Now I've got ID the bastards never ask me... eeesh
Anyways...body language is a big givaway. Looking down, scared, etc and they know.
So head up, eye contact and look like you go every week.
Too much make up is worse than too little.
Experiment with your hair and ask your mum, sister(s)?, friends what they think and you really need to see.
Also wearing too dressy clothes is a giveaway for the underagers.
So if your going in in a group try and position yourself in the middle.
Good luck and have fun
I think confidence helps so when you're walking in walk head up and that. Wear something like jeans, heels and a nice top.
If you're with a big group of people that are older you should be okay, I usually found that I would get ID'ed if I was with people my age or 18/19. So if there's any one about 30-ish hang on to them.
Also helps if you've had a few before you try for confidence.
Good luck and have fun !
I'm gonna have wee muck about with hair and make up tonight and see what works
So borrow someone elses!!!
I can relate to that.
Does just straightened seem alright?
My hair is about shoulder length with layers cut in
yeah fine.
Dunno just wondering if i was going over the top with the red at this point
