A beauty blogger received a barrage of abuse after jokingly posting a video about a bizarre new 'beauty trend'.

Sophie Hannah Richardson showed her fans an unusual way to use fake eyelashes after reading about how nose hair was going to become the latest cosmetic must have.

The 27-year-old intended the tutorial to be a light-hearted joke, but some viewers were so horrified they lashed out at the blogger in the comments under the Facebook video.

Sophie, from Essex, she filmed herself curling up the black extensions and placing them up each nostril after reading about 'fashionable nose hair' online.

But some viewers did not get the joke and branded Sophie 'disgusting' and even 'offensive' after she posted the funny 18-second clip.

"I thought it was kind of ridiculous," Sophie told Mirror Online.

"I saw an article about how nose hairs were the new trend. I hadn't seen any tutorial videos so I just thought 'why not?'

"After I posted it a lot of people were taking it quite seriously, which was funny.

"One woman even said I'll never get married or have a house or child."

Sophie gave up her job in social media last year to become a full time beauty blogger and has been making videos for three years.

She now has more than 90,000 followers on Facebook and a huge following on Instagram and on her personal blog.

"The feedback I get is mostly positive," she said.

"I never respond to any of the hater comments because that just fuels them."

Sophie was a pioneer of the glitter boobs trend that was seen at festivals across the summer.

She added: "I do a lot of things with glitter. I did a glitter armpit video recently, which got quite a bit of attention recently so I'm going to keep doing the funny videos."

Sophie, who is getting married next year, says she is always on the look out for the next beauty trend.

"I am always looking for new stuff, especially if it contains glitter," she said. "But I don't think nose hairs will be catching on."
