There are a lot of heartwarming videos out there, but this story of a man who's learned to apply makeup to support his wife is on a whole other level.

The BBC video above features Des and Mona Manahan from Ireland. After Mona began losing her eyesight, Des learned how to apply her makeup by going to classes.

Their story has since attracted so much attention that Kim Kardashian's makeup artist even invited them to come to one of his classes in London.

Pure. Relationship. Goals.
