When I am at school mall grocery store etc.people think I look 15 but I'm all most 20 in May how do I change because I'm sick of it! I know I'm not the only one.

I would just embrace your young look, most people want it but don't have it. You could get a more mature haircut and I see a lot of mature looking women wearing more coral and pink lip colors.

Idk how practical you'll find this but when I cut off all of my hair I looked a lot older!

I have babyface as well (I'm 21 but people always think I'm 16-18) and I agree that it's annoying but I also agree with Shanae to just embrace it! Eventually it'll be an amazing thing to look younger so just accept it and continue in your merry way (:

I recently cut off my hair and I ended up looking older lol didn't intend to. I also have a baby face. The lady at sephora thought I was 20.

Also, I'm starting to get a kick out of it. I love the look on people's faces when they ask what grade I'm in and I say I'm 21. I agree with Janelle to just laugh it off (:

It's the opposite with me, people usually assume I'm in my mid twenties and then I get sad. Lol just kidding, but I don't like it. It's probably my body and I definitely my under eye circles, it adds like 533789963 years into my face.

Dude, I have been mistaken for being 17 when I'm 13...by a girl in my class. I would honestly learn to embrace your youthfulness because not everyone has that gene (everyone being me). I have heard it helps to make you look older when you cut your hair at a choppy bob length, or just shorter in general that it gives an older appearance.

Once when I was 16 I colored my hair blonde with highlights and everybody would tell me I looked older and I was able to get in clubs it was koo lol.

Just roll with it, I'm 25 but a lot of times people think I'm 17 and give me bad looks for having three kids in tow.. My neighbour is 30 with 5 kids and she looks early 20s... So just embrace it. Because seriously when your 40 and look early 30 you'll be sooo happy!

When I was in high school I always looked older than I was, probably because I am tall (5'8) and with big boobs lol I guess my body matured quickly. When I was a sophomore students thought I was a senior. This really annoyed me and made me feel self conscious about myself. However, eventually I grew into my "mature look". And now I am 23, people usually either guess my age right to the point. Once, however, a librarian though I was 18 😂 oh that was sweet :D

Embrace it. Honestly when you get way older you will love looking younger.
For me I have been seated at bars since I was 13, and even my teachers think I'm a senior now. I only turned 16 in December

Haha I'm going to be 20 and get mistaken for 15 all the time, too! However, heavier makeup and shorter hair (bobs, no bangs for example) can make you look older.. Lol,

Embrace it and appreciate it. When I was 18 I looked 12. It bothered me big time. But as I got older I started to embrace it rather than mask it with a whole bunch of makeup. I'm 41 now and people guess that I'm half that and you know what...it feels real dang good to hear that from complete strangers because right now I'm dealing with menopause so sometimes I don't feel so pretty on the outside. Don't be in a rush to age yourself.

Definitely more makeup, darker matte lips will make you look older...but as everyone else said, embrace it!
Now I'm just being silly, but I tried making myself look older last month! Lol

People think I'm 12 and I'm going to be 20 as well. People also think my mom is my sister or that she's in her early 20s and she's 37 (sorry mom). Embrace the fact that you look young. When you're older you're going to wish you did.

I think a lot of 18 - 23 yr olds look very young and they are in reality. At that age lots of young women still have very youthful faces. Generally 20 yr olds (at least all the girls I know) are always mistaken for 16 or 17 year olds :)
