A beauty blogger in south-west China has stunned thousands after she filmed herself transforming into a life-like Mona Lisa.
Posting the impressive transformation clip on her Miaopai video channel on Sunday, He Yuya, 27, re-created the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece on her face using only makeup.
The artist from Chongqing province then on Tuesday posted another video of her transforming into the Lady with an Ermine, an oil painting also by Da Vinci.

The former makeup artist has also filmed herself transforming into popular American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and received 390,000 views.
Ms He told MailOnline that she created the Mona Lisa look on a whim, after her followers tasked her the makeup challenge as a joke.
She certainly did not expect the clip to go viral.
The transformation video has been viewed over 800,000 times on Miaopai and more than 20 million times on social video platform Dou Yin, where she first posted the video.
‘The response is just overwhelming,’ she said.
‘I appreciate all the support I’ve received and I’m so happy that viewers like the transformation.’
