I'm with Ratsqueak: You get your Cutie Mark when you find your true self/destiny, no matter how old you are.

For example: Celestia and Luna are about as old as they appear in the show in the Journal of the Two Sisters, and they had not gained their Cutie Marks yet until they first attempted to lower the moon and raise the sun when asked to assume Guardianship of them from Star Swirl. Once they were able to do so, they were revitalized as a result, and gained their Cutie Marks as well.
