Major beauty retailer returns to the British high street after closing in the UK 17 years ago

One of the world's best-loved beauty retailers has opened a store in the UK after it vanished almost twenty years ago. The first UK store reopened on Wednesday morning, and saw queues around the block.

Sephora launched a UK website in 2022, which has seen huge success with beauty fans. Unfortunately, the only Sephora store in the country is currently in London, though beauty buffs up north are hoping we will soon see one in Manchester (the Trafford Centre just seems so....obvious?) if it's successful.

The new Sephora store has crammed as many products as it can into its 6,000 plus sqft space as it will sell more than 135 different brands including its own. This includes brands such as Makeup by Mario, GXVE by Gwen Stefani, ONE/SIZE by Partick Star and Vegamour.
