Se MAQUILLÓ mientras daba a luz, NUNCA pensó que pasaría ESTO

“Típico que estás en labor de parto y aprovechas para maquillarte”, esta es la reacción de muchas mujeres cuando conocen la historia de Alaha, una maquillista profesional de Nueva York que hizo exactamente eso mientras estaba a punto de dar a luz. Las fotografías que le tomó su hermana se hicieron virales después de subirlas a Instagram. ¡No era para menos!
La ahora mamá de 27 años, le contó a un medio digital que no creía que fuera tan relevante.
“Realmente no pensé que fuera gran cosa que decidiera maquillarme mientras estaba en trabajo de parto”.

Three weeks ago at this time I was finishing up my makeup and getting ready for my princess to make her appearance. Yes, I was doing my makeup while I was in labor! I was pausing during contractions and picking up where I left off once the contractions passed. I only packed some of my favorite products in my hospital bag… @morphebrushes 35O eyeshadow palette @marcbeauty remarcable foundation @hudabeauty @shophudabeauty lashes in “sophia” @anastasiabeverlyhills contour kit @mikasabeauty brushes and holder @royallangnickel MODA brushes @benefitcosmetics stay don’t stray eyeshadow palette @gerardcosmetics brow bar to go @anastasiabeverlyhills dipbrow pomade @brian_champagne hydraplex @doseofcolors liquid lipsticks @jeffreestar @jeffreestarcosmetics velour liquid lipsticks And a few other products. I can’t believe how fast time flies! It’s already been three weeks!

“Hace tres semanas a esta hora estaba terminando de maquillarme y alistándome para conocer a mi princesa. Sí, estaba maquillándome mientras estaba en trabajo de parto. Hacía pausas durante las contracciones y continuaba cuando pasaban”. Y por supuesto, la gente está obsesionada con las imágenes: Captura-de-pantalla-2016-03-17-a-las-9.52.31 3-72

¿Cómo diablos se puso maquillaje mientras estaba en labor de parto? Yo ni siquiera puedo ponerme el rímel sin salirme”. 2-78

“¿Qué mie*`a? Necesito tener otro hijo, hice todo mal”. Captura-de-pantalla-2016-03-17-a-las-9.57.22

“Esto es increíble. Las mujeres son las criaturas más rudas en el planeta”. Captura-de-pantalla-2016-03-17-a-las-9.53.16

“Esta pudiste haber sido tú… pero querías dormir”. Captura-de-pantalla-2016-03-17-a-las-9.52.56

Los comentarios de “Goals”, no podían faltar. Captura-de-pantalla-2016-03-17-a-las-9.56.38

“Metas legítimas”. Captura-de-pantalla-2016-03-17-a-las-9.56.25

“Metas ‘increíbles’”. Alaha dijo que hizo esto para mantener su mente ocupada y olvidar los dolores. También leyó durante unas horas hasta que le dolió la cabeza. La maquillista invita a las demás a seguir sus pasos.

“Yo recomiendo a las mujeres a hacer lo mismo. No te sientas miserable durante el trabajo de parto, haz algo que amas. Mientras tu doctor lo permita, disfruta tu día. Lo que hice no puso en riesgo a mi bebé y no interfirió con el proceso ni un poco”.

Y de esta forma fue como recibió a su bebé. Completamente chic.

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 6:19pm weighing 8lbs 13oz and a height of 21.5 inches. Mash’allah! Both of us are doing well Alhamdullilah. She has only been a part of our lives for two days and I can’t even remember what life was like before her. She has changed our lives in ways we never thought were possible and has given us the most beautiful outlook on life. How could a little human who we have only known for 48 hours, have so much impact on our lives? Both hubby and I are so in love with her that we stare at her for hours as our hearts fill with joy, and our eyes fill with tears trying to understand how we became so lucky to be chosen as her parents. Subhanallah, Mash’allah, Alhamdullilah, times a million for everything God has blessed us with! I know many people are asking for pics, and I’m sorry but her father and I have decided to keep her beautiful face private for some time to keep her all to ourselves a little while longer and keep her away from evil eyes or Nazar (it’s a cultural/religious thing and I hope you all understand). Family and friends are more than welcome to reach out and come visit once we are settled in and well-adjusted. Thank you to all those who sent flowers, texts, emails, calls, etc. I haven’t been able to get back to everyone individually but I will as soon as I can. Now many of you are probably wondering about this picture, LOL! It was taken the minute she was first handed to me after I delivered her, look at her little head in my palm. 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. And yes, I wore my @hudabeauty @shophudabeauty mink lashes in “SOPHIA” since it was appropriate lol. I had a natural birth alhamdullilah so it was tough, but I’m lucky enough to have been able to experience it firsthand and am so grateful. I prayed for all of the women who are trying to conceive to get to experience this beautiful feeling as well inshallah! Again, thank you all for the sweet messages, wishes, and love! God bless!
