Selena Gomez Lets Benny Blanco Try (And Fail) to Do Her Makeup in Hilarious New Video
Written by djfrosty on March 6, 2025
Selena Gomez recently let Benny Blanco do her makeup — and let’s just say his artistic capabilities in the studio don’t quite transfer over to the salon.
In a hilarious Instagram video posted Thursday (March 6), the Only Murders in the Building star gave her enthusiastic fiancé free reign over her Rare Beauty products to give her a makeover. Blanco didn’t inspire a lot of faith in Gomez at the outset — the producer knocked their camera to the floor during an attempt at pressed powder — but after some repositioning and dusting of his partner’s face, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer complimented, “That’s good, babe! Now I’m proud.”
Things took a turn again, however, when Blanco held up a pigmented liquid bronzer, making Gomez shut her eyes in fear as he asked, “What is this called? What am I contouring?”

“When you do it, it looks so good!” the “Eastside” musician griped as he tried and failed to blend far too much of the deep brown liquid into her skin, only managing to spread the color onto more of her face.
Several layers of liquid blush, highlighter and lip oil — and many grimaces from Gomez — later, Blanco got to a point where he was happy with his work. “I really think I’m onto something, like if I blend these two together,” he mused. “I think it looks pretty good. You look so hot.”
Going off the expression on Gomez’s face at the end, she didn’t exactly agree with him — but at least he had fun. In the comments, the official Rare Beauty account joked, “@bennyblanco you’re hired.”
Though Blanco may not be the best help to his fiancée beauty-wise, the pair did recently — and much more successfully — team up on an upcoming joint album titled I Said I Love You First. Arriving March 21, the 14-track project features previously released singles “Scared of Loving You” and “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams. Earlier this week, Gomez unveiled the rest of the project’s tracklist.
The couple first started dating in summer 2023, a year and a half after which Blanco proposed to the singer-actress. They announced their album on their second Valentine’s Day together, with Gomez later telling Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe that the project is “a little taste of what we are and how we made this together, and how much we loved it and how much we love each other.”
