Worship at the Temple of Beauty at Canberra Centre this spring
Posted on
If you love all things makeup and beauty, you’re going to want to make the pilgrimage to Canberra Centre’s Temple of Beauty this spring.
General Manager of Canberra Centre Gary Stewart says the Temple of Beauty celebrates the power of makeup to cross generations and genders and speak to a wide range of people.
“Makeup can be so much more than products for outer beauty, it can help people unlock a new drive within themselves, find an inner beauty they didn’t know was there, explore their creativity, discover newfound self-confidence, and for some, has even launched international careers.
“Temple of Beauty celebrates inner beauty while inspiring guests to be creative and express themselves through makeup.”
