Selena Gomez has just posted a side-splitting and heartwarming TikTok video with fans featuring her future husband, Benny Blanco, attempting to put her Rare Beauty products on his face. The internet immediately fell in love with it, with fans loving Benny’s clueless yet adorable approach to putting on makeup and Selena’s priceless reactions.
Benny tackles the challenge in a now-viral TikTok video with gusto, despite having no experience. With a beauty professional’s amount of confidence, but with absolutely no skill, Benny jokingly refers to foundation as “hand lotion” and mixes up a contour stick with either lipstick or a “magic marker.” He even cracks a joke at one point and says, “I just realized makeup is just drawing all over your face.”
Selena, ever a tolerant companion, watches with a mix of laughter and skepticism as Benny plays with highlighter and liquid contour, sometimes using his fingers in a way that would make even a professional make-up artist blanch. Despite his questionable techniques, however, Benny has no question about his work, finishing the session by telling Selena, “You look hot.”
The fans immediately reacted with a barrage of heart emojis, laugh faces, and admiration for Benny’s genuine efforts. The fans could not get enough of the duo’s chemistry, with many even asking for Benny to have his own beauty channel.
One fan commented, “Benny Blanco, Rare Beauty’s new face. Sign me up!” Another commented jokingly, “Selena deserves an award for keeping a straight face during this.”
It received millions of views in a matter of hours, and celebrities and fans alike flocked to it with comments. Even Selena’s best friend, Taylor Swift, commented with a laughing face emoji, which just fueled the buzz.
Apart from making lighthearted TikTok posts, Selena and her boyfriend have made headlines for being in a relationship. The two went public in late 2023, and by December 2024, they had gotten engaged. It was 36-year-old Benny who got engaged to his girlfriend in a love-filled set-up proposal that appeared to be a beautifully landscaped park with green grass, champagne, and a table with their favorite junk foods.
Selena shared her excitement about the album in a social media post, “We can’t wait to share with you our special project soon.” Her excitement was equaled by that of Benny, who shared behind-the-scenes photos from their album shoot and wrote, “I can’t believe that I get to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Benny Blanco has worked in the music industry, with some of the biggest stars around, like Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, SZA, Ariana Grande, and even Justin Bieber. What was unique about Benny and Selena’s relationship was that it allegedly put a strain on his friendship with Bieber, who reportedly felt “betrayed” because he had been friends with both of them for a long time. “Justin confided in Benny about his heartbreak with Selena, so in a sense, he was blindsided by their relationship,” a source said.
