In the beauty world, fans have major clout.

Just last fall, we saw some 20,000 fans attend the debut of the Selena for MAC cosmetic collection in Corpus Christi as an honor to the slain Tejano singer. The effort was started with an online petition.

More recently, some 30,000 fans have singed a petition for a collection honoring the late R&B singer Aaliyah. And M.A.C. responded.

The Aaliyah for M.A.C. collection is set to debut in summer 2018.8.

The petition was started in 2015 by super fan, Jennifer Risinger, who launched the petition online through Change.org and later reached out to Aaliyah's family to inquire about interest. In an Essence.com article: Risinger said the late singer's brother, Rashad Haughton, backed the effort stating that Aaliyah was a "big fan of M.A.C."

Aaliyah died in a plane crash in 2001 in the Bahamas after filming her famous, "Rock the Boat," video.
