AN up and coming British YouTuber has come under attack from trolls and bullies after shooting a series of videos which show him in full makeup.
Georgie Aldous, 18, a budding make-up artist, has faced abuse in the streets of his hometown after uploading YouTube films calling on men to embrace traditionally female cosmetics.
He's also been barracked by online trolls and even argued with his mum after getting attention with his bold videos.
"There's such a huge stigma around men wearing make-up and it is annoying," he told The Sun Online.
"Seeing just women on make-up ads and posters really bugs me and make-up companies really need to feature men more.
"I love wearing make-up and doing different looks but i always feel like i'm going to get laughed at or attacked in my town, which is not okay.
"People ask me why I wear makeup if I am a boy and told me to stop trying to be a girl.
"I even had someone shout 'slow down gay boy' at me in my local town when i had make-up on."
He showed us private Twitter messages from sick trolls and said bullies had tried to shame him out of wearing makeup.
But the criticism has just strengthened Georgie's resolve to "shove gender roles in people's face".
He added: "They make me want to make MORE videos of me wearing and talking about make-up just to challenge them and make them think.
