Hello! I look much younger than my age. What makeup and hairstyle can I choose to remove this effect? The matter is further complicated by the fact that I have oily skin and face square shape, but I would like to look sleeker! Thanks in advance!

Anna, good afternoon!

What an interesting problem you have! I have never met women who want to look their age and consider youthfulness to be a disadvantage. As a rule, this is characteristic of men who want to make a more serious impression on others. Perhaps your field of activity (teacher, doctor, research assistant) requires increased seriousness. Plus, you want to look not only older, but also sleeker. The problem is difficult, but interesting. I will try to help you.

First of all, let's figure out the shape of the face. According to what I see in the photo I sent you, your face is not square at all, but rectangular at the top and oval at the bottom. You perfectly mask the forehead line without my help: side parting and long oblique bangs - perfect option... The chin and jaw do not need correction.

Makeup: how to look older

Now I'm going to share with you some simple tricks to help you grow up visually. At the same time, for sure, you want to look older, but not worse than now. Therefore, in my recommendations, I observed the golden mean.

1.Darker skin tone instantly makes you look a few years older. But it doesn't need a darker one tone cream and a tan. You don't want to see the difference between face and neck color.

2. Wide eyebrows are also a sign of youth. On the other hand, eyebrows become less frequent with age. Therefore, you can slightly correct their shape by making them a little thinner at the base (in no case do the eyebrows with a "thread"). Also, for your purpose, the eyebrows should be given a more rigid horizontal shape and not with a rounded soft base, but angular. This will give the face masculine features: imperiousness, strength. Approximately such straightened (albeit wide) eyebrows in Natalie Portman and Miranda Kerr... Although, in my opinion, the current form suits you perfectly.

3. In your photo, wrinkles around the eyes (and in other areas of the face too) are invisible, so you can use pearlescent shadows. However, you will look older thanks to matte shadows in brown tones. You will achieve the same effect by drawing your eyes with a black pencil along the upper and lower eyelids at the same time. But be careful not to make your eyes smaller, as glasses are already making them smaller.

4. Dark lipsticks with a shining finish. Dark tones (wine, eggplant, brown-red) always add age. However, they also visually reduce the surface of the lips, so I pointed out that the texture should by no means be matte (but not glossy either, since lip glosses are young). If you draw a clear outline with pronounced corners upper lip, you will seem more mature.

5. Blush of dark beige, brown, reddish-red tones visually make the cheekbones higher, and their owner - older.

An improperly applied make-up adds age, and a competent one gives maturity. No matter how much you would like to seem older than your years, you should not use in practice techniques that will not decorate anyone. This is too thick a layer of foundation and concealer, too light foundation, completely matte complexion.

Hair: adult color and haircut

Anna, you are feminine romantic hairstyle with long curls. It is better to make a symmetrical haircut: a graphic square with a side parting, a bob-square with untwisted ends. Create a tight bun with slicked-back hair.

It is better to make the hair color two or three shades darker, and also choose a more saturated shade of red. The more olive pigment your skin has, the deeper red you can afford. And the darker your eyes, the lighter it should be. I propose a ginger shade like the star of the series « Desperate Housewives»Marcia Cross... A uniform color, of course, will add age to you, but it will take away some of the attractiveness and naturalness. Therefore, do not overdo it and stop the choice on coloring.

And a few recommendations regarding clothing. Instead of T-shirts and jeans, wear elegant classics: blazer pairs with a pencil skirt or trousers, shirts and blouses, a classic-silhouette coat (with a belt). Accessories don't have to be teenage either. Choose tote bags or shopping bags, clutches, high-heeled shoes, soft leather or suede gloves, cashmere scarves.

Are you tired of being confused with your younger brother or sister? You can look older and appear more mature than you really are. Just watch how you dress and how you behave, and people will start thinking that you are older.

Steps

Wear the right clothes

Get rid of teenage fancy clothes. One of the ingredients by which we are judged is clothing. What we wear can influence the opinion of others about us. If you want to look older, stop wearing teen clothes. Start purchasing items from other parts of the store. Just walk past the children's section and head to the adult section. In the usual children's departments, you will find clothes made from cheap, thin and translucent materials that give childish view... Consider clothing made from good material instead.

Wear clothes that fit. Swap out baggy items for tight fit. You don’t want your clothes to absorb you completely. This style gives you an unsightly and sloppy look... On the contrary, tight-fitting clothing lends an immature and youthful look.

Don't wear painted T-shirts. A T-shirt with a logo or a funny inscription speaks of a person's immaturity. This includes brand names, logos, and so on. If you want to look mature, remove T-shirts from your wardrobe altogether.

Wear quality jeans. Jeans are an integral part of any person's wardrobe, regardless of age. However, you should choose your jeans carefully if you want to look older. Buy jeans of exceptionally good quality. Make sure they are not high or low waist.

• Guys should only buy straight jeans. Girls can buy loose or skinny jeans with slightly flared legs. If you decide to buy skinny jeans, make sure that you are not too tight in them.
• Change highlighted or ripped jeans on darker models. Don't wear jeans with rhinestones or other accessories.

1. Wear the right shoes. Complete your look with a selection the right shoes... Do not wear sneakers or fabric shoes. You should also not wear too flashy shoes. If you're a girl, you don't have to wear very high heels or overly sophisticated styles. Regardless of gender, you shouldn't wear flip-flops. Instead, it is better to get sturdy shoes.

   • Guys are better off wearing shoes. Black boots look good with just about any outfit. Leather boots with lacing can also be combined with all types of clothing. Loafers will also be a great pairing if you don't want to wear boots. Patent leather shoes give a mature look.
   • Girls are advised to wear high heels. However, heels don't have to be very high. If you don't want to wear high-top shoes, get ballet flats. Sandals will look good in the summer.

2. Dress gracefully. This is another way to look mature. Present yourself as a neat, professional person. This will help people see you as an adult, not a child.

   Get rid of your backpack. You should not take a backpack when you are going somewhere, it makes you younger in the eyes of people. Guys are advised to carry a messenger bag or leather briefcase. For girls, you can take a simple clutch or a small handbag.

3. Develop your vocabulary. This does not mean that you should rush into a conversation with long, abstruse words. This behavior will simply give the impression that you are desperately trying to get attention. Concentrate better on removing childish and teenage words from your vocabulary that make you look childish. Speak slowly and deliberately. Choose the right words to express a particular thought.

   • Use difficult words. For example, use: “This unusual idea! " - instead of: “This new idea". Ask to be with you "wide open", instead of asking to speak honestly. The more vocabulary a person has, the more mature and intelligent he seems.
   • Try not to overdo your slang. Avoid the word "clear", in sentences use "in particular", "you see." Try to eliminate the words "cool" and "dude" from your vocabulary. In correspondence, do not write words and sentences in full in capital letters... This can be perceived as a harsh tone or even a cry. In most cases, profanity should also be avoided.

4. Be prepared to stand up for yourself politely. If someone disrespects you, you have the right to ask to stop. After all, an important part of a mature personality is that he or she has respect. Be straightforward and say what you want. Try not to use sarcasm or offensive tone. Using sarcasm and offensive tones when making jokes will make you look unattractive and unlikely to achieve the results you want.

   • For example, if someone interrupts you, ask to wait and not interrupt yourself.
   • Don't say, “Wow, I can't believe you interrupted me! Some people don't know when to shut up. "
   • Learn to let go of the situation. Everyone has unpleasant situations with people, but it is necessary to have wisdom in order to know how to behave correctly in a quarrel. Malicious behavior or resentment can indicate your immaturity.
   • Often times, people don't even notice when you are hurt. Therefore, be respectful of the feelings of others and sometimes even try not to notice mistakes, or, if necessary, tell the interlocutor that he hurt you.
