How to contour a mature face when the old placement stopped making sense

I learned to contour following tutorials made by and for people in their 20s and it worked fine then. But my face has genuinely changed. Softer angles, different skin texture, volume has shifted in ways that mean the old placement doesn't look right anymore.

I've been experimenting and making progress but I feel like there must be people here who've actually figured out how to adapt technique for a more mature face. Specifically curious about how placement changes, whether softer vs more defined contour looks better, and whether formula type matters as much as I think it does.

Any accumulated wisdom from people who have actually worked through this?
