Steve Rogers make-up headcanon...
I have this idea in my head that when Steve started touring with the USO girls, he used to wear stage makeup. And after that, he got so used to it, that he just kept the routine.
So by the time Avengers 1 rolls around, Steve's amazed by all the new products available and totally remembers his skin care routine. He shops with Sam and gets moisturizers, serums and fruity lip balms. None of the cakey stuff they used on him in the thirties and forties. He even gets light coverage tinted moisturizers and lash curlers- because Adeline (one of the USO girls) showed him how to do it once- and he still finds it fun and relaxing to curl his long lashes.
(Bucky totally loves Steve in makeup too, esp when steve goes down on him🥵)
Anyway... Steve loves self-care and in the 21st century, he gets to indulge in it without being made to feel guilty or like he's different.
Like, look at this picture (this was after he got booed off the stage)🔝 and tell me it doesn't look like Steve's got on some Max Factor foundation, brows done with some rouge & curled, mascaraed lashes!?🤨

Steve/Bucky USO show Masterlist
Captain America Has a Fella (ao3) - PR Zed (przed)
G, 2k
Summary: "Welcome to the USO," the director tells Audrey. And with a handshake, she's in.
Six month she's been in New York, slinging hash in a diner and going to every audition she hears about. Now she's finally got a job dancing. She's ecstatic.
She's not so sure about working with this Captain America guy, though.
Or how one showgirl finds out there's more to Captain America than meets the eye.
I'd Know That Face Anywhere (ao3) - Shay081793
E, 2k
Summary: The 107th never got captured. Instead, Bucky Barnes is in the audience when that clown "Captain America" performs to rally the troops, and holy shit, that clown is Steve Rogers.
If I said I liked your body, would you hold it against me? (ao3) - aprofessorstale
T, 1k
Summary: Prompt: What if Bucky didn't get captured and was in the audience with the 107th to see Captain America?
La Libération (ao3) - hermionesmydawg
M, 3k
Summary: All the blood rushed to Bucky’s face. An uncharacteristic blush from him. “I don’t recall that story. You know, I do have well-documented memory problems.”
Natasha tsked. “He knows the story.”
“He does,” Steve mused. “It’s okay if you don’t want to tell it.”
“Okay,” Bucky agreed quickly.
“I’ll just tell it,” Steve said. “It was-“
“August,” Bucky interrupted, shooting a scowl at Steve. “August of ‘44, the liberation of Paris. And I was fucking miserable.”
Let's Hear It for Captain America! (ao3) - JJK
T, 4k
Summary: Steve lost his virginity to a USO girl in 1943? Sure he did, if you mean he lost it to Bucky dressed in a USO girl outfit.....
* * *
Love confessions post-Azzano lead to a discovery of Steve's Captain America costume and the USO girls help out when Bucky decides he wants to dress up for Steve.
Mama Tiger Knows Best (ao3) - darth_stitch
T, 415
Summary: "All right, Rogers, that handsome fella of yours better appreciate how we’re keeping you safe for him."
Riders In The Sky (ao3) - roe87
steve/bucky
M, 3k
Summary: Bucky time travels back to 1943 to watch Steve perform onstage as Captain America in the USO show. (He likes the outfit, okay?)
Then he continues on to the late '40s, pays Arnim Zola a visit... then swings back around to help the Steve from his timeline as he returns the Infinity Stones.
Once he rights the main timeline, Bucky heads back again, rescues Steve from 1949, and takes him on an adventure.
Steve's USO Tour (ao3) - roe87
M, 9k
Summary: After Project Rebirth, Steve has his brand new body but Col. Phillips and the Army doesn't want him.
Senator Brandt, however, offers Steve the chance to do his part by promoting war bonds... in tights, in a USO show.
Lucky for Steve, he meets some new friends to keep him company, including a chorus girl named Bucky.
Sucker Punch (ao3) - yellow_crayon
E, 15k
Summary: Steve Rogers is not the blushing virgin everyone thinks.
(Five times they almost get caught and one time they do.)
To A Girl in 1943 on the USO Tour (ao3) - UnderwhelmingAlchemist
E, 4k
Summary: Steve is questioned about how exactly he lost his virginity. Technically he's only lying about the "girl" part. After all, it was someone in 1943, and it was at the end of his USO tour, and they were wearing one of the dancer's costumes. Close enough, right?
Upskirt Angle (ao3) - zetsubonna
M, 315
Summary: Anon requested: During the war, Bucky gets his hands on a USO girl outfit, wears it, and makes Steve roleplay.

What If Things Were Different (ao3) - ceealaina
G, 1k
Summary: What if Bucky wasn't captured by Hydra, and instead was sitting in the audience with the rest of the 107th while Captain America took the stage?
In my head Steve and Bucky are so in love it's ridiculous, but it can be read as just two best friends if that's how you prefer it.
