How to look older

[chuy]

I agree with wanting to look older in order to gain respect. Madalas din ako mapagkamalan na 5-10 years younger. When I was working in an office, masyado ako binebaby at minsan napagkakamalan pa na fresh grad ng mga bagong salta sa office. I'm an engineer BTW at ang mga kasama ko sa work karamihan mga matatanda na at mga lalake. I don't wear makeup o kahit powder kasi kaya siguro lalo ako napagkakamalan na mas bata.

I also experienced yung nasabihan na "bakit ka nagpabuntis agad?Ang bata bata mo pa." Sinabi yun sa akin directly. I simply answered "hindi na ako bata. 29 na ako." The person thought I was only 20 or 21 even though I'm turning 30 that time.

For me, kahit siguro gaano kaayos ang outfit, kung talagang youthful ka tignan, mapagkakamalan ka talagang mas bata. It's also in the genes. My dad is 65+ pero napagkakamalan pa siyang nasa 40s so I guess just embrace your youthfulness while you can

I get the "you look a lot younger than your age" a lot. Flattering pero minsan disadvantage especially when I'm applying for a job. Akala lagi fresh grad ako and I wasn't taken seriously. Or if nasa mall ako akala ng mga tindera estudyante ako at wala akong pambili. Or nagugulat mga tao pag sinabi kong matagal na akong kasal, sana raw nag enjoy muna ako sa youth ko bakit ako agad nag-asawa (eh trenta na ko nung ikasal). At natatakot na asawa ko kasi raw baka pag 50 na ako ganito pa rin itsura ko tapos sya mukha ng tanders baka mapagkamalan daw syang pedophile. Sometimes I change my hairstyle to look like my age, kaso sabi ni hubby hindi rin daw effective. So keribels na lang, matuwa na lang tayo that we are graced with youthful face.

Nung nagstart ako magwork at 21 years old natuto ako magayos to look older kasi kailangan talaga para hindi ako magmukhang nawawalang bata. Engineering company pa naman din so parang baby ang turing sakin ng mga co-worker ko. Tips: Thinner, arched eyebrows, blush na plum color na medyo sharp sa may cheekbones (wag sa apples), brick red or red-brown lipstick, eye makeup na dark crease, and aside from good office wear, structured leather handbag (wag slouchy styles), metallic watch. Nails ko naka manicure with nude pink shade or french tip. Earrings na medyo malaki. Wag pearl earrings, in my experience, kasi with a youthful face medyo kolehiyala ang dating. No ponytails! Yung bangs ko pinahaba ko tapos nakagel and hairpin to the side. If you want to keep your hair long learn french braid tapos yung natirang tail i-roll up mo into a bun and pin in place. Tapos hairspray. Maganda din low rope braid tapos twist mo into a bun.

Ngayon naman I do the opposite to look younger: thicker brows, light eye makeup, rosy blush and natural lips. Hay, kung maibabalik lang ang kahapon.
