While we've heard of some women getting delivery-room blowouts [1] and prelabor lash extensions [2], we've never seen someone give birth looking as glam as Instagram user makeupbyalaha [3]. The New York-based makeup artist shared images of herself propped up in a hospital bed surrounded by palettes as she applied a full face of product . . . despite contractions.

"I was pausing during contractions and picking up where I left off once the contractions passed," she explained to her followers. She even revealed which of her favorite makeup items made the cut into her hospital bag [4]. You'll notice that there are at least 15 brushes, a 35-pan shadow palette, contouring products, Beautyblenders, and more.

While not all moms would go this far with their prebaby beauty routine, we have to applaud Alaha's dedication to her craft — and her ability to create such a gorgeous makeup masterpiece while in pain! Read on to see all the photos.
