When I first caught wind of the uproar on Twitter regarding Kat von D’s lipstick shade named “Underage Red,” my initial reaction was, “Wow, why didn’t I think of that first?” Is the name a bit provocative? Of course! But honestly, I’m baffled by the intense backlash. I mean, I have a 12-year-old daughter myself! Since Chanel introduced “Vamp” back in 1995 and Nars’ “Orgasm” became a top-selling blush, makeup brands have been increasingly playful and cheeky with their names. There’s MAC’s “Nymphette,” Urban Decay’s “Pussy Galore,” and let’s not forget my personal favorite—a chocolate brown eye shadow called “Backdoor.” You get the idea.
Kat von D’s Response
Kat von D took to Facebook to clarify her stance, asserting, “‘Underage Red’ is not a sweet, pink hue. It’s not a refined, deep red either. It’s a daring, unapologetic shade of red. To me, ‘Underage Red’ represents feminine defiance. The outrageous claims that my makeup line promotes the degradation of women contradict everything I believe in. If you see the word “underage” and jump to a vile conclusion, I suggest you reflect on your own thoughts. Consider the harm such negativity can inflict. So, NO. I will not compromise my integrity or creative freedom. NO. I will not be removing ‘Underage Red’ from my collection. And NO. This is not an apology.”
A Nostalgic Shade
Can we get a campaign for Kat von D? I’d love to run over to Sephora and grab this nostalgic tube, but unsurprisingly, it’s already sold out. I wonder if they still produce Stiff Stuff.
