15 women who have decided to put on make-up before giving birth to relax and feel confident
Childbirth is a unique experience in a woman's life. After 9 months of waiting, preparation and emotion, it's not uncommon that on that day you feel a strange anxiety and apprehension you never experienced before. Those who are about to give birth to their first child ask themselves endless questions: will it be painful? Will it all go okay? Will the baby be healthy? How can I best prepare myself? What will others think when they see my expression?
There are those, however, who also ask other questions: how can I relax? How can I look my best during the moment that there will be endless photos, many of which are posted on Instagram? Both influencers and casual users of social networks have decided to wear makeup, or to call in expert make-up artists, to look their best. Is it a fad or a distraction? Probably the second: many women before giving birth decide to undergo beauty treatments to relax. And then, let's face it, looking bright and tidy in such an extreme moment facilitates the publication of the photos on social networks. The hashtag in question is #labormakeup.

The moment of childbirth was considered, for a long time, to be too intimate to be shared.

In addition to making them feel more relaxed and confident, makeup takes away the fear of looking tired and drained.
