— -- One Croatian grandmother is turning plenty of heads on the Internet thanks to a makeover.

Professional make-up artist Tea Flego told ABC News that since she was a little girl her 80-year-old grandmother Livia Mulac served as her model when she practiced. And recently, after she posted photos of her grandmother's latest makeover, the images of Mulac went viral and she was dubbed the "glam-ma."

Flego, 32, recalled that when Mulac got a first glimpse of herself after her latest makeover, she said: "Holy crap!"

The make up artist, based in Pula, Croatia, said she used a technique known as contouring on her grandmother. She also had to draw on her eyebrows and define her lips.

What was Mulac's favorite part of her makeover?

"Blurring her wrinkles is her favorite part," Flego replied.

Since Mulac's look has gone viral, Flego said she's become "a mascot in her nursing home. Her friends call her a star."

As far as her family, which includes five children, 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, Flega said they're all "so proud."

Mulac is also flattered by all of the attention she's now receiving.

"How beautiful it is to travel the whole world and not to set a step away from my nursing home," she said.
