Yes, but after I wrote the above post, I later thought that there is always a connection between brand and model where something can go wrong, or respectively where the model does / says something that we do not agree with. Only in this case, KvD is her own model.
I just thought of people who represent MAC, for example in their VG campaigns or in collaborations; for example recently Miley Cyrus, Rihanna or Lady Gaga; or that Rodarte collaboration that went wrong (though I am not sure whether the origin of it was more with MAC or more with the fashion company); or NARS and Guy Bourdin, MUFE and Shades Of Grey, all rather controversial campaigns.
So also in those cases it can happen that someone does not agree with these topics / subjects / people and thus does not buy, only usually it is more of a skip of a certain collection than going off the brand completely - not scientific research but just what I figured from the discussions, so it is probably a skewed picture. Basically what I am saying is that in those cases I mostly see posts like: I do not like [name of spokesperson]'s music / public persona, so I will probably skip the lipstick" but rarely posts such as: "ok, MAC screwed up with choosing [insert random name] as spokesperson, I will probably not buy MAC again". With KvD representing her own company, the mistakes somehow seem to be more intense.
But of course you are right, everyone has their own boundaries, while this may not bug me much, other things that most people don't mind might have already crossed my limits. I am not saying anything is right or wrong, just trying to defuse the situation because sometimes internet outrage over a certain person can explode really quickly. That is why I wanted to highlight a few other discussion points to consider.
I would not have considered this colour but now I do.
