The concept store also offers Anastasia Beauty, Benefit, Dior Backstage, Farmacy, IT Cosmetics, Malin+Goetz, Moroccanoil, Nars, MAC and other popular lines.

From now through 11 June, customers can experience an array of in-store activations, brand demonstrations and promotional offers. During the peak hours of 4pm-8pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, a makeup artist will be on hand to provide inspiration and makeovers while a resident DJ will keep shoppers entertained.

The DFS beauty concept store, open to all T4 passengers, is located in the Main Hall between the A and B Concourses. ✈
