Heartwarming story of the week claxon.

A doting husband is winning the Internet after it was revealed he is learning how to do his wife’s make-up before she turns blind.

Posting a sweet snapshot of the elderly couple, an accompanying tweet by a store employee explains that Jean and Brian have been regularly visiting the beauty section of their local department store.

Brian has been getting tips and advice from the staff so that he will be able to do his wife’s make up when she loses her sight.

“Why I love my job so much,” the tweet reads. “Meet Jean and Brian, two of our very loyal customers.”

“Brian was in for another makeup lesson today as he does his wife’s makeup every day as she is going blind.”

“Such a wonderful couple who live their life to the full!”
