Meagan Anderson took to social media after trying the hack saying: "Why did this work so well? This should not have f***ing worked."
The simple trick took just seconds and instantly made her face look more lifted without the need of Botox or any fancy creams.
In the clip, she showed how to do it and it's all to do with where you place your normal concealer.

Of course, you want to make sure the make-up product is a couple of shades lighter than your foundations - as this will provide the lifting effect.
The 48-year-old added: "We're bringing light to mature places because why? Listen, ladies, if you're over 35, we are working against gravity here.”
During the make-up demonstration she placed dabs of concealer in six places.
The beauty whizz first started with the marionette lines around the mouth, above and below the lips, under the inner and outer corner of the eye and just above the peak of the eyebrow.
She then took a beauty sponge and dabbed the product in instead of blending it in to create a more defined look and set it in place with pwoder.

She revealed that you want to apply it higher to pull the facial features up instead of down.
Meagan then added blush to her cheeks and finished the look with some highlighter on the places she applied the concealer to catch the light.
"15 years off my face, not 10, 15," she said in shock as she looked at the transformation
The clip posted to her TikTok account @meaganonline has since gone viral with over 15,000 views.
