Hi everyone--
We see all your handwork & dedication to making this honor of a Mac Cosmetics limited edition closer to reality today. We see every retweet, repost, tweet, like etc on our IG & twitter (@aaliyahformac). We thank you for your continued support as Rashad still wants us to keep campaigning over the next few months when he meets to try and make a deal with Mac Cosmetics! Remember the petition signatures and contacting MAC consistently is our biggest voice.
Big shout out to British Fashion designer and illustrator Hayden Williams (who made an iconic Aaliyah for Mac image attached below. Go follow him on IG and twitter @hayden_williams), Beauty IG Trendmood1 for their continued support, Allure Magazine, and Huffington Post Black Voices for writing or mention our campaign.
While today was an amazing day taking continued leaps and bounds towards our endgame goal of getting Mac Cosmetics to say yes, it also was bitter sweet. Today we received an angel , our dear beloved Aaliyah Dana Haughton who passed away in a plane crash in the Bahamas on August 25th 2001. We don't even like to be writing that. We know many of you would agree with this sentiment.
At any rate we got to celebrate her legacy by continuing with the campaign that will honor her legacy once more. Here are the reasons why we think this campaign is important to Aaliyah's legacy and why many continue to support it:
"It saddens me that Aaliyah doesn't get the attention I believe she deserves.I make sure to my best abilities to keep her in the eye of public,she was a gift and deserves to never be forgotten. If I can make a new Aaliyah fan that makes it even better. I randomly thought of the idea Aaliyah for Mac so I sook out the help of my friend. I reached for the stars I was sure we could make this happen. Aaliyah deserves it. My favorite song is hard to say but a list would be Ericka Kane,More Than A Woman,We Need A Resolution and I Care 4 U. I've been a fan since I was little,she means the world to me. Her life was stolen from her so suddenly,so it kinda hit home for me I decided that I was gonna make part of my purpose keeping her legacy strong." - Trae Anna Burke
"I have been a fan of Aaliyah's since 1996. I bought her iconic album "One in a million" at age fourteen and have been a fan ever since. She passed when I was nineteen. I remember that day and it still smarts like it was yesterday. I decided to take action with Trae, when Aaliyah's brother Rashad Haughton tweeted that he thought it was a "dope idea," that Aaliyah "Loved MAC." I thought it would be an amazing way to reintroduce her legacy into a new format (Makeup, of which it has never been done before), and to new generations. There are still so many girls that want her makeup looks. I am also a big makeup lover. I have watched youtube makeup tutorials for sometime. I have seen many Aaliyah makeup ones. I knew that Aaliyah and Mac Cosmetics worlds had to collide. It has been long over due for this iconic, legendary singer and full on entertainer, Aaliyah. This is why I will continue to fight for this to happen till the end. It is long overdue." - Jennifer Risinger
Diehard Aaliyah fans and supporters of Aaliyah For MAC asked and pulled from our Facebook and Twitter:
"Aaliyah deserves this MAC Collection because she's an MAJOR Icon in the fashion and music industry, and her legacy has left an indelible mark on millions around the world. This would definitely sell out." - Tony
"I support this petition because Aaliyah is very underrated and deserves this for her legacy. I think this should be added to her legacy, because she is the epitome of beauty, and everyone wants the Aaliyah look. It is a great way to bring some awareness to her life and music." - Kiana
"I support Aaliyah for MAC Cosmetics because not only is Aaliyah my biggest inspiration behind my dances and style, she is also my hero. I was bullied in school, and used Aaliyah's music as my escape from it. She deserves this so much, because it will introduce her legacy to an entire new generation and will keep her legacy running long and far." - Deukalion.H
"Because she was the most beautiful outstanding artist, model, and performer of the 90's, and she followed up the 90's with even more stunning beauty and creativity than ever before. The sky was the limit for this beautiful woman, and of this beautiful angel, she continues to shine forever, from heaven above. There was once Marilyn Monroe, and then even more explosively beautiful and stunning, came the beautiful Queen Aaliyah, forever I will miss all your uniquely beautiful style, creativity, and unbelievably wonderful charm." - Ron Thompson
"Aaliyah was so beautiful talented and she was ahead of her time. She was a trendsetter not a follower like others in the music industry. She had a style all her own and was classy and a role model. She is dearly loved and missed and deserves to be honored as the ICON she is." - Niyoldani Corleone
"Aaliyah was beautiful and she was a huge fan of Mac ! She was talented and one of a kind. With this make up line, it'll truly help her to continue to live on and keep her memory alive(unlike that movie lol). She was always classy, amazing and truly One In A Million. Aaliyah should have her own make up line because she was a role model and an ICON one that always shine." - Regina Allen
"Aaliyah was an outstanding person with a dope and smooth style. No one can compare to Baby Girl. Definitely a model for every young girl all over the world! You're One In a Million LiLi" - KPeanut Torrance
"Aaliyah was a great dancer singer & funny she really cared about her fans & family friends also she was a special young woman. I'm really glad I'm keeping her memory alive your a 90s music icon." - Meg N Ron Bara
"Aaliyah should have the MAC honor because though she was a natural beauty, she made sure she instilled a true beauty attitude for herself as well for her fans.
I support for Aaliyah to get the Mac line because: Aaliyah represented women of color; as well as all girls, coming into their own. She embraced self love and encouraged those that in life as long as you're ok, with your look, then that's all that matters. Don't be afraid to try new things." - Erica Spears
Keep going! ,
AFM Team "The highest most exalted one the best." - Aaliyah
