The Selena line will debut during a free event in Corpus Christi on September 30. Especially since I had bought most of Selena part 1 collection I believed that part 2 would also encompass Selena’s makeup style.

"It shows the love that her fans have and that her music and legacy still lives on and has grown tremendously since she passed." When I heard that MAC was doing a Selena part 2 collection, I was thrilled. She would be over the moon about this," said Arriaga. "I think Selena would be super surprised and ecstatic to have MAC come knocking at the door. "I wanted to make sure that it was true to what she would wear, and I feel like the colors and tones are perfect and represent her perfectly."Ī petition for a Selena-inspired makeup line spurred MAC to reach out to the late star's family to collaborate on a collection. The process of picking the colors and textures - I wanted this to be about Selena and not about me," said Arriaga.
"You don't realize from the outside how much goes into it. A worker unrolls a large photo of the late singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez for the Sept. And, as the star often wore different makeup during the day than she did during a performance, the line offers different looks. There were already 18 people ahead of her waiting to buy a limited-edition makeup collection inspired by the Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanilla Pérez. We saved everything and matched colors to her exact makeup," said Arriaga in a MAC interview. Providing more details on the history of the collection, Suzette said in a press release, I wanted the colors to be about her personally, what she wore on and offstage. "This is based on her personal makeup that she had and wore. Selena’s widower, Chris Perez, shared via Facebook, It is an exact color match of one of Selena’s taken from her personal makeup case that she used to take on the road. All of the pieces are named after Selena song titles: There's the Como La Flor bright-red lipstick and the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom pink "lipglass," available online only for $17. The collection includes five eye shadows ranging from bright purple to light pink ($17 each), three lipsticks ($18), mascara ($18), liquid eyeliner ($21), a two-tone blush/bronzer ($29), and a powder/blush brush ($35). The collection, available October 1, was curated by Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga, and celebrates the iconic style of the Latin legend. After a year of development, MAC Cosmetics' new line of makeup inspired by Tejano star Selena is debuting.
