The three products in question now have been renamed to:

Bloom (Yikes)
Point Dume (Dume)
Platonic (Typo)

Still awful names :nails:

We should rename them tbh. I'm a fan of fruits and flavors being used for colors myself :hor:

Spoiler

(Gummy bear) Frost
(Venice) Pearl
(Illuminati) Lime
(Castle) Peach
(Often) Squash
(Refriend) Brick
(Adulting) Coconut
(Dove) Cement
(Easy Peasy) Ash
(Yikes) Ebony
(Dume) Wood
(Typo) Dark Chocolate

At least you'd actually get an idea of what the color is from these names^ :smh:

In all fairness, coming up with names for brown colors is hard :oprah: but not impossible.

Whimsical bitch

I'm actually ok with Bloom, but you're right!

I own tons of colourpop and keep up with the brand semi-religiously, and this is the first time I've heard anyone bring up the contour sticks. There was recently an issue with a lipstick named "Gypsy" in turn that will be pulled and renamed. They are really good at fixing issues like this

It looks like they just went with the first words that came to mind.

"Refriend" though, WTF is that? :madge:

I read the article and I still can't see how this is offensive.

These people are really working their asses off to find that hidden racism. :applause:
