Makeup

So i read something about Makeup can cause birth defects? Is this true? Like some makeup you use can get into your pores & cause some damage to the baby?

Lmao,  please don't believe this. I've seen mothers to be brag about smoking their entire pregnancy. Something so Toxic that it causes extreme birth defects and they still won't stop. If it makes you feel safer to be simple, I'm happy for you ♥

Lol there's so much on the Internet that isn't true. People can write whatever they want. Make up is harmless.

I guess they can't put anything on the internet that's not true... If your makeup is so toxic it causes Birth Defects you should choose a different band. I wear makeup everyday and my skin is flawless ♥

I highly doubt that makeup can cause birth defects, have you seen how much makeup celebrities wear even when they are pregnant, if make up did that then celebrities would have babies with tons of defects. Same thing goes for hair dye. Don't worry,use makeup if you want. I know it helps me feel pretty when I'm feeling ugly lol

I have heard that too. So I asked my doctor at my last appointment and he told me that although some makeups are not recommended for everyday use that even if you did use them everyday there's not enough harmful stuff in even the entire bottle to cause harm to your baby. Lol so he told me to be pretty whenever I felt like it.

I wore make up all day everyday with my first. He is now a perfectly healthy 22 month old, no birth defects.
