“Date night with my first baby… she did our makeup,” Hilaria, 40, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, February 18, alongside a selfie of herself and Carmen for a night out with husband Alec Baldwin. “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 brothers and sisters… all unique and equally incredible.”
In the photo, Hilaria and her eldest daughter posed in front of the mirror showing off Carmen's work, with both mother and daughter in matching glamorous looks.
Hilaria continued her post with a touching tribute to her husband, 65, in honor of their anniversary.
Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin are loving life with their seven little ones. The couple married in New York City in June 2012 and welcomed their first child, daughter, the following year. Before the little one's second birthday, Hilaria announced that the couple was expecting baby No. 2. (The actor previously welcomed his daughter Ireland Baldwin with his then-wife, Kim Basinger, […]
“Today I met you, 13 years ago, @alecbaldwininsta,” she wrote. “What a journey we have made🤍.”
The post drew criticism from some social media users, who flocked to the comments section to question why Hilaria let her child wear so much makeup.

A third person slammed Hilaria for her parenting choices, writing, “I actually think it's sad that people let her kids [wear] make-up and false nails etc at age 10,” while another wrote: “It [says] everything about what kind of parent you are.”
However, other fans quickly came to some fans' defense.
The claws come out when you mess with these famous parents! From Khloé Kardashian to Chrissy Teigen, many stars have clapped back at social media trolls over the years. Case in point: the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum ripped into a Twitter user who called her daughter True “not cute at all” […]
“All these comments about wearing makeup. She's having a great time with her mom and what a great way to do it,” one user replied on Instagram. “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 😍.”
Later on Sunday, Hilairia explained that she always stimulated Carmen's creativity with makeup.
“I remember when you were maybe three, I had just gotten a line of lipstick… and it was bright blue,” Hilaria recalled to Carmen in a video via her Instagram Story. “She wanted to paint her face bright blue. The whole face blue. She looked like a little Smurf and it was super cute. And I was like, go for it, it's art. And now you've gotten so much better at it, because we're going out and I don't look like a Smurf.'
Hilaria Baldwin, Alec Baldwin's wife, has been by his side since they met in 2011. The couple's meeting took place at a restaurant in New York City. “I walked into Pure Food and Wine on Irving Place on an unseasonably warm evening in February,” Alec recalled via Instagram in 2019. “My friend, [Brendan O’Connell] and I sat […]
In addition to Carmen, Hilaria and Alec share sons Rafael, 8, Leonardo, 7, Romeo, 5, and Eduardo, 3, and daughters Lucia, 2, and Ilaria, 16 months. (Alec also shares daughter Ireland Baldwin28, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.)
For his part, Alec had sweet words for his wife in an anniversary post of his own.
“February 18, 2011,” Alec wrote via Instagram on Sunday, alongside a throwback wedding photo. “Things were about to change dramatically. @bocartist and I are wandering Irving Place. And who will I find there? I am more grateful to you than anything.”
