hi guys, going to a club tomorrow night and i look quite young i get ID'd a few times (im legal in two weeks!) i have black hair, brown eyes and im an NC35. anybody got any tips on how to make me look older? please reply
(p.s. please can you say the colours of the eyeshadows n stuff when replying cos i aint that clued up on MAC yet!) thankyou xxxxx
i would say smokey/neutral - too many colors, esp. blue, purple, green, can look really childish. not always - when well done its fantastic, but remember when we were all 14 and wearing a bad layer of blue eyeshadow? yeah. so i would go with something neutral, maybe bronzey-gold-brown shades in sort of a smokey eye, maybe a bronzey/berry lip but not too dark. you just don't want to look overly madeup.
I'm a NC35 and I look like I'm nineteen (I'm 26 and my little brother gets carded less times than me!) I found that there's not much that will make you look older. I do find myself doing the smoked out, mascara-ed out eyes or dark dark lips (not at once!!)
Hey and look at it this way-- when everyone else is fifty, you'll look like you're forty! After awhile, it becomes a HUGE compliment, especially with the "You can't be THAT old" look they shoot you sometimes.

i agree in a neutral/smokey look. And try a bit of contouring on your cheekbones, and a mature colored lip, like a berry or mahogany brown with just a little shimmer. glitter screams out CARD ME! so don't use too much shimmer, but keep it sexy for the club. good luck1
I agree, don't do the glitter. I like the smokey eye idea, but keep it simple. Take a look at Catherine Zeta-Jones and her eye makeup...she always looks so classy.
No gloppy, super shiny gloss here. Stick with a matte lipstick.
