You can soon get your hands on some Yaya Dub lipstick by MAC.

Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza, arguably the Philippines’ biggest social media celebrity, has collaborated on a lipstick shade with cosmetics company MAC, Mendoza shared on Instagram Saturday.

“So happy to let you guys know that I am creating my own lipstick with @maccosmetics! Feels surreal to be chosen as one of the influencers and to be the first Filipina to have a lipstick collab with MAC,” she said. “I am sure you guys are gonna love it!!! Can’t wait for it to be launched!”

She visited the MAC headquarters in Toronto, Canada, as part of the company’s project that collaborated with 12 social media influencers from around the world. Mendoza shared parts of the process on Instagram Story that showed her working mixing ingredients in a lab and working with a MAC Chemist.

Unfortunately, all the photos were in black and white so you’ll have to wait a bit more for the shade to be revealed.

Last year, Mendoza was the fifth most Tweeted celebrity in the world, just below Justin Bieber and above ex-One Direction members Harry Styles and Niall Horan.

And if you think about it, her career has kind of always been about her lips. Mendoza rose to popularity after her lip-syncing videos in the app Dubsmash went viral. She then became a national obsession after joining noontime show Eat Bulaga and starring in their Kalyeserye segment where she was also only allowed to “speak” by lip-syncing to songs.

Last month, it was rumored that Mendoza had been suspended from the show after revealing to her fans in an open letter that she and her love team partner Alden Richards were not together in real life. Mendoza stopped appearing on the show for about a month and was mostly silent on social media.

It turned out that Mendoza was on vacation with her family in the United States. She started appearing again on Eat Bulaga earlier this month.

According to GMA News, Mendoza’s lipstick will be part of MAC’s Spring 2018 line.
