MAC unveils limited edition collection inspired by Whitney Houston

MAC Cosmetics has launched a limited edition Whitney Houston make-up collection.

The 11-piece range has landed to tie in with a new biopic about the late singer’s life – I Wanna Dance with Somebody – which comes out on 23 December.

Created in collaboration with the Estate of Whitney E Houston, the collection features products inspired by the star’s signature style, reported Cosmetics Business. MAC referenced personal photographs, stage performances and interviews to help make sure the singer was personified in the products.

A number of the shades also feature Whitney’s childhood nickname, Nippy.

Products include a smoky eye palette, a metallic liquid-powder highlighter, powder blush, lip gloss and a gold square make up bag, while a statement lipstick is also available in four shades – Nippy’s Sensual Red, Nippy’s Moody Nude, Nippy’s Fiesty Red and Nippy’s Rose.

The MAC collaboration follows on from the launch of a new fragrance inspired by Whitney from Scent Beauty.
