Mum divides after putting on makeup during labour

An influencer has divided opinion after getting dolled up while she was in labour.
Kylen Suttner shared a clip of herself “getting ready” in her hospital bed in labour, applying foundation, contour, concealer, blush and brow gel.
Her video is just one of many found on the social media platform, as new mums share their makeup routines ahead of giving birth. Dubbed “birthing makeup,” the so-called trend has divided women online.
While Suttner’s skin looked flawless ahead of giving birth, viewers criticised the new mother-of-two for going full glam.
“I don’t get doing makeup during labour,” wrote one cynic.
“The last thing I had in mind was getting makeup on,” commented another. “I actually took mine off before going to the hospital.”
“I threw up about five minutes before I started pushing. I had puke in my hair, no amount of makeup in the world would have made those photos pretty,” one mum shared.
“Putting on makeup was the LAST thing I was worried about before I birthed my two children,” another snarked.
“I don’t understand how people do this during labour. I was in pain even with the epidural,” another shocked mother wrote.
But some fellow mums championed Suttner, saying they would — or have — done the very same thing, while others were merely interested in what products she was using in the clip.
One labour and delivery nurse even said that hospital staff will never “judge for the makeup,” and encouraged her to do what is most comfortable.
“This was me a year ago applying my cluster lashes minutes before starting to push,” quipped one person.
“This is sooo going to be me,” commented another while congratulating the new mom.
