"A face is a blank sheet of paper": cosmetics turned a Chinese woman into the Mona Lisa

Beauty blogger He (He Yuya) with the help of cosmetics depicted on her face two famous portraits of Leonardo da Vinci — the Mona Lisa and the Lady with the ermine. A video of her applying Mona Lisa makeup has garnered more than 20 million views on the Dou Yin platform and 800 thousand views on Miaopai.

The talented makeup artist is 27 years old, she lives in Chongqing. Subscribers jokingly offered the girl to draw the Mona Lisa on herself, and she agreed.

After seeing the reaction to the Mona Lisa video, the Chinese woman continued the da Vinci theme with a portrait of a Lady with an ermine.

Previously, the makeup artist transformed into real celebrities. "As soon as you look at your face as a blank sheet of paper, countless possibilities open up before you," she says.

The video, in which the girl makes herself a singer Taylor Swift, has collected 390 thousand views. And this is despite the fact that He is not the only one in China to transform into Western celebrities: Wang Jiawen from Chengdu is doing the same, and Taylor Swift is also among her works.

Each such transformation takes from four to six hours. Among Hye's other works is makeup depicting Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng, her mother's favorite performer.
