5 Hilarious Lipstick Names We Can't Get Past

Great Lip Colors—But At What Cost?

It’s no secret that cosmetics brands sometimes choose crazy names for their products. Nail polishes often get all the credit, but today, we want to focus on some of our favorite lip brands. With hundreds of options to choose from, we doubt about these guys, so allow us to introduce you!

1. Oh, Put it On

NYX wasn’t messing around when they named this liquid lipstick. It’s a deep plum color perfect for fall, and its name wasn’t shy about poking fun at the community. Look, it’s not always easy to pick the right shade!

2. Grandma

Urban Outfitters’ lip tar products are super pigmented and go on nice and creamy. The flip side is that you need to make your way through some pretty embarrassing names. Case and point: their tangerine shade is simply called “Grandma”!

3. Backdoor

You know what, Urban Decay? We know what you’re doing—and we can’t decide if it’s hilarious or just plain nasty! Their warm brown lip shade is merely called “Backdoor,” and it’s hard to envision smearing it on your mouth.

4. Dopey

Besame is known for having affordable, pigmented shades; they’re less known for the crazy hues named after the seven dwarves. As part of their Snow White collection, Besame had seven little lipsticks, each named after one of the lovable men.

5. Beige

If you can’t cry, laugh about it. This NYX shade is less ha-ha funny and more of a head-scratcher. Why would you name a bright pink gloss “Beige”? We know it’s coming, and yet we fall for it every time!
