I used to have the same problem (sadly no more, but it was only about 4 years ago that I was last asked to prove my age to buy alcohol - I was 35)
I don't think there really IS anything you can do except carry your I.D. card with you and take it on the chin. Paradoxically, I've always been asked to prove my age more often when I'm wearing make-up.
And trust me - one day you really WILL be dead chuffed about it!

As you only have to be 16 or maybe 18, I wasn't carrying any. I realised my fatal error there was that I had been to the uni and had a rucksack full of books on both shoulders. But I think on the whole hair makes a big difference, and also make up. A little bit of make up can make you look older and more sensible I guess. When you are older you will be pleased about your young looks though!

 It will "pay off" if you've been trying to get a job in pigtails, and it may with guys too, I know I generally am not attracted to people looking like they aren't in touch with their age. What makes you think that you look underage? I mean, give it a try and see if you can see the difference in how people perceive you. They may take you more seriously.
