TikToker, Kaci Shiers, has taken to the platform to share with her 1.2 million followers just how easily the hack can be achieved.
The woman has a whole bunch of videos on her page praising the miracle of 'mewing' also dubbing it her 'party trick'.
In one video, which has since clocked up more than 4.8 million views, Kaci wrote in overlay text: "So you don't have a special trick to get a jawline? Contouring? Gua sha? Filler?" as she shook her head from side to side.

The text then read: "Mewing?" to which she performed the incredible trick.
Another video sees the content creator re-enacting a scene I'm sure we know all too well.
"Noticing someone taking a picture from the side," the text read as Kaci showed just how easy and quick it was to 'mew'.
So what on earth actually is it and what kind of witchcraft is Kaci actually doing?
Well, the technique requires people to place their tongues on the roof of their mouth which makes the jaw look more square.
