Hilaria Baldwin was criticized for allowing her daughter Carmen, 10, to wear full makeup on a fun night out.
After sharing an adorable mirror with her little girl on Instagram on Sunday night, the mother of seven was attacked online for revealing that the preteen had done ‘both’ makeup.
“Date night with my first baby…she did our makeup. How quickly they grow up and how wonderful it is to be inspired by them. Carmen, you are such a special soul…just like your siblings…all unique and equally incredible,” she captioned the image.
Within minutes, commenters began questioning whether it was appropriate for a child so young to experiment with makeup.

“Isn’t she too young for makeup?” someone asked.
Another wrote: ‘Why do these celebrities make their kids look so grown up? Why all that makeup??’
‘She’s a child. Please!’ a third commented.
Despite a plethora of critical comments, a fellow mom pointed out that the duo simply “had a good time” together and that bonding through makeup is a “great way to” connect.
‘My daughter and I did each other’s make-up, it’s a great way to bond, especially with the eldest in a large family. Please be kind,” the fan urged others.
Another commented: ‘Makeup or no makeup, the reason why this beautiful girl stands tall and proud next to her mother is the fact that she has wonderful parents, who allow her to discover and be herself. ‘
Later, Hilaria, who is married to actor Alec Baldwin, told her more than 993,000 followers on her Instagram Story that she has “always let her” daughter “play with makeup.”
While sitting next to Carmen in the backseat of a car, the former yoga instructor recalled that, at age three, her eldest used a line of lipstick she had received in the mail to paint her “face bright blue.”

“It looked like a little Smurf, and it was super cute,” Hilaria said. “And now you’ve gotten so much better at it, because we’re going out and I don’t look like a Smurf.”
She then shared a hilarious throwback of Carmen with her face painted blue while dressed in a purple princess dress with a temporary pink butterfly tattoo on her arm.
‘Omg omg omg we found it!!!’ she captioned the photo, taken in 2017.

This isn’t the first time Hilaria has gotten in trouble for letting Carmen raid her makeup and show closet.
In 2022, the mom received backlash after sharing photos of Carmen wearing bright red lipstick, blush and a smoky gray eyeshadow at lunch ahead of her ninth birthday.
Additionally, the little girl raised eyebrows for wearing high heels and press-on nails.
