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.
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.
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.

Aaliyah super-fans now have a reason to celebrate because Aaliyah for MAC is finally happening!
MAC first made this announcement back in August 2017 and since then, we’ve eagerly awaited the details of the collection. Just like the MAC x Selena Quintanilla’s successful tribute collection, the “Aaliyah for MAC” started off as a fan-driven petition in 2015 on change.org .The petition that was eventually endorsed by her brother Rashad Haughton has since gathered 26,200 supporters. Now, after years of petitioning to the higher powers of the beauty industry, Aaliyah fans are finally being heard.
The MAC x Aaliyah collection is currently in the works. However, it is expected to be dropping on June 20th Online and June 21st 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. “Today we join her countless fans in celebrating her with the announcement of the M.A.C x Aaliyah collection. You made it happen!”
M.A.C also recently announced a casting call to create an A-Z of Aaliyah. This is a short film that will be tied to the launch. Although this is only open to U.S residents, I will provide you with the details. In order to participate, fans need to post a photo or video showing how Aaliyah inspired them and use the hashtags #AaliyahforMAC#AtoZofAaliyah. Top submissions will be flown to New York to be a part of the video. What a treat!
Here is what you can expect from the collection.
Of all the M.A.C collections set to launch in 2018, this is arguably the most highly anticipated. Details surrounding the collection are still minimal at best but fans can definitely expect a 90’s inspired glam. What we know so far is that there is an eye shadow palette with nine beautiful matte and shimmer shades. The palette has a moody, sultry vibe to it and of course, M.A.C has gone above and beyond with the packaging.

Any lip products?
It wouldn’t be an Aaliyah collection without a lip product given her lip gloss supremacy. The second product is a nude/coffee-like lipstick as the star was often seen with nude or glossy lips.
She also did occasionally rock a red lip and that is included as well.
I love the packaging of the lipsticks which is metallic wine; very grown and sexy -Just like Aaliyah’s music. The silver Aaliyah signature is also a lovely touch for her fans.
Aaliyah was apparently a fan of M.A.C. products. This was made known after an exclusive interview with ‘Sisters in Style’ magazine resurfaced where she had mentioned that she used MAC products. Her brother Rashad confirms this when he mentioned that her go-to products from this brand were Chestnut Lip liner and Espresso eye shadow. (Props that Rashad held on to that knowledge)
There is still so much suspense with this collection and there isn’t any word on the price of the products just yet. I can’t wait to see the entire collection put together!
