“Aaliyah is truly one in a million,” they wrote. “An unstoppable icon whose groundbreaking work in R&B music and film inspires us all. Today we join her countless fans in celebrating her with the announcement of the M.A.C Aaliyah collection. You made it happen! Stay tuned in 2018.” 

Fans of the singer had long rallied for a line inspired by the artist, who was a loyal user of MAC during her time on earth.

Last year, petitions popped up across the Internet after the late Mexican-American singer Selena Quintinilla-Perez received her own collection of lip products. 

While we have yet to get a detailed list of products and colors, we’re sure the line will give rich hues and pigments that it will be melanin-friendly. We can’t wait for summer 2018!
