M.A.C. x Aaliyah
Although she may have died tragically in a plane crash at age 22 in 2001, the late singer Aaliyah Haughton (known
as Aaliyah) is still remembered for her beautiful voice and equally beautiful face. With this
summer marking the 17 year anniversary of her untimely death, M.A.C. is releasing a new makeup collection that honours the star. The M.A.C. x Aaliyah line arrives in stores on June 21, and stays true to Aaliyah’s signature lined eyes, flawless skin and glossy lips. The range includes an eyeshadow palette and a lipstick inspired by her look, so Aaliyah fans can recreate her smokey eyes and subtle pout at home in their own pretty homage.
