Mum hits back at the online trolls who slammed her for uploading videos of her young daughters applying make-up
Courtney McCutcheon, 28, allowed her daughters, Molly, five and June, three to create their own full-face make-up tutorials
A MUM has hit back at online trolls, who told her to 'DIE' after uploading videos of her young daughters putting make-up on.
Courtney McCutcheon, 28, allowed her daughters, Molly, five and June, three to create their own full-face make-up tutorials.
The mum-of-two then shared the videos on her Instagram page and YouTube channel in September – but soon began to receive abusive messages from web users.
Despite gaining more than 38,000 supportive followers, store manager Courtney received a flood of nasty comments.
Courtney from Branson, Missouri, USA, says: "I started to film makeup tutorial videos of my own in February and the girls were really interested in what I was doing.
"In May, I decided to let Molly and June record their own little make-up videos just for fun.
"They played around with the make-up and pulled faces at the camera, before I removed it all with coconut oil.
"I was really shocked to receive such cruel comments.
"One commented that my daughter was fat and that I should be spending more time teaching her how to eat healthily.
"Another said that I should die for letting them play with make-up and accused me of child abuse.
"I was disgusted. I've always taught my daughters to love everyone and that it doesn't matter about hobbies, skin colour or religion- just be you.
"It saddened me to see that people were commenting without knowing or caring how it would make us feel."
Since May, little Molly has impressed her mum with her talents when it comes to make- up application and contouring.
In one clip, Molly is seen applying lip gloss and eye shadow before pouting and blowing kisses for the camera.
Molly's younger sister, June has also made her own make-up video - where she applies bright pink eye shadow and lip gloss.
Courtney, says: "When Molly first started to show an interest in make-up I didn't think anything of it because she loved to copy me- whether I was cleaning the house or cooking dinner.
"It all started with her drawing on crazy eyebrows and applying smudgy lipstick, but she has quickly evolved into a really talented make -up artist.
"She's always had a passion for art and wants to be an art teacher when she grows up."
Now, Molly plays with make-up once every two weeks, but is only allowed to wear lip gloss while out and about.
Courtney says: "Molly loves to wear make-up but she also knows that she doesn't need it to be pretty.
"I don't think there's any harm in young girls wearing makeup, just as long as they know they are beautiful without it.
"I won't be allowing them out of the house with full makeup on until they're mature young ladies.
"For now, both of my girls just like to play with it for fun.
"They have been brought up not to judge others and I can only hope that internet trolls can learn to do the same."
