The
undisputed Queen of Christmas is launching her first lipstick with MAC Cosmetics this December called
"All I Want". She recently spoke to POPSugar about being biracial and how it influenced the product. She says of MAC:
They have a long history of diverse collaborations, and I’m a different-looking person. When I say different, I mean I’m an ambiguous-looking person. Most people have a difficult time being like, "What is she?" This is going to be something that a lot of different people will be able to feel like they can wear, and it will look good on them because I kept that in mind when we were working on it.
On biracial beauty:
Quote:
PS: What’s your best beauty advice for biracial women when it comes to finding makeup?
MC: Stay closest to your natural color of your skin because we range in color, us biracial women. I would just say: be yourself and go with the colors that really work for you. It’s really hard to just lump all biracial people into one category... We’re a mixed group of people, and MAC has so many great color options for biracial people.

PS: We definitely agree and we celebrate diversity at POPSUGAR. How do you think that the face of beauty has changed in 2015?
MC: More exotic people are being embraced as beauty icons. And people have opened their minds from the very traditional, typical, middle-American beauty — which is still a great thing to be and we love that — it’s just that now people have grown to embrace more of the exotic looks. A lot more children growing up don’t have to feel excluded and left out. It’s a good thing to progress in a nice way.

Recall that Mariah has had a very difficult childhood due to being biracial, including being spat on when she was younger.
