Dear Steven,

My teen daughter's birthday is coming up and all she wants is makeup. Do you know a good girlie line with light teenage colors that would be appropriate for a soon-to-be 15-year-old?

Many thanks in advance!
Trisha




Dear Trisha,

A line that would be perfect for your darling daughter is Pinkie Swear, designed specifically for young women. The face, eye, cheek and lips colors are sheer, sweet and light — very suitable for a teenager. The line attracts women of all ages who want to look fresh and natural. Stars such as Madonna and Mya (above) have been spotted buying Pinkie Swear recently. In fact when Madonna was in New York City recently she visited the Sephora in SoHo, snapping up the Rollergirl body glitter in Riot and three Cutie Pie Color Wheels. A present for little Lourdes?
