Editor’s note: Reader Kira brought it to my and readers’ attention that the name “Tokio Rose” is problematic. She was kind enough to expand on the history and why it is an issue here. There is a general overview on Wikipedia, too, which was helpful in learning about this term. From reader Kira:

In our American history textbooks in high school, we learned about American wartime propaganda and how Tokyo Rose became a derogatory icon in the American imagination. When I studied East Asian studies in school, it was interesting to learn how the interactions between US soldiers and Japanese after the treaty was signed really shaped a lot of modern stereotypes and prejudices that persist to today — like the interactions between soldiers and sex workers, and how that completely twisted the meaning of the word “geisha” (who are not sex workers, just performers/old-timey party hostesses!), and contributed to the sexualization of Asian women (often this is what people are getting at when they complain that Asian cultures are being exoticized).

Products in the Launch

Lipstick, $42.00 (New, Permanent)

Sumptuous levels of colour saturation, ultra-gliding and easeful application. The lipstick is either satin or matte, dependent on the shade. A satin finish to reflect the light and expand colour – with a vegan formula. A matte finish to absorb light and intensify the colour. In its silver-gold bi-colour metal casing, the form of BYREDO LIPSTICK echoes bamboo – weight and precision are utilised to feel good in the hand. The slim-line stick contained within is sealed with a satisfying magnetic click.

Housed in silver metal, the slim stick with curved bullet tip is designed to be used easily, quickly and instinctively while eschewing ultra-perfection; the intense colour is blendable with fingers or brush. The Colour Stick comes in finishes aligned to corresponding shades, encompassing lightweight dewy, matte and creamy textures suitable for cheeks, eyes and lips.

Defining and buildable to enhance and sculpt the lashes from the root. 85% ingredients of natural origin. In its striking, curved red container; abstract, totemic, and ergonomic the BYREDO MASCARA is as much a treasured object as a beauty tool. Its short, precision silicone brush can be used to reach lashes individually, enhancing and sculpting to apply mascara quickly and easily.

Lip Balm, (New, Permanent)

Clean and conditioning: a sumptuous formulation for performance and kindness. 99.8% natural, ultra hydrating formula, smooth and gliding. One single coat is enough for hours of comfort.

ColourPop Sandstone Collection for Fall 2020

Christine — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 22:58:27 +0000

Release Date + About the Launch

INTRODUCING THE SANDSTONE COLLECTION Our first EVER 18 pan palette inspired by red rock and earthy fall tones ?

9/24, 10 AM PT

ColourPop

Products in the Launch

Editor’s Note: Some indigenous people have pointed out that the use of indigenous patterns/symbols is cultural appropriation (see here and here) on the packaging for this collection, which certainly brings to mind when MAC’s Vibe Tribe released and similar concerns were raised.

For some greater context, Pueblo, which is used as a shade name, can be used to refer to permanent, indigenous settlements or to refer to Pueblo peoples (or Puebloans), who are the indigenous people that populate those settlements in the Southwestern US (like Arizona, where Sedona is home to Red Rock National Park, which is known for vortexes, Bell Rock, and Templeton [Trail]–all additional names found in the palette below) (see an overview at Wikipedia).

ColourPop issued a statement on 9/23: “We want to apologize for the design and names in our latest collection. It was not our intention to offend anyone, and we take your feedback very seriously. We will be updating the packaging design and shade names on the next production run. Thank you for your feedback.”
