You stated you wanted brutal honesty. I thought you could be anywhere from 17 - 27. It's a combo of many factors. You are in really poor lighting in these pictures. You showing just a head shot photos. You are displaying yourself with sophisticated m/up and hairstyle in all of these photos. I got the impression from one of the photos that you were not happy with your appearance. If that is the case, I have no idea why.
When I was 14, I could look 22 with a change of hairstyle and m/up. Hairstyle and m/up does make one look different.
If you had your hair pulled up in a loose high pony tail, pink lip gloss, and some mascara, you would look around 17 tops.
That last picture is the best. You have got to smile. You can look sophisticated or like a free spirited youth in a snap. You have that ability.
You are gorgeous!

I am not sure how to get better lighting, the first pic was taken in daylight and the other pics in my livingroom but there was a light right next to me...
I will try to take body shots later too but it's hard because I am taking the pics of myself so it won't work unless I take a picture of me standing in front of the mirror and take a pic of the mirror. I think I will take one of those too when I am done and then you guys can tell me if that helps.
Yes, I do have sophisticated style makeup and clothes in all the pics because that's what I usually dress like in real life. About the smiling thing, I have braces and I am very self conscious, I cannot smile until they come off and I have my teeth bleached and they look perfect. I just don't feel comfortable right now, even though I am sure the braces will make me look younger; it just doesn't make me feel attractive and I don't feel comfortable smiling.
Thank you for your great insight!

28?
You look really pretty though. Remember that if you feel young in heart and are happy with yourself, regarless your age, you will always look radiant and young.

reading your replies, i have to say...i don't know why you're so worried about all this. you seem to be really unhappy with yourself, or maybe just insecure...and that's sad. you're a very pretty girl, whatever your age may be.
people always think i'm younger than i am when i'm at work, one time the fire dept had to come to my job for something and the captain asked me if i was a volunteer because he didn't think i was old enough to work there...that was after thirteen months of working there. it sucks because alot of people don't take me seriously because they just pass me off as "some dumb kid."
look at the bright side, you probably have an advantage in looking like you're in your twenties. as sad as it is, our society always puts more trust in people the older they are (or the older they're thought to be.)

A few people suggested too lighten up the foundation, so that's what I did and just uploaded some new pics. I also figured out how to use the self timer on my camera so that helps too.
As for my skin I am wearing super light foundation (less than 1 drop) diffused with fix and no concealer, also no MSF powder, no bronzer, no highligther, only blush and contour powder.
Of course I am wearing eye makeup tho.
And I'm wearing very "unsophisticated" clothing, a hello kitty top and just jeans, to help me appear younger.
Do I look younger now??
Also a body shot, but its very fuzzy, for some reason I can't take clear bodyshots when taking pics of the mirror
Younger now or still older looking? I can handle the truth.

No, I'm not unhappy, I just want to know how old I really appear to others and I just like to know how I am being perceived. I just want to know how others are really perceiving me and how I am coming across. I think it's just interesting to know the truth
I don't want to live in a lie and delude myself; for example think that I look young when I really appear old to others or vice versa.
I just want to be entrenched in reality and know the truth.

I was thinking on the lines of style of dress.
One of my nieces has the ability to look different ages with styles that blows my mind. With quick makeup and a dress casual summer dress, she looks like a teen. With a classic suit and her hair up in in a French bun, she looks like very sophisticated woman on the go in her late twenties. Sometimes, she will do a Gothic or edgy rock look too. Sometimes, I don't even recognize her. I just see someone approaching me with a big hug and a kiss.
BTW -She just made 19.
Forgive me on my grammar. I type way too fast.
