  • (Eye)Line(R)?: Makeup and the Consumption of Latina Bodies Amanda L
    Where Do We Draw the (Eye)Line(r)?: Makeup and the Consumption of Latina Bodies Amanda L. Matousek Wofford College Abstract This article examines the social media responses to the marketing of two MAC Cosmetics makeup campaigns inspired by deceased Latinas. The conception and creation of the MAC-Rodarte Juárez collection and the MAC Selena collection represent an awareness of increasing Latinx visibility and buying power in the U.S. However, each exoticizes Latinas and contributes to their social and political invisibility in particular ways. While super- ficially it seems obvious why consumers would reject the Juárez collection and not Selena’s, a more profound analysis within the contexts of body studies and Deborah Paredez’s notion of Selenidad, or the acts of remember- ing Selena, reveals a deeper distinction. That is, the contrast of these MAC makeup campaigns reveals the line between the agency of claiming Latinx memory and identity and a politics of the corpse that banalizes violence and furthers impunity, invisibility, ignorance, and indifference toward real suffering bodies. Introduction Scholars and artists, including Deborah Paredez, Isabel Molina Guzmán, Angharad N. Valdivia, and Coco Fusco, have examined U.S. culture’s hyper-commodification of Latinas, with particular focus on the posthumous fame of icons like Selena Quintanilla, Frida Kahlo, and Evita Perón. In her book, Latinos Inc., Arlene Dávila looks critically at how “Hispanic mar- keting” shapes U.S. Latinidad, or latinness (29). Whether Hispanic marketing is regarded as a Latinxs’1 “coming of age” or a condemnation of “their commodification,” Dávila contends that this “…selling and promoting [of] generalized ideas about ‘Hispanics’ to be readily marketed by corporate America” further alienates them as “…a foreign rather than intrinsic component of U.S.
