A Dior spa salon has opened inside Neiman Marcus.

Dior Beauty has a beautiful new space within Neiman Marcus, and marked its opening and the new spring season with a cocktail event that took place March 19.

The new beauty counter and single-room facial salon are at the front of the store, to the left of the main mall entrance and en route to the shoe salon.

It is the only Dior counter to carry the brand’s full fragrance line, and shoppers purchasing three items from Dior’s skincare collections will be able to indulge in a custom facial, valued at $600, utilizing products from the L’Or de Vie, Prestige, Capture Totale collections, as applicable.

Also new, the “mix, not match” philosophy behind spring fashion is also evident in Dior’s “Kingdom of Colors” makeup collection. Diorshow artist Robert Munoz, in town for the event, showed guests how to create a pink and purple eye in combination with an orange lip, colors people usually consider to be clashing.

He suggested thinking about a spring garden or bouquet of flowers combining all these colors beautifully.
