Looking at the photos of these stars, one cannot help but be surprised.

Many stars look stunning, but some especially - sometimes it seems that they have found real way stop time. In this collection you will find famous beauties whose age is almost impossible to guess by their appearance.

(Total 13 photos)

It seems that the top model, who received the nickname "The Body" from colleagues and journalists, has not changed at all for the past 20 years. McPherson is absolutely not afraid of the paparazzi: the Internet is full of her photos without makeup or in a bikini. And in the case of El, there is nothing for lovers to slander: both the figure and the face of the model are in perfect order. What's the secret? “First and foremost, I believe in healthy eating, 8-hour sleep and daily workouts,” says the top model. She admits that with age, it is becoming more and more difficult for her to keep her figure. Now the only treat she can afford is a cup of hot chocolate in the morning. Elle also tries to minimize the use of makeup products, which, in her opinion, age the skin. An ambiguous beauty rule, but apparently it works for the model.

Everyone who has ever seen the famous TV presenter live, notes her rare aristocratic beauty and natural grace. Unlike many celebrities, Sati does not hide her age and willingly shares her beauty secrets: “I am 52, but I did not do any braces - I swear! Otherwise, my husband will divorce me, a close friend will stop communicating, and my daughters will boycott me. And yet I never say never. So far, Bellefontaine mesotherapy and Joel Siocco's buccal massage, which is performed from the side of the oral mucosa, are helping me. I also did ultrasonic lifting on the Ulthera System - a painful but effective technique.

At her age, the actress wears a mini with pleasure and does not refuse pictures with explicit scenes. If you don't believe me, watch the recent film The Passion of Don Juan. In an interview, the actress shared the secrets of beauty and good shape: “My mother (she is from Scotland) taught me to beware of the sun and use products with SPF. I also try to eat right, eat fresh fish and organic vegetables. I exercise regularly - yoga and jogging 3-4 times a week. Sometimes I go on a detox diet without alcohol, sugar and starchy foods. Per a short time amazing results can be achieved. But to be honest, in my youth I was more disciplined in terms of sports and nutrition. Perhaps now I realized - life is too short to deny yourself small pleasures.

Large-scale concert tours, ongoing projects to create clothing collections and cosmetics lines, work in films and a recording studio - it seems that the pop diva knows the secret of not only eternal youth, but also continuous energy. From time to time, photos from the series “star after Botox injections” or “Madonna made a facelift” get on the Internet. We are ready to forgive the singer for small (or is it big?) female tricks, thanks to them she remains a role model for millions of fans. In addition, this does not affect either the talent or the performance of Madonna. By the way, she herself claims that she has never done plastic surgery, and she owes her blooming appearance exclusively to young lovers.

"My ex-husband called me Dorian Gray, and himself - his portrait, - Sharon Stone joked in a recent interview with ELLE and added: - The older I get, the more I move away from the image of a fatal temptress, for whom men are ready to go to the ends of the world. As I got older, I began to see beauty differently. I cannot ignore the changes that are happening to my face and body. In addition, I get up every day at six in the morning to cook breakfast for my sons, so there is simply no time to feel sexy. It seems to us that the actress is a little deceitful: she regularly appears on the red carpet in charming outfits with a revealing neckline and poses for men's magazines in underwear. At the same time, a stunning figure, slender legs and a chiseled oval face of Sharon can cause envy not only among peers, but also among younger colleagues in the shop.

Over the appearance of the blonde American model Christie Brinkley, age and time, apparently, really have no power. Her career in the fashion business spans over 40 years, during which the beauty has appeared on at least 500 covers. At 60, Kristi, a mother of three, looks 30 and easily beats some 20-year-olds. A well-proportioned athletic figure, which Brinki still boasts of today, once served as a prototype for the creation of a Barbie doll. It is understandable why popular men's magazines from year to year put her on the list of the sexiest and most desirable women on the planet. Staying in shape helps Christie daily workouts on the simulators, yoga, running and water sports, which she loves. Not without food restrictions. In the black list of the model - sweets, meat and dairy products. By the way, Brinki does not hide the fact that he regularly uses the services of plastic surgeons and cosmetologists. However, we must give them their due: they managed to save all the characteristic facial features and facial expressions of Christie. Fine work!

Actress Sigourney Weaver has always been distinguished by her tall height (182 cm) and athletic fit figure. Largely due to these data, Sigourney was approved for the brutal role of the officer of the spaceship Ripley in the cult movie saga Alien. Despite the shaved bald head (Alien, 1979), the lack of makeup and deliberately masculine outfits (military-style overalls, leather uniforms, etc.), Weaver managed to look feminine. After the release of the fantastic thriller, she was even given the title of a sex symbol. With age, the actress has not lost her attractiveness, keeping her body in great shape. At 52, she played the role of an insidious seductress in the comedy Heartbreakers (2001). In some scenes, she appears in a revealing lace leotard and, I must say, looks very convincing in it, even against the background of her young partner in the picture, Jennifer Love Hewitt. Now Sigourney is 64, and she is still slim and youthful. At the same time, in various interviews, Weaver has repeatedly admitted that she is not a fan cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery. The secret of excellent health and appearance lies in moderate nutrition, fasting days, an active lifestyle and constant protection of the skin from the sun. Although, perhaps, genetics also played a role here: Sigourney's mother lived to be 94 years old.

The image of the honored singer Sofia Rotaru was formed long ago. Dark flowing hair, parted in the middle, brightly defined eyes and spectacular outfits. The burning brunette has been rightfully considered one of the most beautiful women throughout the post-Soviet space. According to the singer, she tries to bypass the offices of plastic surgeons. But he respects gardening (at the same time, a lot of calories are also burned!) And sports, which he has been doing since childhood. In nutrition, Sofia Mikhailovna adheres to a rational approach: she eats in small portions and only healthy natural products. And if you need to get rid of a couple of extra pounds, he goes on a 9-day diet: three days of boiled rice, three days of vegetables and three days of fruit. We take note.

The grandchildren do not call her grandmother, using a short secret name that journalists try in vain to ferret out. Of course, Katrin is no longer the seductive girl with blond curls and huge eyes from the movie "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg". However, in her age, a true Frenchwoman looks chic with a minimum of effort. Katrin loves to eat delicious food, does not refuse a glass of wine, and besides, she can often be seen with a cigarette. The actress considers her beauty hereditary and thanks for the youthful appearance mother's genes. She also tries to sleep well and for a long time, every week she does a special drainage facial massage and does not forget about sun protection. Agree, not the most difficult rules?

On the big screens, Raquel Welch has not appeared for almost 20 years, but she still lives up to the title of sex symbol that was assigned to her many years ago. The road to Hollywood in the 1960s was opened to her by the film “Million Years BC”, in which the actress flaunted in a revealing outfit made of animal skins. In subsequent films, the directors actively imposed on Raquel the image of a sexy thing in a swimsuit. Now the actress does not act in films, but earnestly takes care of herself, practices yoga, visits cosmetologists and does makeup and styling every day.

The head of the fashion house Carolina Herrera always looks perfect - elegant styling, make-up with bright lipstick, clothes that emphasize a thin waist. In her venerable years, Carolina Herrera Sr. does not just follow fashion trends She creates them! The designer tries to spend as much time as possible among young people, this helps her to keep abreast of all world events and innovations. Moreover, Carolina Herrera is trying to learn something new: in 2012 she sat down at the Fashion Institute in New York and received a doctorate in fine arts. Apparently, such a positive attitude towards life is bearing fruit, reflected in the appearance of Mrs. Herrera.

The name of this actress is strongly associated with aerobics. In the 1990s, girls from all over the world practiced under video cassettes with exercises from Jane Fonda. By the way, she still records and releases her master classes. Only now they are addressed to women over 50 years old. Exercises do not involve special physical activity, but help to maintain tone and recharge your batteries. Jane herself is a living example of the effectiveness of her techniques: in tight dresses on the red carpet, she looks no worse than 30 years ago.

“It's hard to become irresistible if you're lazy,” this saying of a witty Italian has long been an aphorism. Senora Lauren tries to follow her rule, regardless of the years. She wakes up early, always does gymnastics, walks a lot in the fresh air, eats only healthy food (fruits, vegetables, fish) and leads an active social life. One of the secrets of beauty, the actress calls olive oil extra virgin. She adds it to salads, puts it on her skin and hair. By the way, in 2007, Sophia Loren, who was then 72 years old, starred for the famous Pirelli calendar, proudly showing the world her feminine figure. And it seems that today nothing prevents her from repeating this bold step.

“Today they didn’t sell me alcohol in the store”, “They asked me for a passport when I ordered a glass of wine” - you must have often heard such phrases from acquaintances and girlfriends. Sometimes, in response to such a story, you really want to say: “That's right, you really look much younger,” and in other cases, you can only nod understandingly so as not to seem impolite. The phenomenon of how we tend to evaluate our own age and how our assessment correlates with the assessment of others is of interest to both ordinary people and scientists. Before moving on to the signs of youth, let's find out what the latter think about this.

Forever Young

The problem of age perception has long been actively studied by psychologists. Scientists have even identified a special term - subjective age. They denote the attitude of the person himself to his own age, and there are several grounds for evaluation: How old do you feel, how old do you look and how old do you act?(this includes an assessment of one's own interests, hobbies, work, etc.). We are interested in the second point - how old we look a) in my own opinion, b) in the opinion of others. In the West, research in this area began in the 1960s. Domestic psychologists took care of the problem a little later, but they are also actively developing it.

In 2013, the journal Psychological Research published the results of a study of several age groups: from 20 to 30 years, from 40 to 50 and from 60 to 70 years. During it, it became clear that the majority of respondents in all age groups tend to think they look younger than their age. If we summarize the data, it turns out that, on average, we believe that we look 4-5 years younger than our real age. And after 25 years, the tendency to consider yourself younger is only gaining momentum.

There is another interesting detail: when people are asked to guess the age of others from photographs, they are rarely wrong. Often the error is less than a year, sometimes up to two years.

In world psychology, our tendency to consider ourselves younger than our calendar age is explained by psychological defense mechanism: a person wants to somehow cope with the problem of aging and not lose his place in a society focused on youth.

Signs that you look younger than your age

So how do we know if we really look younger or are just happy to be deceived by looking at our own reflection in the mirror? There are several signs that will help determine this. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to get an accurate objective assessment using this list, but it will help you to navigate.

1. Corner of youth

A clear line of the lower jaw and a pronounced obtuse angle that it forms from the side greatly affect the perception of the face. When the line is vague (and it happens even in young people), the face immediately visually adds 4-5 years.

2. Invisible pores

“Think of a pore upright, it looks like a V,” says Amy Wexler, a US dermatologist. - That is, at the base it is narrower, and closer to the surface of the skin it expands. Enlarged pores tend to make you look older.”

It is unlikely that pore size can be radically changed with the help of cosmetics, because this parameter (like almost everything in our appearance) is determined by genetics, but regular cleansing and exfoliation will help improve the situation, the doctor explains.

3. No freckles on chest and arms

Pigmentation is often a sign of age. And now we are not talking about cute freckles on a obviously young or even teenage face, but about placers of dark spots on the chest, shoulders and arms. According to the same doctor Wexler, they immediately add up to 10 years to the appearance.

4. Thick natural eyebrows

Recently, the role of eyebrows in the architecture of the face has been appreciated to the maximum - and this plays a cruel joke with many. Girls begin to draw a non-existent volume, width and length, being overly carried away and going beyond the limits of reason. Therefore, we do not propose to consider eyebrows drawn with too generous a hand as a sign of youth. But real, thick, beautifully shaped eyebrows - quite. By the way, the stars also prove the validity of this rule by their own example: for example, the top insta blogger Natalya Davydova (Aunt Motya) admitted that she had an eyebrow transplant because she could not grow natural ones, and this procedure instantly transformed her face.

5. Face without puffiness

Photo: LEGION-MEDIA

Excessive puffiness is clearly not a sign of youth and freshness, but the so-called “pillow face” immediately adds at least a dozen years to its owner. Remember, for example: a quite young girl in recent photos looked like a mature woman only because, according to rumors, she was fond of alcohol and illegal drugs. Lohan's face has become too puffy for her age, her cheekbones have ceased to stand out, that very “corner of youth” has blurred. The same trouble overtook Madonna, but for a different reason: the pop queen was carried away by fillers based on hyaluronic acid. And they, in turn, attract and accumulate water around them, which is already in the body. As a result, the singer got the opposite effect of what she wanted: she not only did not look younger, but also visually added a few years to herself.

6. Strong nails without yellowness

Hands betray age, and this thesis is not new. However, this is not only about the condition of the skin on the hands, but also about the nails. An interesting study was published in the American Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery on how people perceive nails. Respondents were asked to estimate the age of several people by their hands. They were given two types of photographs: photographs of brushes with bare nails, and photographs of hands with polished nails and jewelry on their fingers. It turned out that hands with unvarnished nails are perceived as older. This is most likely due to the fact that the varnish covers the yellowness, uneven nail relief and other imperfections. Researchers have concluded that unkempt nails can add up to five years to your actual age.

7. Ease of movement

It's not just our appearance that influences our perception of others. How we move plays a significant role. It is known that the movements of young people (or those who are perceived as young) are wider, more active, more energetic. For example, young people often turn their whole body, and not just their head, when they need to look back or to the sides. They do not save energy by intuitively trying to move more "sparsely", as usually happens with age.

How old is Millie Bobby Brown, and how does Jennifer Lopez keep her figure at 49? There are 10 girls on BeautyHack who look younger or older than their real age.

Kate Upton

Kate has been modeling since 2008. Then she signed her first modeling contract with Elite Model Management. The girl's portfolio includes covers for Maxim, Shape, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Glamor magazines. In 2016, Kate became the face of Bobbi Brown. More regalia - 18th place in the list of the sexiest women in the world according to FHM and the most sexy woman planets according to Maxim magazine in 2018. Now Kate is pregnant and, together with her husband, baseball player Justin Verlander, is expecting their first child. Do you think the girl managed to do all this by the age of 30? On June 10, the model turned only 26.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer is 49 years old. She looks very commendable! On the one hand, the singer does not stop working hard on her figure (she regularly does push-ups and planks and trains with her instructor David Kirsch, how exactly - read on) and gives concerts (the photo above was taken just after one of them). And on the other hand, does not refuse the help of cosmetologists. The head physician of the Remedy Lab clinic, Tatyana Bykovskaya, says that J. Lo does hardware lifting, botulinum toxin injections, biorevitalization and mesotherapy courses. It is also believed that Lopez resorted to a circular lift.

Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan has been acting in films since 1997. Then the actress was 12 years old. Now still young, Carey is 33 years old. Her most famous roles are Daisy in The Great Gatsby and Jenny in Education. No matter how hard the make-up artists try, the girl always looks younger on the set. Red carpets are no exception. It's about romantic hairstyles and polka-dot outfits. And even wine lipstick does not make her look older.

AT real life Carey is a mother of two children, she gave birth to her second child in 2017.

Bella Hadid

Bella is 21 years old. And it's really hard to believe! Perhaps because everyone saw pictures of the girl before her modeling career, or her name has been around for an eternity (in fact, four years old - then Bella was only 17). Natalya Grigoryeva, managing partner of the Premium Aesthetics clinic, explains that in order to meet model standards, Hadid underwent rhinoplasty several times, removed Bish's lumps and increased upper lip fillers. This whole story has only one nuance - the “new” appearance adds ten years to Bella. By the way, in one of the interviews, the model admitted that her icon is Cher (more facts about the star - by).

Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown is a different story. She is only 14, which is impossible to guess without knowing the actress personally. In the photo from the red carpet, she looks 25, although she also gets "young" roles. The most famous is Eleven from Stranger Things. Millie began acting on the show in 2016 and received an Emmy Award nomination.

For a year now, Millie has been representing IMG Models, and in January 2018 she became the face of Calvin Klein.

Bella Thorne

Bella Thorne first appeared on screen in 2003 when she was 6 years old. By simple calculations, it is easy to understand that now she is only 20, and the actress has already managed to say goodbye to her career in TV shows and took up a full-length movie. Bella plays young girls (high school students, for example), but in life she looks 25+. It's all the fault of either bright makeup on the red carpet, or candid photos in Instagram Millionaire.

Lily Rose Depp

Lily-Rose's parents are Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. Therefore, the girl grew up on the set. But she herself got into the frame relatively late, starring in the 2014 film "Tusk" in the company of her father. Then she was 15 years old. But the girl became famous all over the world later - when she closed the Chanel show arm in arm with Karl Lagerfeld. Now Lily is 19, and she is friends with Kristen Stewart, with whom they seem to be the same age (although Kristen turned 28 in April).

Hailee Steinfeld

Hailey owes her popularity to the Coen brothers, who gave the 14-year-old actress a role in the film "Iron Grit" in 2010. And if Steinfeld really looks (and plays) a teenager in the western, then three years later in Romeo and Juliet there is not a trace left of the child. Now she is only 21, and even in Instagram she looks much older.

Alyson Hannigan

Fans of the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and the movie "American Pie" will shudder now: Alison turned 44 in March 2018, and her two daughters are growing up, who this year went to 1st and 4th grades. Infectious smile, red hair color and always fresh look (without filters in Instagram) - everything, as in the best roles of Hannigan in the 90s.

Anna Kendrick

Anna, who presented the film A Simple Favor with Blake Lively in September, turned 33. It's hard to believe, because back in 2012 she played a schoolgirl in Twilight. Despite her youthful appearance, Anna's track record is impressive - 47 films and one Oscar nomination for the film Up in the Sky, in which George Clooney was the girl's partner.

It's almost a bad taste to look your age these days. Women are ready to give all their money and soul in addition to hear the cherished: “You will never give your age!” Yes, and men have not considered their years as wealth for a long time, although they do not demonstrate this so clearly. Against this background, it seems even strange that there are people who consider too young a look to be a real problem.

And they are. We tried to find out what prevents those who look 10 years younger than their age from living.

Daria, 27 years old: “They will crush the child!”

- It's nice to look younger than your age, but it often gets in the way. I worked as a promoter in a shopping center, and every day a woman came up to me and said that the employer has no right to exploit me for 10 hours, because I am a minor, and this is a violation Labor Code. I could not convince her that I had already graduated from the institute. At rush hour, aunts on the bus usually shout, looking at me: put the child in, otherwise they will crush him!

Maria, 26 years old: “Everyone is rude to me!”

- I almost do not paint, I wear a backpack, overalls and panama. I am twenty-seven, but even the doctors at first decide that I am seventeen years old at the most. There is only one concern: having automatically decided that I have not even crossed the threshold of adulthood, people often treat me condescendingly, if not rudely. It is especially difficult to deal with the official world of Russia like passport offices and hospitals. There, everyone is always rude to me: from those waiting to receiving. True, as soon as they find out that I will soon be thirty, they fall into confusion - a clear illustration of "expectations and reality." Such dynamics are especially offensive: why don't I deserve the same detailed, calm tone of communication if I am N years younger than you thought?

Andrey, 29 years old: “They demanded to return the car to their parents!”

Because of my teenage appearance, I look 14, so I can't arrange a personal life. It is difficult to find a girl who wants to look older than her man. I dreamed of working as a driver, but they constantly stop me and check my documents at every post. When they see age, they are surprised. A couple of times I was stopped in the middle of the road and demanded to return the car to my parents. When I showed the rights and invited to my 30th birthday, they apologized. You have to travel by metro and bus, because you never know how the trip by car will end.

Marina, 36 years old: “They decided that I was a young mother!”

- I'm petite, not tall. The clients at the bank did not perceive me because I looked like a teenager. I had to add years to myself with "age" hairstyles and strict clothes. And when I got married and my husband and I moved to new house, neighbors started asking questions. When my daughter was born, I began to go outside with a stroller and noticed that the grandmothers at the entrance were looking at me somehow askance. Once I heard how they discuss me. They decided that I was a young mother, although I was already 27. Once in kindergarten the new teacher, giving me the child, muttered that the parents themselves could come for their daughter, and not send a sister for her. But I can wear youth clothes And I don't look stupid in it. My daughter and I buy children's store identical funny t-shirts or sundresses for a family look. And on the playground, I can climb any ladder or slide with my child.

Evgenia, 27 years old: “They didn’t hire me!”

I have always looked 10 years younger than my age. Because of this, I was not hired by a bank, despite having a red diploma. Although at the university I could not learn anything at all, the teachers were ready to give me grades for the angelic look. I tried to make up more, but it looks ridiculous. I'm married but not ready to have kids yet because I feel like I'm half a child.

Irina, 42: “He just didn’t know what to do!”

- It turned out funny with my second husband. I fell in love so that for the first time in my life I began to take more or less active steps, made it clear that I wanted to meet him. And he just didn't know what to do. I am 39, I looked young, the men were surprised, they say, a maximum of 32 can be given. And he is almost 50, and he thought that the difference between us is 18-20 years. And now he almost shied away from me, they say, why does he need such big difference, he wanted a family, he was looking for a woman a little younger than himself, but obviously not for almost 20 years! When I found out my age, I exhaled straight and relaxed, began to make appointments.

- I'm 26, but I look outwardly at a maximum of 16! This gives me great inconvenience! It's okay that the store asks for a passport, I'm used to it. Although it's funny to see how the sellers' eyes widen when they see my date of birth. In the hospital, when I go through medical examinations, they also constantly ask how old they are, like, boy, do you need to go to the children's hospital - it infuriates! When I meet on the Internet without a photo, they give me 25 years of communication, but when I show my photo, they write: don’t lie, it’s not you! But those who like it, and especially those who are older and we are on the same level in communication, always do not let go beyond the friend zone ... Sometimes I just negotiate with available girls, because I am not interested in my peers, and youngsters are not interesting to me.

Olga, 27: “They thought I was 12!”

- I have long been accustomed to the fact that they do not sell alcohol to me, so at the checkout I immediately show my passport, without waiting for questions. The funniest incident happened at the wedding of a cousin. The guests opposite noticed that I had a bottle of whiskey in my hands, and they said: “Try a little, and then give it to adults, okay?” They thought that I was 12. Friends reassure me that at 40 I will look 30, but now this does not make it any easier.

Tatyana, 28 years old: “I was late for the lesson!”

- Pupils also sometimes think that I am still at school, and colleagues take me for a student. Last winter, I went to the school where I work, I stood waiting for my glasses to sweat, then the janitor came up to me and asked so warmly: “What, were you late for the lesson?”

Anastasia, 30: “How did you get such an expensive camera?”

- I have long been accustomed to the fact that they give me approximately 22-23 years old, and if without makeup, then generally 16-17 years old. The matter is aggravated by my short height - 160 cm, natural blonde hair and baby dimples on the cheeks. Funny situations happen in connection with my occupation. I am a photographer (I shoot weddings, portraits and so on). And a couple of times when I came to shoot, the groom's parents, for example, or other people who didn't know my face, came up to me and said: “Girl, when will the photographer come? How did she trust you to keep such expensive equipment? ..” I laugh, and they blush and turn pale with embarrassment when it turns out that I am a photographer, and not just guarding the camera ...

Are you tired of being confused with your younger brother or sister? You may look older and seem more mature than you really are. Just watch how you dress and how you act, and people will start to think that you are older.

Steps

Wear the right clothes

    Get rid of teenage fancy clothes. One of the components by which we are judged is clothing. What we wear can affect the opinions of others about us. If you want to look older, stop wearing teen clothes. Start buying things in other departments of stores. Just walk on by children's department and head to the adult section. In the usual children's departments, you will find clothes made of cheap, thin and translucent materials that give baby look. Consider wearing good material instead.

    Wear clothes in your size. Swap baggy clothes for tighter ones. You don't need clothes to completely absorb you. This style gives you an unsightly and unkempt look. On the contrary, tightly fitting clothes give an immature and youthful appearance.

    Don't wear graphic t-shirts. A T-shirt with some kind of logo or a funny inscription speaks of the immaturity of a person. This includes brand names, logos, and so on. If you want to look mature, remove t-shirts from your wardrobe altogether.

    Wear quality jeans. Jeans are an integral part of the wardrobe of any person, regardless of age. However, you should choose your jeans more carefully if you want to look older. Buy jeans exclusively good quality. Make sure they are not high or low waisted.

    • Guys should only buy straight jeans. Girls can also purchase with slightly flared legs, loose or tight jeans. If you decide to buy skinny jeans, make sure you don't feel too tight in them.
    • Change highlights or ripped jeans for darker models. You should not walk in jeans with rhinestones or other accessories.

  1. Wear the right shoes. Complete your look with a selection the right shoes. Do not walk in sneakers or shoes made of fabric. You should also not wear too flashy shoes. If you are a girl, it is not at all necessary to wear shoes with very high heels or overly sophisticated style. Regardless of gender, you should not wear slates. Instead, it is better to purchase durable shoes.

    • Guys better wear boots. Black boots look good with almost any outfit. Leather boots with lacing can also be matched with all types of clothing. Moccasins are also handy when you don't want to wear boots. Patent leather shoes give a mature look.
    • Girls are advised to wear high heels. However, heels should not be very high. If you don't want to wear high shoes, get ballet flats. Sandals will look good in summer.

  2. Dress smartly. This is another way to look mature. Present yourself as a neat, professional person. This will help people see you as an adult, not a child.

    Get rid of your backpack. You should not take a backpack when you go somewhere, it makes you younger in the eyes of people. Guys are advised to carry a messenger bag or a leather briefcase. Girls can take a simple clutch or a small handbag.

  3. Develop your vocabulary. This does not mean that you should throw in long abstruse words in a conversation. This behavior will just give the impression that you are desperately trying to get attention. Concentrate more on removing childish and teenage words from your vocabulary that make you look childish. Speak slowly and meaningfully. choose Right words to express one thought or another.

    • Use difficult words. For example, use: "This is unusual idea!" - instead of: "This new idea". Ask to be open with you instead of being honest. The more a person has a vocabulary, the more mature and intelligent he seems.
    • Try not to overdo the use of slang. Avoid the word "clearly", use "in particular", "you see" in sentences. Try to eliminate the words "cool" and "dude" from your vocabulary. In correspondence, do not write words and sentences completely capital letters. This can be perceived as a harsh tone or even a shout. In most cases, profanity should also be avoided.

  4. Be prepared to stand up for yourself politely. If someone is disrespectful to you, you have the right to ask them to stop. After all, an important part of a mature person is that he or she is respectful. Be direct and say what you want. Try not to use sarcasm or an offensive tone. If you use sarcasm and offensive tone during jokes, you will look unattractive and are unlikely to achieve the results you are striving for.

    • For example, if someone interrupts you, ask them to wait and not interrupt themselves.
    • Don't say, "Wow, I can't believe you interrupted me! Some people don't know when to shut up."
    • Learn to let go. Everyone has unpleasant situations with people, but it is necessary to have the wisdom to know how to behave in a quarrel. Angry behavior or resentment can show your immaturity.
    • Often people don't even notice when you've been hurt. Therefore, be respectful of the feelings of others and sometimes even try not to notice mistakes or, if necessary, tell the interlocutor that he hurt you.
