According to representatives of L’Oréal Luxe’s official distributor in Pakistan, both brands are officially available in the country through authorized retail channels. The company clarified that the stores at Dolmen Mall Lahore are genuine outlets operating under the luxury division of L’Oréal, although their listings on the brands’ global store locator pages may take additional time to appear.
The distributor explained that the Lahore stores have actually been operational since last year, while the recent events were organized after completing planning, approvals and coordination with regional and global teams. Representatives from Paris and Dubai also attended the launch activities, highlighting the significance of the Pakistani market.
The celebrity lineup included Hania Aamir for YSL Beauty and Sajal Aly alongside Hamza Sohail for Armani Beauty. Organizers said the selection reflected each brand’s international identity, with YSL Beauty emphasizing boldness and confidence, while Armani Beauty focuses on elegance and sophistication. The appearances generated strong engagement across digital platforms and helped introduce the brands to a wider audience.
Company officials added that official event photos and videos are expected to be shared through L’Oréal Luxe’s digital platforms after the content selection process is completed. They also expressed confidence that the stores will eventually be included in the official global store locator directories.
