Some say the name suggests it's either for young girls trying to look sexy, or for women of legal age who are trying to look young.

The "Underage Red" lipstick has been on sale for more than a year. This isn't the first time the collaboration between Sephora and Von D has been the center of unwanted media attention. In 2013, Sephora was widely criticized for stocking a lipstick called "Celebutard".
