When I first dreamed up Petite ‘n Pretty, I knew it had to be more than pretty packaging and better quality than the current status quo for beginners. It had to be mess-free, hypoallergenic makeup safe for kids to use at home or a school. The glitter, the gloss, the eyeshadows, the packaging...all of it had to be pretty, fun and safe.

Seems simple, but learning how to hold a brush, layer eyeshadows or create designs not only improves coordination but also promotes artistry and the ability to conceptualize. Like most skills in life, creativity gets better with practice, and we think makeup safe for kids is a pretty fun way to learn.
We test everything so you can have confidence in what your tween or teen is wearing when you decide they are ready for makeup of their own.
