A Makeup Artist From China Can Transform Into Anyone

A Chinese woman with a passion for make-up is creating a buzz online with a series of videos in which she transforms herself into famous characters from the worlds of music, film and even fine art. Former teacher He Yuhong, from the southwestern megacity of Chongqing, has been showing off her styling skills online for over a year, but it was only last month that she decided to take the plunge and become a full-time vlogger, using the pseudonym Yuya Mika. And although the 27-year-old has yet to reap any financial rewards for her efforts, she is rapidly building up an army of devoted fans. One of He’s most ambitious projects can be seen in a video she uploaded to Tik Tok and YouTube earlier this month in which she transforms herself into the enigmatic subject of arguably the world’s most famous painting, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
