RuPaul is collaborating with cosmetics brand Mally Beauty to create his own makeup line.
The collection will feature ten to twelve products curated by Ru himself. It’s set to launch early next year.
“Ru has always stayed true to who he is and unapologetically puts himself out there. He exemplifies self-acceptance and has inspired and taught millions of people to love themselves,” founder Mally Roncal said in a statement released to Pop Sugar. “I feel blessed to have the honour of working with RuPaul and have him connected to my brand.”
“I love Mally. Her approach to make-up is exemplified by her personality; smart, sexy, fun, and beautiful. I really dig this woman,” RuPaul added in a statement.
This will be the second makeup collaboration for RuPaul. In 1994, he became the first drag queen to work with a major cosmetics brand with his beauty campaign for MAC.
