You’ve probably seen many of those jaw-dropping make-up transformation videos on social media before and marvelled at their make-up skills. It’s really a 180-degree change!
In fact, this 43-year-old lady from Shenzhen, China is so skilled in doing her make-up that she managed to transform herself into a girl that looks like she’s only in her twenties! Known as Wang Jingjing, she met a man named Li Xiaoqing, 30, at a spa centre in Longgang in 2015. They started getting close and soon became a couple, Oriental Daily reported.
Not long after that, Wang started asking Li for help, saying that she was facing a lot of financial issues. She had good excuses every time that ranged from paying death compensation for her staff, hospitalisation fees for her mother who was suffering from cerebral haemorrhage and several other issues with her company.
Each time, Li agreed to loan the money to her and transferred funds to her about 150 times from 2016 to 2017. Wah, so rich! In total, he had transferred 7 million RMB (RM4.21 million) to Wang and she would return a small amount to him periodically. However, she still owed Li about 6 million RMB (RM3.61 million) that was never returned to him.
One day, Li’s elder brother discovered that something was wrong as there was a large amount of money missing from home and started questioning him. When Li said that he had loaned the money to his girlfriend, Wang, the elder brother began to get suspicious and suspected that Li had been duped.
The brother lodged a police report and after investigating, they were surprised to find that Wang was actually 43 years old, instead of in her twenties as she claimed to be. The police obtained Wang’s ID and showed it to Li, who said that he could not recognise the woman on the card.
Apparently, Wang would appear with heavy make-up each time she met Li and looked completely different from the photo on the ID card. Wang was arrested and when the police ran a facial recognition programme based on her ID photo, the software said there was only 38% similarity. Wow!
Although she is very skilled when it comes to dolling up her face, that is NOT the way to use your gift!
