Resurrecting music's most iconic stars for a makeup collab seems to be a trend. Urban Decay paid tribute to Prince, and now M.A.C. Cosmetics has revealed that a Whitney Houston line is in the works.
People magazine reports, "The beauty brand has inked a long-term, multi-faceted partnership with the Whitney Houston Estate."
M.A.C. plans to celebrate Houston's life through the new collection, which will launch in 2022 to coincide with Whitney Houston's upcoming biopic, I Wanna Dance with Somebody. M.A.C. will recreate some of Whitney's most memorable beauty looks for the film. Naomi Ackie will play Whitney Houston in the Sony/TriStar film, and Stanley Tucci will play Clive Davis. It is expected in December 2022.
Pat Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law and former manager, told People exclusively that she's excited to be able to work with M.A.C. on this, because Whitney would have loved it.
Houston died on February 11, 2012. Fans can still hear her sing, however, on stage in Las Vegas at the Whitney Hologram show.
