Selena's widower Chris Perez said the line would not be possible without the support of fans across the globe. Those (colors) bring back memories of us in the back of the bus getting ready for a performance. Selena was known for the bolder lip whenever she would perform. 'MAC matched her colors to what you see right now,' Quintanilla Arriaga said. The hues selected for the collection were chosen based on shades Selena had in her own makeup case. 'To have them partner up with Selena to create a line that's actually based on her personal makeup speaks volumes to us.' 'The journey with MAC has been top-notch,' Quintanilla Arriaga said. More than a year ago, 40,000 fans signed an online petition that started more than a year ago, asking MAC Cosmetics to commemorate Selena Quintanilla Perez with a makeup line.
The makeup collection - including blush, lipsticks, eye shadows, eyeliner and mascara - started as a dream. 'It's the largest launch in MAC history, and it's happening here in Corpus Christi.' 'It's a day of celebration,' said Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga, Selena's sister and CEO of Q-Productions. When MAC Cosmetics ramped up for the launch of the highly anticipated MAC Selena line, the Tejano icon's family knew there was only one place that would do as host: her hometown.
