American woman puts on full face make-up in the middle of giving birth

A few weeks ago, New York makeup artist and beauty blogger Alaha Majid shared pictures of her putting on a full face of makeup – including smokey eyes and false lashes – all while in the middle of giving birth.

In one of her Instagram updates, she told her followers how she was managing to do such precision makeup while in the middle of contractions.

“I was pausing during contractions and picking up where I left off once the contractions passed,” she wrote, explaining that she had a completely natural birth.

And, when the contractions got a little too strong, her husband was there to carry on contouring.

Alaha Majid posted on Instagram and Twitter to let her friends and followers know that she had given birth to a daughter, including an image of herself doing make-up.

“We would like to take a second to welcome our precious angel, Sofia Alaya Karimi, into the world. Baby Sofia was born two nights ago, on February 15, 2016 at 6:19 p.m. weighing 8lbs 13oz and a height of 21.5 inches,” Alaha Majid wrote in her Instagram, admitting that she did go “full glam” to welcome her daughter into the world.
