Recently, there was a significant uproar on social media regarding Kat von D’s decision to name one of her lipsticks “Underage Red.” Upon hearing this, my immediate reaction was to think, “Why didn’t I come up with that name first?” Is it a provocative choice? Absolutely. However, I find it difficult to understand why it has garnered so much controversy, especially as a parent to a 12-year-old. Since Chanel launched “Vamp” in 1995 and Nars introduced the best-selling “Orgasm” blush, the makeup industry has become progressively bolder in its naming conventions. There’s MAC’s “Nymphette,” Urban Decay’s “Pussy Galore,” and my personal favorite, a chocolate brown eyeshadow called “Backdoor.” Clearly, the intention behind these names is to evoke a reaction.
Kat von D’s Defense
In response to the backlash, Kat von D took to Facebook, defending her choice by stating: “Underage Red is not a dainty pink shade or a sophisticated deep red. It’s a bold, unapologetic red. To me, ‘Underage Red’ represents feminine rebellion. The outrageous claims that my makeup line degrades women are entirely contrary to my principles. If you see the word ‘underage’ and instantly jump to a distasteful conclusion, I encourage you to reflect on your own mindset. Think about the potential harm that such negativity can inflict. Therefore, I will not compromise my integrity or creative freedom. I will not be discontinuing ‘Underage Red,’ nor will I offer an apology.”
If only we had more voices like Kat von D’s in the beauty industry! Although I would love to rush to my local Sephora to purchase this nostalgic shade, I may have to wait a bit longer since it’s already sold out. I do wonder if they still produce Stiff Stuff.
