Laura's only 14.....

I don't think this sentence is correct, “ Laura's only 14, but when she puts make-up on, you would think she was 17.” Shouldn't it be “you would think that she is 17”?

It's fine. 'would think that' (or any similar verb with 'would') is typically followed by a past tense, even though it might mean present time. CJ
