Do you plan to wear makeup during labor at the hospital? I'm thinking it would be nice to have some on since so many pictures will be taken. I also know that it will probably be smeared and sweat off by the time baby arrives...then I'll be too exhausted to wash it off/clean myself up.
What are your makeup or no makeup plans?
Re: Makeup during labor?
waterproof mascara
and thats IT
It depends on when I go into labor. If it's during the day then I will be wearing it anyway and if it's at night then no!.
I don't anticipate very many (if any) pictures being taken of me when I'm actually in labor.
The pictures will be once the baby is here, and no matter what I look like at the beginning, I'm pretty sure I'll look awful by the time I've actually given birth.
I'll put makeup on once I shower after delivery, but I'm not going to worry about it before labor! (If I happen to go into labor during the day and I already have makeup on, I won't take it off or anything, but I won't be applying makeup while I'm in labor.)
I know when the time comes it will probably be the last thing on my mind, but I would really like to put on some make up before I go into labor! There will be lots of pictures taken and stuff and I want to look cute. After giving birth and sweating though it may not look so good anymore though...
I don't know. It seems like a good idea but I just don't think I'll end up doing it.

I did all of this when I had DS.
But no pics were taken of me until hours later after DS was here... and you could not tell I'd done all of that. LOL
I'll do it again though, if I can.

I plan to because I don't leave my house without it. That being said, I'm not a mascara/lipstick person, my makeup is mainly to make my bad skin look good, not to make me looked dolled up. If I'm too tired to wash it off, then one night wearing makeup to bed won't kill me. At worst I'll have a new pimple or two the next day. More likely than not it'll all be sweated off anyway.

Considering I plan to make use of the shower in the L&D room to help with the pain (I'm told it helps) I don't plan on wearing any makeup. However, I normally don't wear makeup?even though I should. I look good with makeup.
Heck, if I sweat?and I probably will?my hair will be a mess anyway. So I just may quickly blow dry my bangs after I give birth (5 minutes) and THEN have the family portrait after the baby is all cleaned up.
