Makeup artist Alaha Majid made headlines when she was filmed applying a full face of makeup from her hospital bed while about to give birth to her daughter Sofia, now 18 months old. While glamour is a top priority for the beauty buff, she disputes news reports that she just wanted to look good during childbirth.
"My epidural wore off after three hours," she said. "I was in so much pain, and I didn't want to make everyone around me miserable, so I did my makeup to distract myself. I cranked it up because I was still in pain and had a lot of time to kill. It took me four times as long to do my makeup because of the contractions."
Little Sofia appears to have inherited this passion for all things beauty. She's prone to creeping into the makeup room Majid has at home, where she ransacks the foundation and lipstick drawers and imitates her mom's makeup application. Has a mini makeup artist been born?
