MAC celebrates the legacy of Selena Quintanilla with 2nd makeup collection
After a successful initial launch, MAC Cosmetics is back with a second makeup collection that pays homage to the late, great pop star Selena Quintanilla.
On Monday, the popular makeup brand announced the launch of the new Selena La Reina collection, which was created alongside the late singer's family.
This new collection is inspired by Selena's unique musical style as well as her distinctive global influence.
"I am forever grateful to MAC for allowing me to bring my creative vision to life for this collection and being able to share what I felt would celebrate my sister's 25th Anniversary," Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla, said in a statement.
One standout in the limited-edition collection is the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom Lipglass, which has a pearlescent pink tone. It was part of the original "MAC Selena" collection that was launched in 2016.
The updated MAC Selena La Reina collection also includes a range of other lip products, a finishing face powder, an eyeshadow palette, and a makeup bag that looks reminiscent of the signature bedazzled bra Quintanilla used to wear when she performed.
"The true inspiration behind the packaging is Selena's iconic rhinestone bra and really led to the holographic feel for the rest of the collection so it pulled everything together," Suzette said in a statement.
Senior national artist Gisel Calvillo also spoke to the vibrant hues through the collection. “The colours in the eye palette range from warm nudes that compliment every skin tone, to some rich-toned earthy browns," she said in a statement. "For lips, we have included an assortment of nudes, rose-toned and red shades that give the perfect pout. The textures run from both matte to shimmery metallic shades to play up your look from day to night."
The first collection was birthed after fans created an online petition in 2015 calling for MAC to create a makeup line inspired by the singer.
Now fans can rejoice and honor the life and legacy of the beautiful Selena once again.
