Face value

fed up of beauty counters offering the same thing? Take a trip to MAC's new site in the third-floor contemporary fashion area of Selfridges' London department store, where the ultra-hip make-up counter shares space with ground-breaking labels such as Acne and JW Anderson. MAC on Three is a space dedicated to those who like to be a little bit different, with make-up artists on hand to provide sleek new looks and glossy make-overs to complement whatever groovy new togs you've just bought. Open now, selfridges.com

Free at iTunes Store and Android Market
