It’s been a long, long time since Sephora was last on UK soil. In fact you might be too young to remember it, as believe it or not, it was over 20 years ago.
Whenever I’m on holiday, it’s one of the first shops I go to. It’s available in so many European countries, including France, Germany and Hungary – but sadly not the UK. Until now.

After Feelunique was acquired by Sephora in June 2021, it became clear it would make its long-awaited comeback to the UK and it’s happening even sooner than you probably realise.
Speaking about the launch, Chris de Lapuente, chairman and CEO at Sephora, said: “At Sephora, we innovate every day to build the most loved beauty community. We are delighted to bring Sephora to the UK, responding to Britain’s strong demand for our unique prestige beauty experience.
“UK customers will be encouraged to explore and discover the best versions of themselves as we support them in their beauty journey with a fantastic curation of time-tested classics and new indie brands.
“We will offer British consumers a pioneering selection of beauty that is best in class for innovation, diversity and inclusion.”

Where will the Sephora store be?
The Sephora store will be located in London, but the exact location is to be confirmed.

You’ll be able to get tickets to the event from 11th October, and these are free.
