British Beauty Council Patrons Boots have reintroduced makeup testers, brow treatments and in-store consultations.
The Telegraph reports that “As part of an update to its safety measures in beauty halls, Boots is reintroducing testers among its premium beauty and fragrance brands, as well as in-store brow services. No7’s Match Made service is also set to resume and select brands will begin offering make-up consultations once more.”
“During lockdown, so many of our customers told us how much they missed the experience of browsing, testing and shopping beauty at Boots. We’ve worked meticulously over the past few months to re-introduce the right measures at the right time so everyone can get back to the fun and excitement of discovering new products and finding new brands, whilst feeling completely safe and reassured.” -Joanna Rogers, Trading Director and VP of Beauty at Boots
