A beauty blogger has posted a heartwarming video to YouTube of how to do make up for a chemotherapy patient.

But in a twist the special client is actually her mother, who is currently undergoing chemo. 

Ioana, who goes by the name Nadina Ioana on YouTube and Instagram, posted a video of the make up transformation at the start of December.

'Today I leave you a very special video I made with the collaboration of my mother,' the Barcelona-based blogger wrote.

'Doing make up for people going through chemotherapy is quite different, as not only do the women not have any hair, but their skin can be irritated quite easily.  

'In this make-up video I show you how to do a makeup in a client who is doing a chemo treatment, who usually has a very sensitive skin, and no brows or eyelashes at all,' Ioana explained.

The works: The make up artist gave her mother fake eyebrows and eyelashes as well as doing eyeshadow, foundation and lipstick

In the video the young woman carefully pencilled in eyebrows before putting moisturiser and then foundation on her mother's skin.

'It's very important to properly prepare the skin before doing the makeup, putting the right products on (moisturizing cream and serum for sensitive and dry skin type),' Ioana explained.

'It's also important to do symmetrical brows, which have fit with the client's face, and to be careful in the application of the eyelashes, due to the client won't have any natural eyelashes at all, so they can be uncomfortable if they're not applied correctly.'

Social star: Ioana has more than 14,000 followers on Instagram

Transformed: The young woman refers to her mother as her 'warrior' in posts

At the end of the clip the woman's mother is transformed, complete with a brunette wig on her bald head.

The mother poses with her daughter and smiles, looking completely different to at the beginning of the video. 

In an Instagram post about her mum, Ioana refers to her as 'My warrior' and says how beautiful she is.
