Bidi Bidi Bom Bom! Selena Quintanilla-Pérez is finally honored with her very own lipstick with M.A.C Cosmetics.
Early last year M.A.C Cosmetics listened to fans from all over in regards to a lipstick dedicated to the late multi-talented singer, fashion designer Selena Quintanilla-Perez. This week the brand finally revealed via social media the first look at the lipstick from the multi-product limited edition collection.
“Selena’s talent and beauty, inside and out, have left a colorful, meaningful impact in the world that has continued to grow over the last two decades,” M.A.C creative director James Gager told PEOPLE last year. “We have heard the passion and enthusiasm from her fans and wholeheartedly agree that her legacy embodies M.A.C’s philosophy. We are so excited to announce a Selena-inspired M.A.C collection debuting in the latter part of 2016.”
It’s been over 21 years since the queen of Tejano music was tragically murdered; however, the vivacious artist still remains iconically relevant in this era. Selena was known for her exotic outfits, the ability to put on an electrifying performance. While she was known for many unforgettable amazing songs, nothing stood out more than her smile and those signature red lips. Selena embodied style way before her time, there were even talks of her own makeup line prior to her passing.
“I wanted the colors to be about her personally, what she wore on and offstage,” Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister tells PeopleStyle exclusively. “She has been gone for 21 years already, and for this collaboration to happen, it’s pretty much incredible. It just shows the love her fan base has even though she’s gone; that her music still lives on and her legacy has grown tremendously since she’s passed. It’s a great honor to have M.A.C collaborate with Selena’s name and her fans — for her fans.”
This collection is just another perfect accolade to keep her memory alive. Like most notable M.A.C collections, it will surely sell out quite fast. This limited edition collection will launch October 2016
