This Is When Aaliyah for M.A.C Is Launching

From ELLE

Of all the M.A.C collections to come in 2018, none are as highly-anticipated as the one inspired by music icon Aaliyah. Since it was first announced in August 2017, we've been eagerly waiting any and all details. Now, we finally have a launch date.

Aaliyah for M.A.C is officially dropping on June 20 online and June 21 in stores, according to a tweet response from the brand to a fan:

M.A.C also recently announced a casting call to create an "A-Z of Aaliyah" short film tied to the launch. To participate, fans just have to post a video or photo showing how Aaliyah inspired them using the hashtags #AtoZofAaliyah and #AaliyahforMAC.

The Aaliyah for M.A.C collection, like the M.A.C x Selena collection, started out as a fan-driven change.org petition that was eventually endorsed by her brother, Rashad Haughton, her friend Missy Elliot, and her makeup artist Eric Ferrell. 26,200 supporters signed the petition.

So far, there are no details just yet on what the actual makeup will look like. However, her favorite M.A.C products were reportedly the lipsticks in Chelsea (brick red) and Cherish (pink-beige), lipliner in Chestnut (chocolate brown), and eyeshadow in Espresso (dark brown) so perhaps we can expect shades along those lines. Stay tuned for more info!
