Stranger Things actor Millie Bobby Brown is the latest star to land in hot water for only pretending to use the beauty brand she was promoting. Previously, Kylie Jenner was called out on Twitter for washing her face “wrong” with her Kylie Skin products and Shay Mitchell was called out on social media in a “fake” makeup review row.

The young actress, 15, posted a video on Instagram where she attempted to show her followers how she uses her own skincare line, Florence by Mills.

Throughout the video, it doesn’t look like she’s applying any products and her makeup remains intact - especially her eyeliner which never once comes off of her face. Some fans asked online if it was a prank, taking to Reddit to question the authenticity of the video.

Brown responded on Instagram Thursday night with a notes app apology she wrote to her 28.8 million followers.

“I’m still learning the best way to share my routines as I get to know this space better — I’m not an expert," she wrote in the oft-used apology app.

She continued, “I thought doing a quick video replicating my personal process for that night was okay, but that’s not what was conveyed. I understand, I appreciate all of your feedback on this journey, please keep sharing your thoughts and I will too!”
