The Uproar Over Kat von D’s “Underage Red” Lipstick
When I first caught wind of the uproar on social media about a certain lipstick shade called “Underage Red” from Kat von D, my immediate reaction was, wow, why didn’t I think of that name? Sure, it’s a bit provocative, but honestly, I don’t understand why it’s causing such a stir. And yes, I have a 12-year-old daughter!
Makeup brands have been getting bolder with their names for years. Remember Chanel’s “Vamp” from back in ’95? And Nars’ “Orgasm” has been flying off the shelves for ages. We’ve also got MAC’s “Nymphette,” Urban Decay’s “Pussy Galore,” and my personal favorite, a brown eyeshadow called “Backdoor.” You can see the cheekiness in those names, right?
Kat von D’s Defense
Kat von D defended her choice on Facebook, explaining that “Underage Red” isn’t a soft, girly pink or a sophisticated deep red. It’s a fierce, unapologetic shade that embodies feminine rebellion. She firmly stated that any allegations suggesting her makeup line promotes the degradation of women are completely against her values. She urged people to reflect on their own thoughts if they immediately jump to negative conclusions about the name. Kat made it clear she won’t be removing “Underage Red” from her collection, nor will she apologize for it. Honestly, can we just nominate her for president already?
I was all set to rush to Sephora and grab a tube of this nostalgic shade, but of course, it’s already sold out. I wonder if they still have Stiff Stuff in stock.
