Over the course of six weeks, there's a unique new futuristic beauty space to explore within Selfridges. The Dazed Beauty space can be found within the retailer's beauty hall and boasts a design by Thomas Petherick that envisions the beauty counter of the future. On-site, a variety of makeup tutorials, treatments, free makeover sessions and workshops will be hosted, including a masterclass on Nails as Sculpture from the nail artist who created [Mugler’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodyscape-installation) AW20 looks. Consumers are also welcome to browse the curated products on display through Dazed Beauty Edit, which features brands like [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-dior-beauty-boutique), [NARS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-players-lounge-popup) and Uoma.

The experiential pop-up also features augmented reality and artificial intelligence filters that offer insight into how self-expression may change over the next century.
