MAC x Selena Collection for Late 2016

M∙A∙C Selena, the multi-product collection inspired by Latin icon, Selena Quintanilla, debuts in the latter part of 2016.

“Selena’s talent and beauty, inside and out have, have left a colourful, meaningful impact in the world, that has continued to grow over the last two decades. 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.” — James Gager, MAC Senior Vice President/Group Creative Director

“I am so excited that M·A·C Cosmetics will be releasing a collection in honor 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.” — Suzette Quintanilla (Selena’s sister)

I’m so excited for this! I live in San Antonio, Selena had a huge impact here and her sister Suzette is a doll and so sweet. This is going to be a great collection!

I’m in SA too! I will literally save my money to buy everything from the collection, take the day off and camp at Northstar Mall to get my hands on it! what would be awesome is if they did a launch party….

Well, it’s been a VERY long time since I bought anything from MAC. However, I will be first in line for this release. Only because of Selena. I grew up in South Texas and she was my idol growing up. I am so excited for this!!

OMG!! I’m so excited about this news… I can’t wait to see what Mac is going to put together for this collection. I know it is going to be beautiful.. Most likely it is going to have a red.. her signature lips.

This is a nice change of pace from the Rihanna collections. I would love to see more tribute collections in the future. I hope this collection is well curated to honor such an icon. I hope she gets special packaging and great bold colors with quality formula.

I never intentionally seek out MAC’s collections bc I don’t want to get caught up in all the LE hype, but THIS? This collection, I want it all! I hope they use her picture on some of the packaging. I really hope they do the tribute justice and release great formulas and colors.

As a Tejano myself, I am ecstatic for this collection! It has been a long time coming, with many of us in the Latino community letting it be known that we wanted a Selena collection by MAC very much. Now to MAC, do NOT screw this one up! No Lustre lipsticks. And make ENOUGH product available for millions of people, not just thousands!

I have never commented on here before, I’m new to MAC, and only own one of their lipsticks (Pink Noveau). But I think this collection is going to pull me towards MAC even further! Selena is an icon and has been a big part of my life.
I’m really curious to know what the lipsticks are gonna look like. 😀

Wow, this is quite the early announcement for Mac.This is going to be huge for Mac and I hope they keep up with the demand on this one. It seems like a collection tied to a person posthumously should be connected with some sort of charity. I don’t see that mentioned. I t would be nice if Mac hooked up at least a small portion of proceeds to a charity.

When I saw this on fb I literally was almost brought to tears. I am so excited for this collection. My mother is Mexican and I grew up listening to Selena and dancing cumbia. This makes me so happy and I know latinas everywhere are excited too!

Yes Ma’am!! As a proud Texan, I grew up with Selena’s music. Even though I don’t speak Spanish, her music remains in heavy rotation on my playlists. MAC better do this collection justice or I foresee a huge backlash/boycott…no pressure 🙂

If they do it right, this could be a very pretty collection. She wore such pretty lipstick shades: I remember a pretty orange-red (matte, I think), a bright red, and beautiful 90s browns.

While I am super excited for this collection, I hope they do something special and unique for the packaging. Some of the packaging had just been blah.

At first I thought “Selena Gomez…ugh”. Then I realized it was THE Selena. However, it’s strange that they are designing a collection with a deceased celebrity. Oh wait, they did Marilyn last year. The fact that they are releasing the collection far out means that they are taking the time to make sure this collection truly represents the essence of Selena and not just out for a quick $. There should be some great lip colors because Selena had fabulous lips! It’s such a shame she was taken from us so soon.

The only reason I know who Selena is was because my Spanish 101 teacher in high school quit 3 weeks before finals and we watched the Selena movie every day until summer break.

Toni Avatar

I’ve never been excited about the release of a MAC collection, but this one excites me! I love Selena! Can’t wait to see what’s in store…I imagine some lush red lipsticks in the collection!

Liliana Avatar

This is a collection I can whole heartedly be excited about! I will stay up to stalk the website for this. I will save $ to get the whole collection. I’m so excited!

Usually i get bummed when collections don’t get released in Australia, but i get the feeling this one won’t, and don’t really care, as i’ve never heard of her. Guess she didn’t make it here.
