Touch screen tablets are integrated into the fixtures and can be browsed for advice, inspiration and online tutorials.

There will also be digital screens decorating the edges of the store showing behind the scenes footage of campaign shoots as well as blogger footage.

Dan Wharton, Marketing Manager at Trinity Leeds, said: “To be chosen as the first stand-alone store outside London is a real coup for the city.

“Models Own is a fantastic destination brand for those looking for cosmetics and we’re delighted we’ll be adding a huge splash of colour to our retail line-up when it opens later this month.”
