Jade Roper posted sweet snaps of her daughter Emerson doing her own makeup over the weekend, and while the posts undoubtedly melted plenty of hearts, they also received some criticism.
The Bachelor In Paradise vet, 34, shared a message she received from one Instagram user telling her the makeup was 'subconsciously' sending the message to her three-year-old that she was not 'beautiful enough' without it.
