Services on offer include: Flawless in a Flash, a five minute lesson on getting a perfect finish; Brow Define & Perfect, a five minute class on polished eyebrows; Perfect Canvas, a ten minute lesson on getting a flawless base, Contour & Highlight, a 15 minute tutorial and Eyes & Lips #ShapeMatters, a 15 minute guide to getting a defined eye and lip look.
The store also offers consumers a chance to take professional-looking photographs with the ring-flash selfie booth. Visitors will be able to adjust lighting to create the perfect picture and share the results on social media.
Upcoming artists will be invited to showcase their work in store, with Donald Robertson taking the first slot with his giant mural.
