The beauty franchise has been expanding across the UK and will open a store in Bluewater on Wednesday, November 27.

This new store location will mark Sephora’s seventh store opening since the retailer’s launch into the UK in 2022.

Bluewater’s Sephora will host a selection of “expertly curated, ground-breaking local and global brands” in categories such as makeup, travel, fragrance, skincare, haircare, grooming and wellness.

Customers can find brands such as Makeup by Mario, GXVE and Haus Labs, all of which are exclusive to Sephora UK.

This new store will also feature Sephora’s famous in-store beauty services for a “truly immersive and transformative experience”.

From quick fire on the go treatments to a full hour complete ‘Glam Look’, Sephora’s talented team of Beauty Advisors will offer an array of bookable services across makeup, skincare, hair and brows.

The news of Sephora’s opening on November 27 follows another three brands choosing Bluewater as the location for their first Kent-based stores.

Luxury cosmetics brand, Aesop, opened on November 16 and outerwear brand Belstaff opened at the end of October.

Meanwhile, Swedish fashion brand, Lindex, is set to open its doors on November 28.

James Waugh, Centre Director at Bluewater, commented: “Since we announced that Sephora would be joining our brand line-up back in August, our guests have been eager to know the exact opening date.

“We are delighted to be able to share the official launch date with our community, and pleased that our guests will be able to visit the new store on their Black Friday and Christmas shopping trips.

“There is a real buzz around this opening, especially as the brand will bring multiple of the world’s most viral beauty brands to Bluewater for the first time.”

Sarah Boyd, Managing Director at Sephora UK, said: “We are thrilled to continue this momentum of our rapid growth by opening Sephora stores in key shopping destinations such as the iconic Bluewater Shopping Centre.

“We have loved seeing the enthusiasm and appetite from our customers around the UK of where they would like us to show up, inspiring us to roll out more of our ‘beauty playgrounds’ and unparalleled shopping experiences to some of the nation’s most beloved retail destinations such as Bluewater.”
