Selena Quintenilla-Perez was not only a talented singer and Latina legend but a beauty icon taken too soon. Selena was known for her iconic fashionable looks, hair and makeup.
Today, her legacy continues with her favorite makeup brand MAC Cosmetics’ “La Reina” collection inspired by the late singer. If you haven’t heard or watched the new Selena The Series on Netflix I suggest you binge it and get into your feelings
The series include looks of Selena that were not as recognized by fans during her developing stage as a band with her family. It allows fans old and new to relive Selena's iconic beauty looks and discover styles Selena played with in her younger years.
Selena was influenced by the artists she loved at the time like Whitney Houston and Madonna. You can definitely see it in the costuming and styling with the hair and the makeup through the show but I do wish the quality of wigs were better done.
Being the impulsive and fashion-inspired queen that she was, Selena would change her look almost every day to try something new whether it was her hairstyle, color or outfit. The series incorporated the products that Selena loved to use, like her signature Russian Red MAC lipstick, a bold brow and winged eyeliner.
This series shows how Selena was her own creative director, stylist, makeup artist, and hairstylist. She busted through wild looks that included everything from big curly hair, top knots, big voluminous bobs and sleek buns all while wearing her signature outfits she designed herself.
Selena was incredibly innovative and fearless when it came to hair and makeup. Truly committed to beauty in every aspect. Seeing Selena create her and the band's outfits throughout the series showed how involved and creative she was.
Overall, Netflix did a great job in showing how involved Selena was in her fashion and how the band truly lived for performing together. It has allowed fans to get to know Selena y Los Dinos' history and who they were individually.
Selena has an infinite impact as a trendsetter and her iconic beauty looks have and will forever continue to inspire people and be replicated all over the world. An icon, not only for beauty and fashion but for her music and its impact on the Latinx community.
