Images of a destroyed Sephora makeup counter have gone viral after makeup artist Brittney Nelson posted them on social media over the weekend, but the shock associated with the shots isn’t just limited to the mess.
Nelson’s Facebook post pegs that “$1,300 worth of Make Up For Ever eye shadow was destroyed due to a small child” at a Sephora store in Augusta, GA. She has since received backlash after suggesting moms should “shop for makeup without your tiny humans.”
@Sephora This is not okay, as if it isn’t hard enough for a mom to be out in public with her young kids 1) the employees didn’t SEE who did this 2) that’s a good 4ft up unless this 2yo is the size of a 10yo I doubt it was a “young child.”

INSIDER spoke to Nelson regarding the post and she stands by what she said, stating the post was “not mom-shaming or kid-hating in the least.”
“I woke up to the internet mob of insanity because of my one cranky post. I honestly don’t think I said anything 99 percent of people don’t think anyway so I’m not that devastated by the hurricane of it,” she told INSIDER. “I’ve seen messed up testers a gazillion times throughout the years from tiny humans. If I do see a kid doing that in a store I will just offer to help the mom out. That’s what us moms do!”
