About
Disney Prince Putting On Lipstick refers to an exploitable image macro of an effeminate prince putting on lipstick with a small hand mirror. The image is a photograph of a painting made by Mexican pop artist Jose Rodolfo Loaiza in August 2014. The image was used in many Spanish-speaking memes made on Facebook in February 2016, pairing the image with phrases heterosexual men might say that allude to them being more feminine or homosexual than they'd like to admit. The image received an uptick in exploitable usage in 2021 on Twitter and Instagram in alt-left, American meme spheres.
Origin
On August 5th, 2014, Mexican pop artist Jose Rodolfo Loaiza posted the original photo of his painting, titled "Ready to Kiss," to his Instagram[1] and Facebook pages (shown below). The painting, when posted on Instagram, received roughly 2,200 likes in one week.
Spread
In February 2016, the image started appearing on Mexican meme pages across Facebook and Twitter (examples shown below). The memes first centered on popular beer brands like Tecate and Corona, as well as the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February 2016. This is also when the image started being used with English captions, initially relating to the Super Bowl (shown below, right).
On September 9th, 2020 Twitter[2] user @BhadDhad used the image in a tweet (shown below) that received roughly 2,000 likes in one week. The tweet was screenshotted and reposted on August 5th, 2021, by Twitter[3] user @hardcoverazeez. This tweet received roughly 21,000 likes over the course of one week.
The screenshotted tweet made its way to Instagram by the end of August 2021. On August 31st, Instagram[4] user @mybloodyvirginia reposted the image macro to their page. On the same day, @mybloodyvirginia posted two exploitable re-edits of the screenshotted tweet, adding in new words and phrases. These two re-edits (shown below) solidified the meme as an exploitable, following the template "guys who X be like."
