Kat Von D’s beauty range for makeup chain Sephora is causing outrage over a lipstick titled “Underage Red.”
People have been expressing their anger online saying things like, “JESUS do they have a whole sex offender line?”
Another person said, “Lipstick named by creeps.”

Why can I still buy “under age red” lipstick on your website @Sephora? I can accept a misstep, but, time to pull it. pic.twitter.com/6X7ZsLUzWT

Sephora has said that the lipstick is actually a cult favourite with customers. It is described as a “matte fire engine red.”
Love make-up, but never found a red lipstick that worked with my skin tone until @thekatvond‘s “Underage Red”. Gracias!! #lipstick #Sephora

Other people who are fans of Kat Von D’s have been seeing the “funny side” to it.
Everyone’s making a big deal because Kat Von D released a new lipstick named “Underage Red” & Sephora is selling it. Who cares?!

What do you think, is the name inappropriate?
