What do you think you are doing?

Hi,
Could you please explain the idiom 'What do you think you are doing'?
In what situation you would say it?

Thanks a lot.

When you catch somebody doing something they shouldn't, you say that, like if you catch your 4-year-old putting lipstick on the cat.

Yes, something like "It seems that you imagine that what you are doing is acceptable when it is not."
