The All Hours Airport pop-up also offers several retail-tainment features that pay homage to the ‘joys of international travel,’ said the brand.
Guests begin their experience at the ‘self-check-in’ counter where they are given a bespoke greeting, before receiving a three-minute makeup consultation courtesy of YSL Beauté. Their journey continues through the ‘security check’ where they can scan their YSL Beauté luggage tags to receive a gift.
The pop-up features a personalised beauty and fragrance zone with its ‘Make it Yours’ bar. Here, guests can choose their own designs for YSL Beauté’s Mon Paris fragrance and select their own caps for their Rouge Pur Couture lipstick tubes. As a final flourish, guests can also have their names engraved on their purchases. The All Hours Airport experience is completed with a bespoke gift wrapping service.
