The Japanese have a mania for precisely following instructions from people regarded as authoritative. Here's a very funny scene where a young man learns how to eat ramen from an old senmonka ("expert") from Juzo Itami's comedy "Tampopo."
"Those who give and those who receive arbitrary power are alike criminal, and there is no man but is bound to resist it to the best of his power, wherever it shall show its face to the world. Nothing but absolute impotence can justify men in not resisting it to the best of their power." ---Edmund Burke
This doesn't have anything really to do with eye make-up, but here's a couple of hot scenes, also from "Tampopo," from the subplot involving a yakuza or Japanese gangster and his moll. The subtitles are in Spanish, but I'm sure you'll get the gist.. :P
