This new store will feature an extensive selection of products across makeup, skincare, haircare, fragrance, and wellness, including exclusive brands like Glossier, Makeup by Mario, and GXVE by Gwen Stefani. In addition to its wide product range, the store will offer in-store beauty services from well-known names such as Elemis, Dermalogica, and Dyson​.

The announcement has generated considerable excitement, with Bluewater's Centre Director, James Waugh, noting that Sephora is one of the most requested brands by shoppers. The new store is expected to enhance Bluewater's already impressive lineup of beauty retailers, including Boots, Jo Malone London, and Lush​.

Sarah Boyd, Managing Director of 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 to 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."
