The collection, released twenty years after her death, was prompted by a petition to have the stylish Selena as the latest MAC girl via Change.org earlier this year.
“Selena Quintanilla is an iconic legend in our community and would she be alive, she’d be a perfect MAC girl!”, the petition said.
37,000 signatures and a #SELENAQUINTANILLAforMAC hashtag later, the popular makeup brand announced the news on their Instagram, already receiving 98.9K likes for their post:
“Like the legend herself, Selena Quintanilla’s fans are an inspiration to us all for their love and enthusiasm. It’s happening! We are excited to announce the M•A•C Selena Quintanilla collection, available in 2016. @SelenaQOfficial#MACSelena”
In a statement her sister Suzette Quintanilla, who was reportedly contacted by MAC Cosmetics said, “I am so excited that M·A·C Cosmetics will be releasing a collection in honour of my sister Selena”
“Helping to create this collection brings me back to all those late night conversations on our tour bus when she spoke of having her own makeup line one day. If Selena were here she would be beyond ecstatic to have this happening. History is being made.”
Previous collections have featured notable beauties as it girls such as RuPaul, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and even Marilyn Monroe.
