Overview
It's time to celebrate the return of the warmer months, summer fits, linen shirts and padded slides. Springtime is here, and it's not going anywhere. If you treat spring as a preparation session for summer, then you should make your way to a Stockland shopping centre and hear from the experts at Stockland's Shades of Summer.
This is a spread of events across Stockland shopping centres, specifically Green Hills, Wetherill Park, Shellharbour and Merrylands. Each of those centres will be playing host to three events geared to get you ready for summer via styling, skincare and DIY makeup.
First up, all centres will feature skincare workshops, led by professional stylist and makeup artist Amy Chan. Amy is set to enlighten you on how to achieve radiant and healthy skin by discussing common skin issues and how to equip yourself with the remedial products available at Stockland. The skincare workshops are taking place on Thursday, October 12 (Green Hills), Friday, October 20 (Wetherill Park), Thursday, October 26 (Shellharbour) and Friday, November 3 (Merrylands).
Next up are styling and colour workshops hosted by expert stylist Caitlin Stewart. Caitlin will use her skills to identify the colours that complement or clash with your unique skin tone, eye colours and more. She then field tests her theories with select fashion pieces available on hand. You'll walk away feeling inspired about wardrobe choices and with a free colour wheel to try your new styling skills in centre. The styling and colour workshops are taking place on Friday, October 13 (Green Hills), Saturday, October 21 (Wetherill Park), Saturday, October 28 (Shellharbour) and Saturday, November 4 (Merrylands).
Following that, each centre will host DIY lip gloss shade workshops to cap off your newly acquired colour knowledge. You will mix a custom colour with a plain gloss base, uniquely tuned to your skin tone and packaged to take home. The custom lip gloss sessions will be available on Saturday, October 14 and Sunday, October 15 (Green Hills), Sunday, October 22 (Wetherill Park), Friday, October 27 (Shellharbour) and Sunday, November 5 (Merrylands).
Bookings are required for every workshop, which you can make on the respective centre websites. Throughout the period, all visitors can snap a memory in high-tech photobooths and with stylised selfie mirrors to transfer the summer vibes to your socials.
Stockland's Shades of Summer will take place at Stockland Green Hills from Thursday, October 12 to Sunday, October 15; Wetherill Park from Friday, October 20 to Sunday, October 22; Shellharbour from October 26–October 28 and Merrylands from Friday, November 3 to Sunday, November 5.
