SHOPPERS visiting the Trafford Centre between Monday, Jan 26 and Sunday, Feb 1, will be able to obtain free makeovers.

The state-of-the-art Beauty Lab pod on the centre's malls is expected to be a hive of beautifying activity, which include demonstrations of new techniques in face yoga.

The event is timed to coincide with the big Spring refresh after the winter cold, with experts showcasing new trends in cosmetics, pampering and personal style from leading brands.

The “style surgeon” will be taking participants through a 360 degree pod experience, which will photograph bodies from all angles, and provide style-seekers with a wrap-around view of their true shape. That information will then be analysed by the style technician to result in a personal prescription for the colours and trends to suit each shopper.

The Beauty Lab is located on Upper Regent Crescent, near to Topshop.
