A Chinese beauty blogger has once again impressed thousands with her incredible transforma­tions - this time by disguising herself as famed physicist Albert Einstein.

In an impressive transforma­tion clip published on her social media account on Sunday, 27-year-old He Yuhong recreated the iconic visage of Einstein sticking out his tongue using makeup and a fake moustache.

The profession­al makeup artist in southwest China's Chongqing first rose to fame after she transforme­d herself into American actress Scarlett Johansson, singer- songwriter Taylor Swift and a life- like Mona Lisa.

' I came across the famous photo of Einstein sticking out his tongue and I thought it would be interestin­g to make it a challenge,' the artist told MailOnline.

'It's also a way of expressing my respect to the great scientist as a make-up artist,' He said.

The black-and-white video starts with her shaping her eyebrows and drawing lines on her face with a pencil, slowly contouring her features to resemble the wild- haired genius who was pictured in the famed image on his 72 birthday.

She then added a fake moustache and a light grey wig, then ended video with the iconic pose.

'There wasn't any special skill involved per se, I just imaged my face as a blank sheet of paper,' she said, adding the Einstein transforma­tion took about five hours to complete.

The video, posted on social video platform Dou Yin, has gathered more than one million views so far.
