SHE represented Australia growing up as a nation at the Olympic opening ceremony, but performer Nikki Webster is now growing up herself.

The 13-year-old is starting to use make-up, and was named yesterday as the face of Jager Cosmetics’ young women’s range.

“It’s a range for young women, and it’s so good to have someone young promoting it. It’s a great opportunity,” she said.

Nikki said she and her friends used make-up at weekends, but were not allowed to wear it to school. “I love make-up, and pink is my favorite color.”

The Jager range with the slogan “It’s a girl thing” boasts face powder, eyeshadow, lip-sticks and perfume as well as skin care products aimed at teenage girls.

Yesterday Nikki met Stefan, who owns a hairdressing salon chain and who raced at Sans Souci, Sydney, where the launch was held.
