Is there any point in tinting dark lashes/ Pre-birth prep.

I had wanted to get a lash lift pre-birth so I'd look someways decent in photos afterwards, but you can't get a lash lift when preggo. I have dark hair and lashes anyway, not black but dark brown. Will a tint make any kind of difference? I wear glasses so the curl would have been nice.
What else can I get done in the weeks leading up to d-day? I'll be getting my brows threaded beforehand, I've just had my hair cut and will have a trim at around 37 weeks. I don't want to get my nails done in case I end up needing an emergency section or something like that where they need to see my nail bed.
I'm fairly low maintenance at the best of times and am just planning on bringing my cc cream, diorglow lipstick and dandelion blush as the extent of my makeup. I hold zero hopes of applying much of that once baby is here.

Thanks Longlegged and Twotabby. I can't imagine I'll be faffed using eyelash curlers, but I know they do make a difference.

I much prefer lash extensions to LVL but not sure I'd want them for a hot sweaty labour

Holy is this DC no1? I have to say with my first I had the works - highlights refreshed, hair cut, brows and eyelashes done - I’d been exercising until 39 weeks so I was ‘prepped’ or thought I was. Unless you are having an elective c section - save your time and your money! It was expectations like this that gave me post natal depression
