Mum did a full face of make up mid-contractions to help her feel confident during labour

A glam mum did a full face of make-up including false lashes while in labour so she would look perfect for the birth - and she says it didn't budge despite "hours of crying". Tina Aragon, 24, decided after her first pregnancy that she wanted to get glammed up, so she looked flawless in photos for any future children she had.

The cosmetologist fell pregnant with her second baby in March 2022 and packed her hospital bag with the essentials and her full glam kit. When Tina went into labour on October 26, she spent an hour and a half applying a "full glam" make-up look from her hospital bed - including huge false eyelashes - while 5cm dilated.

The mum-of-two breathed through agonising contractions while blending her foundation - and had an epidural injection mid-way through powdering her face. Tina claims doctors were shocked - and warned her eyelashes would be long gone by the next day - but she said her make-up didn't budge at all.
