Mac X Tiwa Savage Unveils Signature Lipstick
By Yemisi Suleiman
Following the recent unveiling of pop star Tiwa Savage as Africa’s first MAC Maker, the singer officially introduced her Signature Lipstick to Pro Make Up Artists, Beauty Enthusiasts, Bloggers, and Members of the Press last Friday at The Art Hotel in Lagos.
Mac Brand Lead, Sub Saharan Africa, Lebo Mulumba speaking on the choice of Tiwa Savage said aside from being a global icon, she has always had a relationship with MAC and is passionate about supporting local talent, which is why Tiwa insists on a Nigerian makeup artist no matter where she is in the world. She thanked Tiwa Savage for rising up as an African queen, representing the brand powerfully, and choosing a colour that represents all men and women, while putting Africa on the map.
Speaking during the unveiling of a product that took two years to come to fruition, TIWA noted that this is a special moment for us as Africans, adding that Africans use much of this product, but are not recognized so, this collaboration is long overdue. She further revealed that she chose this shade because “I wanted something that is strong, bold, beautiful and represents women of my complexion because it’s difficult for ladies my complexion to find a suitable red. You can gloss it up when you want to feel like a “MAC gyal” but even though it’s matte, it’s not your typical dry matte.” she said.
The lipstick is named after her- Tiwa Savage and retails in Nigeria.
