Since LOOKFANTASTIC was founded back in 1996, you've been browsing our virtual shelves for the latest and greatest beauty on the market. From TikTok trending products, to cult-favourite brands, your next haul is only ever a click away.
But as a team of beauty fanatics, we believe the best thing about products is not just how they make you look, but how they make you feel. Nothing compares to finding your new 'forever shade' of lipstick in person, or immersing yourself in the aromas of your new signature scent. Which is why this weekend, we're bringing the LOOKFANTASTIC site to life with our first ever pop-up shop: The Summer Beauty Destination!

Meet our pharmacist
For those in need of some one-to-one beauty advice, our in-house pharmacist Aruj will be on-hand to provide personalised consultations. From skincare tips and tricks to bespoke routines and product recommendations, whatever your query, you can get tailored advice to suit your specific needs.
'As a pharmacist of almost eight years, I have always been fascinated by the beauty industry and the science behind the products. Having suffered with breakouts in my adolescent years, I learnt how to manage my skin by discovering the latest scientific skincare innovations – a passion that spilled over into my profession as a pharmacist.' - Aruj
