Rosal\u00eda has always been a beauty girl, opting to do her own stage makeup from the age of 16 because she couldn’t afford a makeup artist. The now-28 year old Spanish musician has since carved out a distinct beauty aesthetic \u2014 red lips, full waves, and nails that double as an extension of her wardrobe.<\/p>\n

It was this signature that led her to collaborate with MAC Cosmetics back in 2020 to create a limited red lipstick as part of the Viva Glam collection, but now the singer has released a complete 16-piece collection \u2014 called Aute Couture \u2014 including products like ‘the perfect red lipstick’ (Rusi Woo) shimmering highlighter palettes and a selection of nail lacquers and decals (MAC’s first nail release in years).<\/p>\n

Here, GRAZIA spoke exclusively to Rosal\u00eda on the process behind the collaboration, her approach to beauty, and how nail art inspires her performance.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Congratulations on the collaboration with M\u00b7A\u00b7C. What does the partnership mean to you?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

ROSALI\u0301A:<\/strong> Thank you so much! I was really excited because this is the first time I’ve had my own makeup collection. It means even more that it’s in collaboration with M.A.C \u2014 a brand I’ve always loved. The collection is called Aute Cuture, after the name of a song I wrote two years ago that draws inspiration from the glamour of the fashion world. Also, he name of that song is written incorrectly on purpose because at the end of the day, I love this world, but it’s important that I do it on my own terms.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: WHAT IS IT ABOUT M.A.C THAT RESONATES WITH YOU?<\/span><\/p>\n

ROSALI\u0301A: <\/strong>M\u00b7A\u00b7C is such a well known brand! I\u2019ll never forget their iconic campaigns with Lil Kim or Rossy de Palma that I’ve seen over the years. I\u2019ve always felt an affinity towards the brand for its inclusiveness, diversity and the way they advocate for minorities. I’ve actually followed their work with the Viva Glam campaign since I was a teenager.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Talk me through the nail shades and decorations \u2014 what was the creative process like?<\/span><\/p>\n

ROSALI\u0301A: <\/strong>It was such a fun process. I loved choosing the textures, working on the nail polish design (the shape is actually inspired by a lollypop) and putting together the color palette. As for the shades, I wanted them to feel Earthy and comforting \u2014\u00a0 my grandpa used to work a lot in the fields and I would spend a lot of time there as a kid. I love nature, and it’s definitely shaped my attraction to certain colors.<\/p>\n

And of course there’s red! In flamenco tradition, red is such a powerful and important color, it’s always been a huge inspiration for me. And finally gold, because it’s beautiful and I’ve always been obsessed with gold jewellery, especially my mother’s.<\/p>\n
