Kim, who was releasing the lipstick, had hit back, saying: ‘She picked it though! It’s a special occasion!’

Speaking previously of North’s love for cosmetics in an interview with Refinery 29, recently Kim argued that while she lets her daughter experiment, she wants to make sure her use of make-up is ‘appropriate’ too.

The star argued: ‘I don’t think she should wear lashes or too dark of a lipstick. I want her to express herself, but I want her to be appropriate too.’

Kim continued: ‘I already know North is into make-up for sure… when companies send make-up and I have a lot, I’ll give it to her.’
