8 Products We Think Will Be in M.A.C’s Aaliyah Collection

by Souzan Michael January 16, 2018

What the internet wants, the internet gets. After years (seriously: years!) of tweeting #AaliyahforMAC, fans of the late singer will be thrilled to know that M.A.C Cosmetics has officially confirmed the release of a collection inspired by the late singer’s beauty looks. Prior to the confirmation from M.A.C, there was even a petition for a collection, that closed at over 26,000 signatures.

“We want M.A.C to be the first brand to reintroduce Aaliyah’s legacy to the world in a format that it has never been given before,” reads the petition. “Aaliyah’s brother Rashad Haughton says that Aaliyah was a big fan of M.A.C. He also goes on to say,” that he approves of the idea for a limited edition collection by M.A.C for her.”

“This campaign is officially supported by: Aaliyah’s Brother Rashad Haughton, Aaliyah LLC, Aaliyah’s official twitter: @aaliyahhaughton, Missy Elliott, Aaliyah’s glam squad: Makeup Artist: Eric Ferrell, Hairstylist Tre Major, and Fashion Stylist Derek Lee.”

The petition was even endorsed by another star with her own M.A.C petition, Missy Elliott.

Today we join Aaliyah's countless fans in celebrating her with the announcement of the MAC Aaliyah collection. #AaliyahforMAC pic.twitter.com/jTVuEN9kcj

If you remember, this is exactly how the M.A.C x Selana collection came about

The collection will be released this summer (2018), so we still have a ways to go. In the meantime, take a look at Aaliyah’s best style moments, and browse the list below for some classic Aaliyah beauty moments, and the M.A.C products we think her style will inspire.
