I’m 59 but don’t look it – my go-to contouring makeup trick will make you look years younger | The Sun

A WOMAN has shared the go-to contouring makeup tip that makes her appear way younger and confuses people with her youthful look.

Apparently, you've been contouring all wrong, and the media professional has shared the trick in her makeup routine that takes years off her face and promotes anti-aging.


Asian-American Cynthia Gouw, 59, has a youthful appearance on and off the social platform and frequently posts about her daily happenings, skincare regimen, and promising career.

In a TikTok video, she loops viewers into the anti-aging tricks she learned from another user, including a contouring secret that completely redefines how she contours her face and appears to turn back time.

Gouw is no stranger to the camera and works as a professional model, actress, and journalist when she's not growing her TikTok following.

So it comes as no surprise that the media professional has learned some valuable tricks from her years of being in the industry.

Gouw begins the video wearing only a thin layer of foundation and concealer on her face.

"I am officially obsessed with this way of contouring your face, for any face, any age," she says at the start of the video.

She proceeds to thank TikTok user @ericataylor2347 for introducing her to the makeup hack.

In the video, the content creator applies her new makeup tricks to the left side of her face and her old ways of application to the right side of her face to show the youthful difference.

The 59-year-old then pulls out a contour stick to show viewers in real time the hack on her skin.

"I'm a woman of a certain age and I was taught to put my contour right down here to emphasize my cheeks, but Erica Taylor says contour up higher, " she demonstrates.

The beauty tip is to not contour in the hollow of your cheeks but to instead contour much higher on the cheek itself.

She applies the contour stick to both sides of her cheeks to show the difference and lifting effect of Taylor's tip on the face.

Gouw looks years younger on the left side of her face just from one swipe of the stick to her cheek.

The right side seems hollowed out, while the left side seems lifted.

She also admits that growing up she was taught to put blush on the apples of her cheeks, but Taylor's advice has shifted her way of thinking.

"Then I was taught to put blush on the apples of my cheeks, but instead, put the blush on the very top area," she says.

Placing blush on the highest part of your cheekbones creates a lifted and slimming effect on the face.

The final anti-aging makeup hack she shares is how to apply a highlighter to certain parts of the face to pull it back.

She uses the JLO Beauty J. Lo That Star Filter Highlighting Complexion Booster, $39, in the shade Pink Champagne.

"I just put a little bit on my finger here and put it under my eyebrows and the very top of my cheekbones," she explains.

Gouw then shows the completed makeup look to viewers.

"So, look at the difference. I'm completely lifted here and here I'm pulling down," she says as she references her face.

The stark contrast is very noticeable and viewers thought the same.
