There is a great meme on YouTube right now featuring videos of straight couples in which the dude is putting on his partner's make-up, some of which are hilarious in all the expected ways and many of which are really very sweet. They are often intimate and frequently moving; some of the guys talk about watching their partners getting ready in the mirror; some of them say they didn't realize how much effort make-up takes; most of the guys take their role very seriously and apply the make-up gently and precisely. I've only watched a few of them; this is my favorite.
Video Description: Omar applies his girlfriend Dezirae's make-up over the course of seven minutes. He expresses confidence that he knows what to do because he watches her get ready. And he does a pretty good job. At the end, Dezirae explains to him which parts he got wrong, and he listens and makes faces. She tells him she loves him. He says he loves her, too. She puckers her very lipsticky lips for a kiss. He says, "No!" They laugh.
