Reality TV star Kat Von D has refused to apologize for naming one of the lipsticks in her make-up range 'Underage Red', despite coming under fire from critics who claim the label is 'creepy' and 'offensive'.

The 33-year-old, whose real name is Katherine von Drachenberg, addressed the controversy surrounding the $21 lip product's controversial name in a long post which was published on her Facebook page on Friday afternoon.

'It has never been a goal of mine to inspire sexualization of any sort, let alone promote a destructive lifestyle,' she wrote.

'Anyone who knows or follows me, is very aware of my personal lifestyle choices which include celibacy, sobriety, conscious living and [above feminism], human rights. Although, I would never force my views and opinions onto others, I most definitely find it offensive being accused of the opposite.

'These wild, and horrific accusations proclaiming that any aspect of my makeup line would ever promote the degradation of women, statutory rape, sexual behavior, human trafficking, underage drinking, or even idealization of fleeting youth, goes against everything I stand for.

'So, please excuse me if I find those articles and comments appalling and inaccurate.'

The tattoo artist-turned-beauty expert went on to suggest that anyone who 'automatically jumped to a disgusting conclusion' upon hearing about the lipstick's name should 'question their own mind and thoughts' - insisting that anyone who criticized the 'Underage Red' name was inflicting further damage with their 'negativity'.

She added: 'So, NO. I refuse to sacrifice my integrity and creative freedom. NO. I will not be pulling "Underage Red" from my collection. And NO. This is not an apology.'

Ms Von D ended the post by thanking those 'fans' who had stood by her throughout the controversy - and reassured her customers that the lipstick, which is currently sold out, would soon be returning to shelves, permanently.

' Thank you for your support, always,' she said.

'I ask that you don't engage in arguing with those who may not agree, or understand. The truth is, there ARE real existing problems in this world, and the last thing we need is to lose focus in pointless arguments.

'I also ask that you please not worry! Yes, "Underage Red" is currently sold out (I believe due to all the long time fans of this shade assuming I might discontinue it). But rest assured, it'll be back in stock as soon as possible for you.'

Despite Ms Von D's 'Underage Lipstick' being included in her beauty products line-up for a number of years now, the controversy surrounding its name only began to unfold last week, after critics hit out at beauty giant Sephora on social media, calling for the brand to pull the lipstick from its shelves.

'Went shopping for some makeup. How on earth is this a lipstick color?' one person questioned on Twitter, after posting a picture of the lipstick name.

'JESUS do they have a whole sex offender line?' someone else tweeted.

'Lipstick named by creeps,' another person added.

Some people, however, chose to see the 'funny side' of the bizarrely-named lipstick, which is believed to have launched around a year ago in stores, and others went as far as to defend Ms Von D's decision to opt for such a risky name.

'So dumb that people are upset over a lipstick color,' one girl tweeted.

'"Underage Red" is a hilarious title, especially coming from Kat Von D. Its funny, guys.'

The lipstick, which is currently available on the Sephora website and in select stores, is described as being a 'matte fire engine red' and is also highlighted by Sephora as being a 'cult favorite' with its customers.

Other names included in the Studded Kiss Lipstick line-up include Lolita, Hellbent, and Sexer.

In addition to being stocked across Sephora's US-based stores, two types of 'Underage Red' lipsticks are also available at Sephora's first Australian store in Sydney, which opened on December 5 last year.

They include the Everlasting Liquid Finish Lipstick for AUD $30 ($20) and the Studded Kiss Lipstick for $31 ($21).

Interestingly, it is not the first time that the name choices for these lipsticks have been questioned by Sephora's customers.

Outrage: Many people have tweeted their horror at the controversial lipstick name

Under fire: It is not yet known how Sephora will respond to the controversy surrounding the lipstick name

In November 2013, the cosmetics company was forced to issue an apology to its customers and pull a Kat Von D lipstick with the shade description 'Celebutard' from its stores and website after receiving numerous complaints about the 'insensitivity' of the lipstick's name.

'It has come to our attention that the name of one shade of a lipstick we carry has caused offense to some of our clients and others,' a Sephora spokesperson said in a statement at the time.

'We are deeply sorry for that, and we have ceased sale of that shade both in our stores and online.'

According to People.com, Ms Von D refused to apologize for the controversial lipstick moniker and even took to Twitter to defend the name, saying: 'At the end of the day, it's just a f*****g lipstick.'

The Kat Von D beauty range is also not the only make-up collection to include a lip product bearing the suggestive label.

MAC cosmetics are also currently marketing an 'Underage' lip gloss - despite parents calling for the popular beauty brand to change the name.

'In what world is naming a lipgloss Underage a good idea?' one person tweeted at the time, while another stated: 'Can't get over @MACcosmetics naming a lipgloss 'Underage'. So gross.'
