Sephora confirms opening date at Liverpool ONE

The opening date of Sephora at Liverpool ONE has been revealed as 22 May 2025, marking another milestone in the retailer's northern expansion.

Similar to its existing stores, the space will boast an wide selection of products across makeup, skincare, haircare, fragrance and wellness, including various exclusive brands.

It will also feature beauty treatments, offering an array of bookable services across makeup, skincare, hair and brows.

Sarah Boyd, Managing Director at Sephora UK, said: "I’m thrilled to share that the first new store opening of 2025 will be at Liverpool ONE. We have had immense demand from our fans in Liverpool to open a store in their wonderful city, and we are excited to have found the perfect location.

"Liverpool is a city that takes great pride in its commitment to community, diversity and celebrating its rich and vibrant history. It has been a key location in our brand expansion plans, and we were prepared to wait for the right opportunity, which our amazing Liverpool ONE location provides!

"In fact, it one of the first cities we visited when we were planning our UK launch, as we know how vibrant and exciting the local beauty community is. We are looking forward to creating an incredible shopping experience in an exciting store format that reflects the spirit of the city."

The new store will join a number of beauty brands and retailers at Liverpool ONE, including Space NK, Charlotte Tilbury, Jo Malone London, MAC Cosmetics and Superdrug.

Donna Howitt, Place Strategy Director at Liverpool ONE, said: "We have had an overwhelming response to the upcoming arrival of Sephora at Liverpool ONE and we are thrilled to be able to finally announce its launch date.

"Sephora is a globally recognised brand with huge appeal among a wide variety of audiences and we’re incredibly proud to be hosting its first home in the city. This year is already shaping up to be one of our biggest yet for store openings, so we’re excited to welcome visitors to experience the fantastic concept that Sephora has lined up for them!"

It marks yet another location in Sephora UK’s growing physical retail portfolio, which includes existing stores in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Kent.

As one beauty store opens, another closes, with Harvey Nichols last week announcing the departure of its standalone Beauty Bazaar store in Liverpool as part of its strategy to reposition the department store for growth.

Having first opened in 2012, the concept store offers brands such as Estée Lauder, MAC Cosmetics and Jo Malone London, amongst others. It is expected to close by mid-April.
