Those longing to help bring out their inner Glindas or Elphabas will get a little help next month thanks to a new Wicked-inspired cosmetics collection.

Jeanine Lobell has created two Wicked collections for stila that will be sold exclusively at Sephora cosmetics. Wicked's Idina Menzel (Elphaba) and Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda) will be on hand for the launch of the new cosmetics line May 21 at Sephora Times Square. The co-stars are expected to join the festivities from 2-4 PM.

The limited edition make-up line includes the Glinda Look — "all over crystals in pink, lip color in Glinda, lip gloss in pink shine, eye shadow in heather, smudgepots in black and convertible color in petunia" — and the Elphaba Look: "all over crystals in green, lip color in Elphaba, lip gloss in peach shine, eye shadow in moonlight, smudge pots in emerald and convertible color in gladiola."

The day-long event, 12-6 PM, will be held at Sephora Times Square, 1500 Broadway. For more information, visit www.sephora.com or call (212) 944-6789.

Directed by Joe Mantello — a 2003 Tony Award winner for Take Me Out — Wicked boasts a score by Stephen Schwartz, a book by Winnie Holzman and choreography by Wayne Cilento. The creative team includes Eugene Lee (set design), Susan Hilferty (costume design), Kenneth Posner (lighting design), Tony Meola (sound design), Stephen Oremus (musical director), William David Brohn (orchestrations) and Jim Abbott (dance arrangements).

Wicked plays the Gershwin Theatre, located in Manhattan at 222 West 51st Street. Tickets are available by calling (212) 307-4100 or by visiting www.ticketmaster.com.
