F!Shep/Garrus facepaint and commitments

At some point soon after F!Shep confesses she loves Garrus and vice versa, she discovers him redoing/touching up his face paint, and asks if she can help.
Garrus tentatively agrees, but explains that it's only something life-mates do for each other - in some cases, it's seen as more intimate and binding than marriage vows.
Shepard, of course, doesn't blink at making that sort of commitment.
Bonus points for Garrus painting her face afterward.
And extra bonus points for hot sexiness, because we can never have enough of that.
When she and Garrus first got together, Shepard had sort of expected to have blue paint all over her pillow and sheets when he was over. Turned out, whatever the turians made the paint out of didn’t come off that easily - she hadn’t managed to so much as smudge it, no matter how hot and heavy their make-out sessions got... and they had certainly given it a good try more than a few times

“The rest, we’ve mostly done,” he admitted. “A few things we can’t do - sharing food, sharing wine... Our families would want to meet, feel out the other partner to make sure they were an acceptable choice. You know we’re... not normally a very independent species.”
“I know. Rebel,” she teased lightly. “That’s it, though? No big ceremony or anything?”
“There’s usually a party. But it’s not like what I’ve heard about human weddings, no. We’re not really about religious practices or temples or any of that. The individuals choose, the families consent, the community celebrates. There’s... nothing to say we couldn’t do something more like what humans normally do, if you wanted to, though

He checked her work in the mirror, and nodded approvingly, then pulled her down onto his lap. They’d had such a damned hard time figuring out how to fit together, early on, Shepard remembered. It all seemed so easy, now. His arms settled around her waist, his talons solid and comfortable on her back, the wickedly curved claws resting harmless and sturdy against her skin. “So... I’m yours now. Forever
