A well-known “catfish” has gone viral after taking 20 years off her face in seconds during an incredible transformation.
Patricia Lichtenberger has previously hit the headlines after revealing her clever make-up tricks that fans say make her look decades younger.
Since starting her TikTok in 2016, where she showcases her brilliant talent, the 48-year-old has been dubbed a “catfish” – and she’s now gone viral once again.
In a video that has racked up over 46,000 views and thousands of likes, Patricia skilfully alters her face – with people saying she has gone from “45 to 25” in mere seconds.
“[When] I started posting my make-up videos, people called me ugly or would say: ‘What’s wrong with your face?’,” Patricia, who is originally from Texas, but living in Kansas, told NeedToKnow.co.uk
“They then called me a catfish and I knew what that was, but that wasn’t my mission.
“I wanted to share my before and after videos because for so long, those words cut so much and you get into depression, until you can finally get up and turn those negative comments into something bittersweet.
“So that day, I decided to make that video to show them. “So yeah, I guess I am a catfish!”
In the clip, she shows herself completely natural with no make-up or filters.
Then, Patricia swiftly transitions into a full face of make-up, including black eyeliner and a hot pink lipstick, with her hair positioned in an up-do.
Users have flocked to the comment section to share their reactions, with some people claiming she looks 20 years younger.
Shannon commented: “45 to 25.”

The self-proclaimed “Catfish Queen” hopes to show others the difference between natural beauty vs with makeup on in a bid to promote body positivity.
Patricia added: “I’m just me and being weird is ok for me because life is too short when you can just spread some love.
“Words stopped hurting me and my TikTok tribe fans backed me up because they know what I’ve been through.
“There is no such thing as perfect. “Let’s be real, we all have skin texture.
“I am who I am because of my fans, and always remember, looks may be deceiving but I am always real.”
