6 Tips And Tricks To Follow That Will Help You Get Mature Look

Some ladies want to know how to look older. I, for one, reached an age where most women look for the opposite. When I was sixteen, I tried to look older, putting on dark lipstick, changing my hair, wearing purses which were filled with basically candy. I didn’t do a very good job of it and reverted quickly back to my baby face ways—it was cheaper. But now, I’m actually older and I don’t need to wear makeup to show it.

Trust me, when you actually look older without makeup, you’ll wish you had enjoyed your baby face. But I’m going to stop myself before I get down the road of “oh poor me, I’m getting old.” This isn’t about me, it’s about you.

# Don’t dump everything on your face

This is a common mistake. Trust me, I’m well seasoned to this, I have the photos. Before you dive into your makeup bag, remember less is more. Just because you want to look older, it doesn’t mean you need to wear everything in your makeup bag on your face. So, take a breath, put the eyeshadow down and continue reading.

# Too much makes you look younger

I know you heard wearing high heels makes you appear older, but it’s actually false. Women who wear high heels and a lot of makeup actually make themselves younger as younger women use these tactics to look older. See what I mean? By doing this, you actually just prove that you’re younger than you look.

# Get yourself some classic pieces

If you want to look older, opt for wearing clothes which are sophisticated and timeless. No, you don’t have to dress like you just joined the book club, but choose pieces which are classic and subdued in color. Dark-wash skinny jeans with a plain white t-shirt and a pair of low heels gives you an older look.

# Focus on one area of the face

I know this will be a little challenging for you in the beginning, especially if you’re used to wearing a lot of makeup. But instead of putting everything on your face, focus on one area of your face. For example, keep your eye makeup subtle, but do a strong lip or vice versa. Having a strong lip and eye only makes you look like you’re trying too hard.

# Stay away from huge trends

I know you didn’t expect to read this, but it’s true. Though we all fall into fashion trends, try not to have your entire closet dedicated to one look. Overly trendy looks actually come across as juvenile—exactly what you’re not looking for. If you’re not sure about certain trends, you don’t have to follow them, instead stick to a look that looks classic and comfortable for you.

# Do haircuts matter?

Well, depending on the cut, yes. For example, a lob or bob are two cuts that are currently very trendy. They cut off above the collarbone and give you a really clean and mature look, especially for younger women. What’s even better about this look is that they suit almost all face shapes and can be worn either wavy or straight.
