Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Paint your nails a dark shade. Preferably red, or whatever colour suits your skin. For many, it is a dark red or blue. Try not to use bright colours.

  2. 2
    Wear shoes which cover your toes. Maybe pastry or converse or plimpsoles. If you like, wear Gladiators, but remember to put on nail varnish.

  3. 3
    Put on make up. This always helps, for all ages. However, mascara, eye liner and lipstick don't suit everyone.

  4. 4
    Make your hair more sophisticated.  Sometimes tie them into knots or low ponytails. Don't put your hair in high ponytails or use ribbons. Remember, short hair doesn't make everyone look older. It depends on your head shape.

  5. 5
    Dress older. Try to not wear too much pink; it's a childish colour.

  6. 6
    Wear big earrings. Hoops and long, dangly earrings and pearls help a lot! But sometimes, studs aren't always the best.

  7. 7
    Do not act childish.  Remember your manners and don't play childish games. be polite.
