Tap into culturally relevant moments that resonate with our target audience. In this case, the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

We challenged special effects makeup artist Sarah New to recreate one of the famous looks  of the key characters using beauty tools available at Argos.

Sarah produced a beauty look that was compelling yet easy to recreate at home – her comments were flooded with people wanting to do the same!
