Cardi B Lets Kulture, 3, Do Her Makeup & The Rapper Ends Up with a Very Messy Face — Watch
Cardi B proved that she’s not just a fierce rapper and style icon, but also a loving mom willing to let her 3-year-old daughter, Kulture, have a little fun with her makeup. In a hilarious Instagram video posted on February 10, the superstar allowed her little one to play makeup artist, resulting in a messy (yet incredibly adorable) makeover.
The video showed a calm Cardi lounging on a pillow, her head tilted back as Kulture applied makeup to her eyes and lips. Using her tiny fingers instead of a brush, Kulture smeared plum and mauve shades across Cardi’s eyelids, creating a look that could only be described as “bruised chic.” A touch of bright peach was added to the left eyelid, adding an unexpected pop of color.
Cardi’s facial expression as the makeup was being applied was priceless. At one point, she asked, “Do I look pretty?” with a slight “hmm” as she checked her reflection on her phone. The makeup, while certainly unconventional, added a fun and heartwarming layer to the mother-daughter bond. The results were less than glamorous — with a smudge of plum makeup under her right eye, on her nose, and even on her lips — but the love and patience between the two were undeniable.
The video quickly went viral, with fans gushing over the sweet moment. Many took to the comments to praise Cardi’s parenting, calling her a great mom. One fan, @mrs._bitch0714, wrote, “You are a great mom I see the love you have for your beautiful baby girl,” while @sherry_gbubbz added, “You are a good momma.” Another fan, @za.ra9728, reminded Cardi to cherish these moments, as “This will be her memory forever.”
This isn’t the first time Cardi has allowed Kulture to play makeup artist. In a previous Instagram video posted on January 30, Kulture applied a smokey grey eyeshadow with a brush, resulting in a much neater — yet still equally endearing — look. Cardi even joked, “Erika La’ Pearl could never,” tagging her professional makeup artist, Erika, in the caption.
While the results of Kulture’s latest makeup attempt might not be magazine-cover ready, the heartwarming interaction between mother and daughter is something fans will surely remember forever. It’s moments like these that show Cardi B’s down-to-earth side and her dedication to being a hands-on, loving mom, despite her superstar status.
