Funny how we spend our younger years wanting to look older, and the rest of our lives trying just the opposite.
I was reading on some site about perception of age. You can take a woman in her 50s and one in her 20s and look at them from 50ft. At that distance you cant see wrinkles....so what is it that distinguishes the gap. Hair style,hair color, body shape, posture, clothing...ect...
I walk my daughters home from school everyday. I'm only 5 ft tall...usually wear jeans, hair in a ponytail...and very thin...I'll put my daughters backpack on to carry it for her. I was amazed...and very scared at the amount of creepy men in cars who slowed down to look...assuming i was a young girl. Well until they got close enough and realized I was obviously a bit older.
I dont think makeup really makes you look much older....but posture, haircut, clothing will.
