The activation ties into Charlotte Tilbury’s 2025 holiday campaign starring Céline Dion, with supporting visuals displayed across digital media sites throughout the airport and on Qatar Airways’ in-flight entertainment screens. 

According to Qatar Duty Free, the collaboration reinforces its focus on experience-driven retail executions that aim to enhance the passenger journey and strengthen brand engagement within the terminal. 

Qatar Airways Group Chief Retail & Hospitality Officer Thabet Musleh said, “Partnering with Charlotte Tilbury to bring her expert beauty world to Hamad International Airport in a fun and engaging format reflects our drive to keep raising the bar in experiential retail. 

Campaign visuals integrated across the terminal take the brand narrative beyond the pop-up

“In the run up to the holiday season, we want to infuse some extra joy and excitement into our customer’s journeys – wherever they may be travelling to – and this pop-up, with its Glam Cam and exclusive gifting, does just that.” 

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Founder Charlotte Tilbury MBE commented, “I am so excited to light up Qatar Duty Free with my new holiday pop-up experience.

“It’s the perfect place to discover all the trinkets, treats and treasures for everyone you love, just in time for the holidays. Step inside and you will discover the perfect beauty gifts for everyone on your list, including yourself.”
