Ybf Chic On Twitter: Aaliyah For Mac
Rappers Delight: Eve Squashes Her Beef With Lil Kim In a recent interview rapper Eve admitted she never got alone with Lil Kim or Foxy Brown. After years of not speaking she recently had a chance to clear the air with Lil Kim when they both attended a benefit dinner for Mac Cosmetics. New teeth, new Diplomats album, and new season of 'Love & Hip Hop: New York' on deck. All the newness must have triggered rapper Juelz Santana to finally pop the question to girlfriend of 10 years, Kimbella.Or maybe it's the 20 year prison bid he's facing that triggered him. MAC Cosmetics launches the Aaliyah makeup collection with a limited-edition release on June 20. The late singer's brother, Rashad Haughton, spoke to Refinery 29 about his sister's beauty legacy. He explained, 'My sister's signature style could be described as the effortless balance between tomboy chic and feminine elegance.
MAC’s latest collaboration is a nod to one of the nineties’ biggest musical acts. The makeup brand announced on Friday, June 8, that their new collection is in honor of late R&B superstar Aaliyah.
“Inspired by Aaliyah’s own makeup bag, #AaliyahForMAC has been brought to life by her devoted fans,” the company wrote. “The whole collection drops starting June 20 online and June 21 in store in select markets.” The makeup range features 12 new products including Brooklyn Born lip gloss, lipstick, a lip liner, the Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number multi-color eye shadow palette and bronzer.

The Try Again singer died in 2001 at the age of 22, after a fatal airplane accident in the Bahamas. While it’s been almost twenty years since her death – Aaliyah’s mother kept some of her makeup in a plastic baggie – which came in handy when fans petitioned to have the collection created in honor to maintain her legacy.

She was confident, creative and not afraid to take risk. That self-assuredness is so important for young women right now. I wanted the line to adapt to fit people of any shade, any creed, culture or religion or orientation.” Aaliyah’s collection joins, Rihanna and Mariah Carey’s list of iconic MAC’s collaborations.
Aaliyah transcends time. Her influence is everlasting – revered by her peers, and built upon by today’s fans and fresh faces. I-D, MAC Cosmetics and The Haughton Family present A-Z of Aaliyah, a modern homage to her music, dance, beauty and style. Director Cara Stricker reimagines the A-Z’s alphabet format as Aaliyah would – not bound by the confines of conventional language, but through a deconstructed narrative of Aaliyah’s persona, artistry and legacy. This nonlinear structure is illustrated through multiple formats including archival footage, otherworldly studio scenes, and airy exteriors in Aaliyah’s home of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. From Missy Elliott and Timbaland to Princess Nokia, Empress Of, Keke Palmer and Alton Mason, the film’s 26 vignettes weave together a cast of fans, collaborators, and creative talent building on Aaliyah’s influence today.
Timbaland’s team scored the film with a modern interpretation of Aaliyah’s sound. Aaliyah collaborators Tre Major, Eric Ferrell and Derek Lee consulted on hair, makeup and styling, respectively. And finally, five of Aaliyah’s biggest fans were cast through Instagram, building on the inherently social movement that sparked MAC’s upcoming Aaliyah Collection.
