A retail collaboration presented the first ever city-wide cosmetic festival which took a look beyond beauty.

The city’s biggest retailers signed up for the two-day event which offered a packed programme of demos, tutorials and talks from influential speakers and big names from the industry. Dame Joan Collins, Katy Piper, Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, Reuben de Maid, Ruby Hammer MBE and Andrew Barton among those speaking about their own experiences and offering expert advice.

Special beauty passports provided an assortment of special and discounted promotions across the city centre, with opportunities to stop between the shops for a mini pamper at pop up beauty spaces in Briggate and Leeds Station.
