Can I have my make up applied at the airport?

Can I get my make up done anywhere at Manchester airport - terminal 3 - this Friday, mid morning? Happy to pay. I'm thinking one of the make up counters in the duty free might offer this, is that a ridiculous idea?

Owing to travel arrangements I have no opportunity to go anywhere else but the airport.

Please tell me your suggestions! Xmas Smile

I wouldn’t have thought so. The area that sells cosmetics and perfumes isn’t like a boots or department store layout with individual counters/ seating areas. It’s often very busy and a lot of what they sell are palettes etc from memory.

Saying that I seem to remember a Benefit counter.

The website says there's a Bobbi
Brown shop at T1 so if you happen to fly from there, I'd give them a call and ask / book.
It's your best bet.
Or look up mobile make up artists and ask them to come to the airport? (A bit extravagant, I know, but cannot come up with anything more sensible atm).

There is a Clarins store there, which may be your best bet. There is a Bobbi Brown counter but not always someone there (ditto Mac), but the Clarins store does have at least one person in it all the time.

I'll be at T3. Iric the Clarins counter isn't there. I'm going to try to ring and ask if this is possible at any of the duty free counters there.

Some airports have a "spa" - might be worth a look? I found one online for Manchester but their website isn't very good, you would be better ringing them I think.

I had a make over at Bobbi Brown in Manchester Airport - large Mac counter as well

Thanks, everyone. MancMum01 was that at Terminal 3?

I've been trying to call various shops/outlets at T3 at various points during the day but there is no response...I imagine they are very busy today.

I have put on a bit of foundation, blush and a neutral ish eye colour in the Boots no. 7 testers at terminal 3 airside then my own lip gloss. If anyone was there you may have seen me literally slapping it on at the mirror by the sunglasses before dashing to the boarding gate. Also applied clouds of duty free perfume Blush Think I can survive without mascara (I don't get on with it at the best of times). Thanks, everyone!
