A multi-sensorial concept space was created within the store for consumers to experience the products on 19 July. Shinsegae Duty Free’s mirror carousel and its surrounding features were branded for the event, while a 360-degree panoramic LED screen showcased the new range.
The ‘Make-up Is My Power’ event also featured a series of activations, including an appearance by Korean actress and Lancôme local ambassador for South Korea Suzy Baean.
Lancôme also gathered together national make-up artists from around the globe, from countries such as the USA, Mexico, the UK, Japan and Korea.
