[QUOTE="Louise, post: 2234065, member: 209676"] Sigh. I have bad news for you: There's really very little you can do. If you're looking to look a little bit older, that you might be able to do; you won't look too grown up, but you can try. Looking grown up has a lot to do with how you carry yourself. If you go dogging around after someone or clique-ing up with a group of friends and giggling about stuff all the time, you can do everything to look grown up and it wouldn't have any effect. For glasses, chose something sophisticated - not super glitzy or anything. If you get the right pair of glasses, it can actually make you look a lot smarter. For hair, the first rule is keep it clean; if yo have dandruff, use a shampoo for it, and /always/ keep it clean. Oily is bad. Use conditioner on the ends only so that you can have healthy looking hair without the oil. Next, think about bangs; they can frame your face nicely and give you a bit more personality.
