Although it’s always good to be #forever21, some women prefer not to look like little girls. The average height of a Singaporean woman is 158cm, which is slightly on the petite side. Therefore, some women just tend to look more immature and teenager-ish, not that it is a bad thing of course!

However, if you feel like you are not being taken seriously by your colleagues and superiors because you don’t look a day older than 21, try out these types of make-up to look more mature!

Use neutral eyeshadows
Bright colours are usually associated with younger people. Go for neutral colours like grey, brown or nude in the office so that you look more toned-down and mature.

Use red lipstick
Of course, you have to pick the right red. Pick a blue-ish undertoned red if you have a fairer complexion or a dark maroon if you are slightly more tanned. Also, red is the best at drawing out maturity, yet being stylish at the same time.

Contour your face
One of the reasons why ladies tend to look young is because of their baby fats and slightly rounder face shape. Contouring will help to make your face more angular and highlight your bone structure.

Tightline, instead of eye-lining
Eyeliner is more of a youthful trademark. If you want to open up your eyes and give the impression of fuller eyelashes, use eyeliner between your lashes rather than on your eyelid.

Light make-up
Wearing heavy make-up is a no-no if you want to look sophisticated and mature. Painting your whole face makes you look like a teen beauty junkie who wants to be a Youtube star. Opt for light powder foundation and don’t go all out on your eyeshadow too!
