We all like to look our best, but a 27-year-old luxury business consultant from New York, US, is going viral after being snapped applying makeup whilst in labor.
“I didn’t really think it was a big deal,” said Alaha Karimi, adding that it was her way of taking her mind off the pain.

But the rest of the Internet just about exploded when Alaha’s photos appeared on Instagram, with some desparate to know what products she used and others disgusted.
“[People] called me an idiot for ‘putting looks before the baby'”, said Alaha. “Anyone who has been through labor knows it’s a waiting game.”
“Of course I made sure my baby was well and healthy. What I was doing didn’t put my baby at risk [or] interfere with my labor one bit.”

Alaha even recommends everyone get in on the action, saying, “I would actually advise other women to do the same! Don’t make yourself miserable during labor, do something that you love!”
“As long as your doctor is OK with it, cake that foundation on and enjoy your day!”

Much as we’d love to bring our baby into this world looking totally flawless, we might just be a little too preoccupied to start slapping on concealer…
