An Ode to Baby girl in Shape of Makeup / AALIYAH
Just like the Selena Quintanilla’s collection, AALIYAH for MACwas collection created due to public demand. Fans coming together from all over the world to let their wish be known. Consequently, Mac Cosmetics had no choice but to hear us! This collection is a family effort. Quite literally.
Curious about MAC’s new Aaliyah tribute collection? In the past few days, several previews have hit the YouTube-verse, giving us the real on what to expect from this highly anticipated launch. Created in collaboration with the late singer’s older brother, Rashad Haughton, Aaliyah for MAC will be available online June 20 and hit MAC stores June 21.
The MAC x Aaliyah collection is currently in the works. Tv tuner for mac. However, it is expected to be dropping on June 20 th Online and June 21 st in stores. “Aaliyah is truly a one in a million- an unstoppable icon whose groundbreaking work in R&B music and Film inspires us all,” the brand said in a statement. You might recall the Aaliyah for MAC collection first started out as a fan-driven campaign after the success of the MAC x Selena collection of 2016. (This editor still counts Dreaming of You as one of her all-time favorite lipsticks!) MAC heard the pleas of fans of the singer and actress and created a warm espresso-esque lipstick shade and a.
Aaliyah’s family, friends and former makeup artists finally came together to make sure each item honored baby girl and her minimalist, sleek effortless style. AALIYAH for MACis a lip heavy collection. For a makeup nut like myself it is heaven! All the lip colors are inspired by looks Liyah wore on the red carpet and some of them are inspired by her music videos. My favorite of the collection is LiLi’s motor cityis the perfect everyday color. I’ll be posting swatches and looks very soon.
The lipsticks, bronzing powder & eye shadow palette comes in a gorgeous wine red/burgundy color. It mimics the background color in Aaliyah’s first cassette with the ‘Age ain’t nothing but a number’ single. Talk about attention to detail.
‘Try again’ it’s the perfect nude if you have a medium to dark skin tone like. Seems like all colors have a lipglass to be paired with. ‘Try again’ + ‘Brooklyn born’ on top is perfection. It looks even more beautiful, specially in a smokey and light bronzed face combo.
A Fan Must Have cause we just get it!
So, this collection is based on Liyah’s videos & her own makeup bag that her mother kept in storage. Therefore this collection is random. As a fan looking at it, I don’t think it was meant to ”cater” to us anyways. With things we need or what we like. It’s literary a little piece of her world. What she wore everyday, what she liked. Stuff she picked herself, this one detail alone makes this collection even more personal.
Again, because the colors were based on the colors she had on her makeup bag right before she left us, that’s what makes this collection unique and special. I’m so grateful for it, but if you are not an obsessed fan some items will go right over your head (Bronzing Powder anyone?). I got the Vault and every item separately so I can wear it in special occasions!!

Finally, have a look below! I made a little list with some of my favorite Aaliyah songs. I love them all the same, each and every single one of them represents my childhood. Even though a 11 year old shouldn’t be enjoying ”Rock the Boat”so much. Dude. That’s was (and still) my jam! ”Try Again”is my ultimate ‘pick me up’ song.

I hope you enjoyed scrolling through or/and actually reading this post as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Aaliyah is a timeless icon that will forever be part of my life. This collection is my most precious collectible so far. Enjoy Liyah’s angelic voice & some of Timbaland’s unmistakable beats below.

There’s about to be some gorgeous makeup coming your way so start saving up for next summer. MAC Cosmetics is releasing a new makeup collection inspired by the late R&B star Aaliyah.
It’s been 16 years since singer Aaliyah Haughton passed away, but her memory lives on.
The actress and singer, with hit songs Are You That Somebody and Rock the Boat, died in 2001 in a tragic plane crash at the oh so young age of 22.
Aaliyah still continues to inspire as the 90’s icon has signature style: cropped tops and baggy pants still trending in the fashion stakes. And that’s above and beyond how much her music is still loved. Now we have another way to remember her… MAC Cosmetics is releasing a limited-edition collection in the star’s honor.

Fans created a Change.org petition two years ago, asking MAC to honour the late singer. This petition was supported by Aaliyah’s brother Rashad Haughton, and got close to a whopping 27,000 signatures. The petition listed some of the late icon’s favorite MAC products, like the Chelsea Lipstick, Cherish Satin Lipstick ($26), Chestnut Lip Pencil ($25), and Espresso Shadow ($15) and Biscuit Shadow.
“We want her legacy to be continued and be reintroduced with a collection through MAC Cosmetics,” the petition read.
MAC had similarly launched a line for Selena Quintanilla, known for her winged liner and red lips. In a video teasing the collection, they wrote:
“Aaliyah is truly ‘One in a Million’ — an unstoppable icon whose groundbreaking work in R&B music and film inspires us all. Today, we join her countless fans in celebrating her with the announcement of the MAC Aaliyah collection.”
We don’t know much about the details of the collection but fans have requested “eyeshadows, lipsticks, lipliners, lip glosses, contour and highlight, beauty powder, false eyelashes, and eyebrow pencils” that represent the greatly missed icon. Some of Aaliyah’s favourite shades have been discontinued but we can hope that they’ll be re-launched for a limited time!
The line is set to launch in summer 2018 and of course Aaliyah fans went crazy (yes including me) using the hashtag #AaliyahforMAC!
