When a celebrity lets their partner do their makeup, we already know we’re in for a show. But when that partner is Benny Blanco, and the canvas is none other than Selena Gomez, the results? A masterpiece of absolute mayhem.
The multiplatinum music producer—who is wildly talented in many areas (makeup not included)—decided to take on the ultimate challenge: glamming up his fiancée using her own Rare Beauty line. And the internet lived for it.
Selena, proving she has both foresight and survival instincts, started the session with her foundation and brows already done. Smart move. That was basically her way of saying:
“Okay, Benny, you can have the rest of my face… but let’s not get crazy.”
And yet, from the moment her phone dramatically fell to the floor, the universe itself seemed to be warning her: Abort mission. Run.
Benny, armed with enthusiasm but zero technique, dove in. And let’s just say… things escalated quickly.
Contouring, for the uninitiated, is all about sculpting and defining the face with precision. Benny? Well, he had his own interpretation.
Instead of carving out sharp cheekbones, he smeared the product onto Selena’s cheeks like Nutella on toast. And blending? Oh, blending was an abstract concept in Benny’s world. If you’ve ever watched a toddler finger-paint with reckless abandon, you already know the vibe.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, Benny doubled down—grabbing the highlighter and applying it directly on top of his failed contour.
“Oh, that’s good blending,” he confidently announced.
Meanwhile, Selena’s soul left her body.
But the real highlight (pun intended)? Benny inexplicably decided that the jawline was the perfect place for a heavy dose of shimmery powder… applied with his finger. Avant-garde? Maybe. Logical? Absolutely not.
As if the look wasn’t already radiantly muddy, Benny wrapped things up with a setting spray moment for the ages.
Instead of misting Selena’s face, he drenched himself. Picture a man discovering hydration for the first time. Selena? She just sat there, blinking, silently questioning her life choices.
Did Benny create a wearable makeup look? No.
Did he create a viral moment? Absolutely.
Through it all, Selena was the real MVP—smiling, laughing, and proving that even A-list celebrities can have a hilariously bad makeup day. And honestly? We love her for it.
So, what do you think? Should Benny stick to music… or are we looking at the next big makeup influencer? Sound off below! 😂🎨💄 #BennyTried #SelenaGomez #RareBeautyFails
