I don’t use the word ‘boss’ lightly.
But 27-year-old Alaha Karimi, a New York woman who shared an image of herself applying impressive amounts of makeup while in labour, is a boss.
Karimi gave birth to a baby girl just over a month ago, and shared this image with her 94,000 followers on Instagram:
I LOVE this woman. I just love her SO much. I love that she didn’t try to go for a natural look. I love that she’s wearing glittery eyeshadow. I love that she’s wearing fake eyelashes. But most of all I love how she just OWNS it.
“Yes, I went full glam lol and I’ll post more pics later of me doing my makeup DURING Labor and pausing for the severe contractions lol,” she wrote. “And yes, I wore my @hudabeauty @shophudabeauty mink lashes in “SOPHIA” since it was appropriate lol.”
Predictably, some users weren’t too happy about Alaha’s priorities. “Damn she’s vain. Why would you want to put lipstick all on the baby, or did you even kiss him or her?,” asked one user, clearly very, very concerned for the wellbeing of the baby, and not being judgey AT ALL.
