Kat Von D MAkeup !!!!

[pandorablack]

How long is the foundation in Light 42 going to be out of stock?! Surely there can't be THAT many ghostly pale people like me around?!!

I'm Light 42 (well, actually, I'm between Light 42 and 44 but that's a rant for another day) and I can attest to the fact that the shade is sold out all the time. Apparently there ARE a lot of pale people like us around.

Does anyone know the KVD foundation equivalent to MAC's NC25?

The whole Underage Red thing is REALLY reaching in my opinion. I understood people's stance on Celebutard and I respect that. But there are much worse names for cosmetics than Underage Red, which has to do with the feeling of not being able to get in to see your favorite band because your not old enough, hence, Underage, and if you know the music scene she grew up in the color of choice in lipstick was definitely RED. I find it really sad that people's minds go directly toward the salacious and inappropriate for everything nowadays. KAT has even shared openly way before this came up, what the name Underage Red refers to, but instead people choose to go directly to the inappropriate. Personally I never even thought of that when I saw the name until people brought it up. I really think time is better spent elsewhere doing something useful rather than getting on a soapbox about a lipstick name.

In the same respect, I don't understand how a family with the YouTube channel called the Shaytards has millions of subscribers, makes a living off of their channel, etc. I can see how people were offended by Celebutard, but sorry, I just don't see it with "Underage" - I don't think of sex at all when I think of that name - although now because of all this nonsense I probably will. like someone else said, I think more bars/drinking than anything other than that. I'll shut up about it now, back to the makeup! lol

Honestly when I first saw the name Underage Red I thought "oh yeah, a bright red, like the kind of thing a girl buys as her first lipstick." That was my association. It didn't occur to me to be offended. But I suppose it could have some problematic undertones wrt rape culture.

Which names by UD are drug references? I'm in NA and I didn't notice any.

 

[pandorablack]

I also find it interesting that Underage Red is now out of stock at sephora. I mean, I kinda want the shade myself now that people are so upset about it.

Underage Red is my current favorite lipstick and I do not have a backup. I will be pissed as hell if they discontinue it.

I doubt they'll discontinue it . It's still available in the liquid lipstick form which is the one I'm going to end up getting.

I don't know where to start! lol

They have or have had shadows named Kush, Blunt, Baked, Stash, Dope, Mushroom, Laced - those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head

I remember when I first started getting into Urban Decay I was like "wow they name so many things like this" but it never really bothered me, they've always been like that.

I will add Evidence, Loaded, Roach and Maui Wowie to that list, and to the sexual names from UD that could be seen in some not so great light, Perversion, 69, Bang, and Snatch. I mean, what exactly are we supposed to take from an e/s named Virgin? And, does Uncut fall into the sexual or the drug-related category? IJS.

She won't be pulling the color from her line!

I love Kat and I have since I was 14 and watching her show. Her response was very well written and impressive.

 

[sullenxriot182]

I am happy she wrote that too. She has been one of my favorite people since I first found out about her on Miami Ink. I was lucky enough to meet her at one of her book signings a few years ago and was nervous as hell. I had drawn her and her cat Ludwig and framed it to give it to her and she couldn't have been a kinder, more genuine person. She told me it was amazing, and while I'm sure she said that to everyone that gave her artwork, it still was insane to hear that from an artist that you've looked up to for a really long time lol. There were only supposed to be a certain number of people allowed in, so I got there super early and waited all day. Even when tons more people showed up, enough that they weren't guaranteed to get in because they didn't get wristbands, she stayed and signed books for every single one of them. I think she catches a lot of crap in the media and I don't always agree with her choice of relationships (lol Jesse James anyone?) but that's really no one's business anyway, is it? At the end of the day she's a sweetheart and the fact that she came out with her own makeup line made me love her even more!

 

[pandorablack]

I read her response on facebook and thought it was very apt. I personally love Kat Von D, I think she's done a lot for the Latino community (I'm part Latino, so I appreciate that) and I also love that she's in recovery (I am too). Plus her makeup is fab.

I never knew about those UD names, wow. I personally find those names more offensive than Underage Red.

Btw, Lolita is back in stock at sephora for those who don't have it yet...

Damnit! I just made my Sephora order for the month. I really wanted Lolita.

I bought Homegirl, Nars Rita and an Hourglass eyeshadow palette.

 

[stormborn]

auugh Lolita has me so confused! Does anyone know which version this one looks like?

(Random shot off Instagram, this was a repost but the OP posted it about six months ago if that helps narrow it down at all)

I bought one in Dec and one at the beginning of this month. Neither of them looked like the picture on me. I would love thag!

Isn't it gorgeous? I'm afraid I may never track it down! I have a Tarte lipstick that seems like it may be similar but I'm really wanting that liquid matte formula as opposed to a traditional lipstick. The lasting power just doesn't compare.

Might be a filter or weird lighting. But either here or the liquid lipstick thread or the sephora thread someone posted hand swatches and lolita looked more like this on them, they were darker skinned than me so maybe that helped. I'm pale like the girl in pic. Idk. I give up on lolita lol I have the old version in old packaging and the third release now.
