It may have been 20 years since her death, but Selena Quintanilla's influence has not faded.
MAC Cosmetics has announced a multi-product collection, “M·A·C Selena,” inspired by the Latina icon, set to be released toward the end of 2016.

In February, after a makeup artist posted a mock-up of a Selena-inspired lipstick, fans created a petition for a MAC-Selena collaboration in honor of the upcoming anniversary of her death and the makeup brand listened.
“Selena’s talent and beauty, inside and out have, have left a colorful, meaningful impact in the world that has continued to grow over the last two decades," James Gager, MAC’s Senior Vice President/Group Creative Director, stated in a release. "We have heard the passion and enthusiasm from her fans and wholeheartedly agree that her legacy embodies MAC’s philosophy. We are so excited to announce a Selena inspired MAC collection debuting in the latter part of 2016.”

In order to create a collection true to Selena and what she would have wanted, MAC enlisted help from her sister, Suzette.
“I am so excited that MAC 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 said in the press release.
Known by just her first name, Selena, the Tejano music star was shot and killed at the age of 23 in Corpus Christi, Texas. The president of her fan club and manager of her boutiques, Yolanda Saldívar, was convicted of her murder and remains in prison.
