The stunning porcelain doll lookalike shares the secrets behind her amazing appearance.
Since starting her Instagram account four years ago back in 2013, Kina Shen has picked up 445,000 followers online, with people in her homeland of China and further abroad all drawn to the stunning young woman’s photo collection.
What sets Kina apart from all the other pretty young fashionistas on Instagram is her striking look, which people around the globe are likening to a doll.
Looking through her photo collection shows that the raven-haired beauty really does have all the features of a doll brought to life, regardless of whether she’s looking off in the distance or gazing down the barrel of the lens.
Kina has a fondness for the dark, once leaving the comment: “All this time I thought I was dark, but maybe I was wrong. I cannot stay away from darkness, because it needs me. Because I am the light it craves, and needs. So maybe I am not cursed, but blessed with a dark kind of light.”
Her penchant for dark fashion and cigarettes make her look like a gothic Barbie doll.
With porcelain skin, large eyes and a dainty mouth, every photo taken of her looks more like an image of a doll rather than a real-life person.
▼ In these shots, she looks like a doll that’s been carefully posed for photos.
▼ Kina likes to play around with her look, getting creative with new makeup…
▼ And different coloured hair.
And just like a doll, she has a number of outfits for different occasions.
When she steps into cosplay attire, her doll-like features make her look like an anime character come to life.
Kina’s distinctive look owes a lot to her large and captivating eyes, a key feature that she’s been kind enough to share with this makeup tutorial on YouTube.
As Kina continues to update her photo collection with new images, she’s also beginning to inspire a wide and varied collection of fan art.
One fan even created a computer-generated image of her in life simulation video game The Sims 4.
If you like Kina’s look and want to see more living dolls from across the world, you might want to check out the blonde Barbies walking the streets of Russia and the Ukraine.
If these doll-like women ever decide to meet up one day for a photo shoot like this one, then we’ll all feel like we’ve stepped into an alternate universe!
