I started listening to her when I was eight years old, singing her sultry songs even when I didn’t realize how inappropriate they were for how young I was at the time. I couldn’t be more excited to get my hands on a small tribute to her legacy. The second showcases an eye palette filled with smoky shades, similar to the hues she wore in videos like “ Try Again,” “ We Need a Resolution,” and “ Are You That Somebody,” as well a few shimmering shadows for a dash of dazzle. The first picture featured a tawny brown lipstick synonymous with the ’90s that fans are guessing will be called “Rock the Boat” after her final single (though I think the cafe au lait-colored lipstick could easily be called Baby Girl after Timbaland and Missy’s nickname for her).

The petition received support with over 26,000 signatures as well as serious support from her brother Rashad Haughton, Missy Elliott, and even Aaliyah’s former makeup artist Eric Ferrell.Īfter hearing the fans loud and clear, MAC is tapping them to help celebrate the star’s studio and screen achievements with a short film called “A-Z of Aaliyah” made in partnership with i_D. According to the brand’s Instagram post, superfans can post a photo or video of themselves showing how Aaliyah has inspired them and tag the hashtags #AtoZofAaliyah and #AaliyahForMAC, and the top submissions will be flown to New York to be a part of the video.Ī post shared by M♺♼ Cosmetics on at 9:00am PDTĪnd if that weren’t enough good news, the beauty brand took to Instagram to offer a look at what fans can expect to snap up when the collection drops this summer. The Aaliyah collection shares a similar origin story last year’s Selena x MAC collaboration, as the singer was a well-known MAC fan who often wore “Chelsea Lipstick, Cherish Lipstick, Chestnut Lipliner, espresso eyeshadow, and biscuit eyeshadow,” according to a fan petition to the brand that was launched back in 2015. Though the collaboration was announced back in August 2017, fans hadn’t heard much more until yesterday when the brand tweeted that the collection will be released online on June 20th and will hit MAC store the next day. You can also get a hold of the Try Again matt lipstick or a sheer nude lip gloss in a shade called Brooklyn Born.We won’t have to wait much longer to get our hands on the MAC collection commemorating the late (and still great) R&B songstress, Aaliyah. “She always dreamed of having her own makeup line, and we wanted it to feel familiar but also be able to move into the future, because she was always so revolutionary with her looks.” The newly released Aliyah MAC makeup line includes the Baby Girl bronzing powder. It goes to show how relevant Aliyah still is both in pop culture and beauty lifestyle. Nearly two decades after her tragic death in a plane crash Vogue points out how much this collection feels as authentic to Aaliyah as any other beauty line fronted by a living celebrity – Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Kardashian-West among them.
We were able to grab them and show them to MAC,” Haughton said.
She actually has my sister’s make-up, her lipsticks still.
There was actually a social media petition that asked MAC to consider creating one. “My mother has these storage units that she always talks about trying to downsize. He goes on to give credit to Aaliyah’s fans who his mother calls “the special ones.” He says they are the reason this collaboration is here in the first place. They are very protective of my sister, which is heartwarming.” “But if they see something that is not approved by, they attack it. “My sister’s fans are so lovely and respectful,” he said. Rashad Haughton, Aaliyah’s older brother and longtime collaborator and confidant co-created this limited-edition line in her honour. Late RnB singer, Aaliyah has become the latest inspiration for a new M.A.C cosmetics collection launching this month. 17 years after her passing, MAC collaborates with Aaliyah to produce a Make-up collection inspired by her music and lifestyle.
