Dear concealer, I love you. Like most people, I'd hail concealer as my desert-island beauty product because whether you want something to quickly erase dark circles or have a spot you want to banish (thanks, maskne), concealer is the superman of skin correcting. Plus, it takes two seconds to dot a spot of concealer on your skin, and the results are instant and astounding.
And just when I thought I couldn't love concealer any more, a viral TikTok beauty tutorial proved the humble concealer has yet another talent—face-lifting powers.
The TikTok beauty tutorial from Megha Singh is blowing up on the social media app after the beauty maven showed how to create a “face-lift” effect by using concealer.
In the video Singh can be seen swiping concealer across particular points of her face—like up to the outer corner of her eye, along the curve of her mouth, and at the inner contour of her eye—to create a lifting effect. After blending in the concealer with a BeautyBlender, she contrasts the left and right side of her face to show the dramatic results.

Pretty damn impressive.
The video has been liked hundreds of thousands of times by her followers who have copied the hack themselves to emulate a face-lift at home. Just look at how transformative it is.
