Would You Let Your Boyfriend Do Your Makeup? These Girls Did! (Videos)

Would I allow my boyfriend to give me a massage? Definitely! Paint my toenails? Maybe. Apply my makeup? Say what?!

I may be a bit particular about the way I curl my lashes and add color to my cheeks, but for a few women, their makeup brushes often land in the hands of their boyfriends.

Our friends over at BellaSugar discovered an adorable makeup tutorial video (above) featuring one guy who claims to be an expert at this.

I couldn't help but giggle out loud as Omar haphazardly draws eyeliner on his girlfriend's upper lid, saying "Oooohh, I think I did this wrong thing!" But I give him cool points for knowing concealer corrects dark under-eye circles, his quirky "Boom!" sound effects and his elaborate pressing of the lips after applying pink lipstick.

"I think this sh-t looks good!" he says. And it does!

Fascinated by this wave of boyfriends doing their girlfriend's makeup, I tracked down other eye-opening videos.

Sit back, press play and vote in our poll on whether you'd allow your significant other to help you get pretty.

Wow this is nothing new. I made my boyfriends brush my hair for hours, do nails etc... Doing this is cheaper than a spa and it brings you closer together.

Why NOT let him? It sounds like fun, and if he screws up, fixing it can be fun too!

You MADE your boyfriend do these things for you? How creepy. Why any man would want to have a relationship with someone that sounds so bossy is beyond me. (Just like a woman who would have man in her life that constantly told her what to do.) Then I started wondering if you're the only one who can actually see this "boyfriend" or do others see him, too. What man wants a pushy, demanding "princess?"

You made your boyfriends do all that? No wonder 'boyfriends' is plural. Doing something as a sign of affection or to pamper your bf/ gf is one thing, but to demand it is just being bitchy and pushy. I can't imagine someone sticking around to put up with that.

Girls, if your bf likes to do your makeup on a regular basis, better check to see if he's not on the down low.

My boyfriend loves to pick out my clothes and even goes shopping with me and he plays with my hair so much I should be bald! It began one day when he saw my sister curling it for me and how connected we were and laughing and talking and he said he was jealous of that, so now he brushes it and stuff. No weaves for me!

I thought that third guy was going to do a really bad job, but she did look pretty at the end. The first guy was cute with all his sound effects.

These videos are awesome. It is great that a guy is willing to try that and I too think that Omar did a great job. There is no law that says blush cannot go on your eyelids!

My husband does a great job with eyebrows, shadow, eyeliner and blush. He even does my nails. I would say he is an artist also.

That first guy was adorable, and they are a cute couple, he did a pretty good job. It helped alot that she's a pretty girl to begin with..but that was a real cute clip.

What a great way for a couple to share some intimacy, and have a little fun and laughs at the same time. I thought he did a great job, and the results looked very attractive and natural! I wish I could get my husband to give me the "star" treatment. This boyfriend was cute...he wasn't afraid to show his girl some affection while in the public eye. I wish more guys were like him. And he wasn't only sweet, he had a great sense of humor! I hope this couple will last forever

She's pretty and her complexion is so refine anyone could put makeup on her and she would still look pretty. He was obviously no expert, but very sweet.

I don't understand some of the comments about men and them doing make-up for thier girlfriends or wives. I am a single dad of a 9 yr old male, but have also been the step dad of a young lady since she was 4 years old. I braided her hair, put barrettes in to match her outfits, etc. etc. (BTW I am African American and she is also).....my ex was a former model and could put perfect make-up on in a few minutes. I watched and when she isn't feeling like doing it I do it for her. I have also put in glue in extensions, cut and styled her hair etc. I don't feel less of a man doing this. She has helped tune my 69 Roadrunner, with a 440 ci engine and six pack. We built the engine together, and restored the car also. Why not still together? Differences in plans for the future, but we still are friends, and I still help her when she needs help with make-up LOL

(Maurice)--You are sure of your self and that's what count's. Whether your a man or a woman. How precious!! I was raised by men, dad and grandpa. My dad and grandfather, loved, dressed and contributed, to my healthy self esteem.They are the ones who combed my hair, let me buy my clothing and praised, my looks. Now I am a 50 year old white woman, who's husband, would not come near her with a brush. LOL. Black men seem so much more tender and romantic then,white men. The girls in the videos look so cute and trusting. AWWWWW

Well, I suppose to most people this is "cute". I think it is pathetic. My boyfriend would sooner put on my make up as he would use road kill for dinner. Who does this? Pathetic useless boys with no purpose and zero intelligence. Welcome to America 2011.

My, aren't we judgemental? Looks to me like couples just having a little bit of fun together. What's so 'pathetic' about that? Or do 'real men' beat their chest, chug beer and beat their women?
