take out your passport and driving license and be glad that when everyone of your other friends is upset because they look 30, you'll look like a sexy 25 year old.
Plus, hidden platforms are in a lot of the heels for this season so you can boost your height quite subtly.
Just wear them when you want to go out.
Good Luck!! xx
