"I'm happy to see that people like my recreation work. I'm greatly encouraged by their positive feedbacks," He said.

Now, she has built up an army of devoted fans at home and abroad who hope she will upload makeup tutorials.

"Some of the fans never made up their faces before, while others are men, but they all show great interest in my videos. They keep me moving forward," she said.

On Wednesday, she uploaded a collection of 30 short videos online in which she transformed herself into various figures, such as renowned military strategist Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280).

Even though it takes four to six hours to recreate the face of one figure with makeup, she plans to finish a total of 72 such videos. Many are based on figures from famous oil paintings.

She had replicated the figure in Lady With an Ermine, another of Leonardo da Vinci's great works, which also created an online buzz.

She is preparing for her next project - Johannes Vermeer's world-famous painting Girl With a Pearl Earring.

"Once you see your face as a blank sheet of paper, the opportunities are endless," she said.
