Ariel Tejada has been Kylie Jenner's makeup artist for about three years, starting when they were only 19 and 18, respectively. And in that time, the two have clearly bonded — over makeup, of course, but also over so much more, as is apparent in an emotional and lengthy Instagram post Tejada shared with his 1.7 million followers on Saturday.

"I don’t think you will ever be able to comprehend the amount of Love and Respect that i have for you," Tejada starts off the caption, which accompanies a photo of him with Jenner adorned by a filter's heart bubbles. "Not only are you the most perfect, and beautiful canvas for my hands to create magic on, but you also happen to be the most Loving, Caring, Supportive, Loyal, Honest, and Warm hearted person with the biggest heart ever! I know i’ve mention this in the past, but your level of work ethic is unparalleled!! To see you dedicate so much of your time, energy and heart into Kylie Cosmetics is truly a blessing for me."

Tejada then switches from speaking directly to Jenner to addressing his followers. "Not many people get to see The behind the scenes. So let me let you all know why @kyliecosmetics @kyliejenner is really on the of Forbes Magazine," he writes, referring to Jenner's recent Forbes cover story in which they estimate she'll become the youngest billionaire in history.

"There are not many people who are willing to care as much about what’s being put out there for us to use! @kyliejenner Truly loves makeup! I think that is why we get along so well, we genuinely share the same passion for makeup. For this reason, there is not one product that goes out from @kyliecosmetics that this BOSS herself did not take her time developing and actually loves it. When you truly love something, and i mean really LOVE SOMETHING. When your are Passionate, Dedicated, and completely Invested into whatever it is the you truly love!! Magic happens and success is just bond to be yours. If there is one person I know that connects with everything I mentioned above, Its Kylie."

Although Tejada typically posts photos related to his work, he clearly felt moved to share how his professional relationship with Jenner means so much to him on a personal level. "I rarely ever talk so personally with all my followers about anything really. I’ve tried to keep my feelings/my private life separate from work," he explains. "But I love this girl, she will forever hold a big place in my heart. Thank you for always being there for me, and supporting me! Honesty and Loyalty is Key in holding a good relationship and those are 2 things we dont Lack. Love you Alway!!"

The sweet sentiments didn't go unnoticed by Jenner. Shortly after Tejada posted the heartfelt testimonial, Jenner replied in the comments, "ARIEL!!! don't make me cry!!!!! I love you 💋💋💋💋💋💋" — perhaps the most appropriate emoji choice ever.
