How to look older with makeup??

Question

So I'm 20 and I've been told my entire life that I look young. I *finally* look 16 🙄 
I have a 9 month old and I feel like everyone's staring at me because I look too young to be a mother. I'm just so sick of it. Like 2 weeks ago I posted a picture to facebook and someone said I look 14. It really hurts my feelings!!! I want to look my age for once. Can someone please help me out? I'm not at all good at makeup but I can learn. Here's a couple pics of me for reference

Answer

I’m 22 and have the same problem. 
But guess what? Embrace it. Because that means when you get old you aren’t going to look that old! 
You got good genes girl.

Answer

Dye your hair dark brown or black. Idk why ive been thinking about this alot but most women i know who are light skinned with light hair look very young like young teens. And then if theyre short they look even younger.  I would dye my hair a dark color if i were you. But you look gorgeous.

Answer

I understand the struggle, everyone says you’ll be happy about it when your older, that’s great but it’s difficult when people don’t take you seriously because of it. 
Everything about your current natural look is stunning, but if you are wanting to change it up I would actually try a hair stylist first. A polished, angled cut, with maybe some color could make you look older. You could totally just keep the makeup simple. Try a nice rosey lipstick, mascara, a lightweight powder foundation and bronzer for some soft contouring.

I’m sorry that your feelings are hurt by that, but there is a positive side to it. When you are older, you will be happy to get these compliments. I think the best way to deal with this is to realize that people’s opinions don’t really mean anything. Many times people will say things like that because they are simply jealous of your youthful look. Many people would absolutely kill to have genes like yours! I think that if you change your mindset to view this as more of a positive thing, you’ll be embracing this fountain of youth that everyone is looking for. Because when you turn 40 or 50, you’ll be wishing that you didn’t wish away that youthful look so quickly. You will miss those years and wonder why you wanted to make yourself look older. Trust me (coming from a 41-year-old). You won’t look that young or vibrant forever. And you are simply beautiful and stunning, so don’t ever let people make you feel bad about the way you look.

Answer

That sucks, but hey, at least when everyone our age look like old bags, you’ll finally like 20! Lol

Answer

Just take it as a compliment!! I had 2 babies at 23 & used to get the dirtiest looks & comments. Ppl would even ask me why I wasn’t in school on weekdays 🙄 
Almost 37 & my age is finally starting to show. Wish I could go back to being accused of being younger! 😂 
It’s funny when ppl think me & my 15 yr old daughter are friends. Several times I’ve tried buying alcohol & they won’t let me bc they need my daughters ID as well. I say, “it’s my child” & they’re like, “ohhhh. I’m sorry”. 
One day you’ll get that too.

Answer

Awesome genes! Screw everyone else. But YouTube has great videos that’s where I learned to do mine!

Answer

Be blessed you look young I know some 20 year old (who haven't done drugs) look like their 30

Answer

You are gorgeous! Embrace looking younger and don’t take it for granted in my opinion. I’m gonna be 32 and I’m starting to see myself age in slight ways and it’s a harsh reality for me.

Answer

I’m 20 and get the same, currently pregnant and see people giving me dirty looks I had a oldish woman just starring at me other day like she was disgusted made my anxiety hit the roof 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
