Why do people put makeup on babies?

I seen several posts like this on FB. I know it’s not doing the baby any harm but it just seems kind of weird to me. They’re an infant. It’s not like a toddler or kid who’s playing around with kids makeup. The mother went out of her way to put all this makeup on a baby just for social media. 🤷‍♀️


For example :

She’s cute but it’s so extra for no reason.

May be the parents want to make the childhood special, in their way. That's why. Nothing bad in this. Some cute pics don't harm, just remain as memories.
They’re not going to remember this. I doubt any kid wants to sit around either for someone to cake makeup on their face. @SW-User

@MorbidCynic it's their kid, let them do what they want. You don't care about their kids, more than her own mother. You are just here to critcize them. Use your rules on your kid instead of trying to find flaws in others.
@SW-User I never said it wasn’t their kid but I’m allowed to have my opinions and criticize who I want. Just like they can cake outrageous amounts of makeup on their kid. Even as another poster said, adult makeup has strong chemicals that can harm a babies skin. Hence why baby products are different from adult products because they need to be more gentle. But sure, fuck up your kids skin for social media 😂 even some makeup is too strong for my adult skin. I can’t imagine what it will do to a baby,

@MorbidCynic Using some products for a short time won't do harm. Its not acid the way you're acting. And, as I said, you don't care about her child more than her own mother. Use your rules on your kid instead of criticising others.
@SW-User I can criticize who I want. Follow your own advice. It’s my post, I can say what I want 😂 and I’m just saying, I used a primer and kept it on for a couple hours and half my face became red and my skin dried out and turned flakey. It was on only for a short period when this happened.
