After months of rumours, we can finally confirm that Sephora is coming to New Zealand!
The global beauty retail will open in Auckland in 2019. While the opening date is yet to be confirmed, the doors to New Zealand’s very first Sephora will open on Queen Street. With over 3,000 stores globally, Sephora Asia currently operates in twelve countries including Australia, Singapore and Thailand, adding New Zealand, Hong Kong and Korea to that list this year ⎼ a testament to the appetite for international beauty in the region.
“Sephora Auckland will be a beauty destination like no other,” says Pedro Coutinho, Interim General Manager Sephora Australia & New Zealand. “We are so excited to introduce our renowned service offering, a suite of the most sought after beauty brands from around the world and a fun place for our clients to experience and explore their own beauty journey.”
While details on what offerings the New Zealand store will include are currently scarce, internationally the beauty destination is the home for an array of sought-after cult brands including Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, tarte, Huda Beauty and Dr. Jart+.
“We’ve listened to what our online clients want from Sephora, and this new Auckland location will help us deliver it,” says Coutinho.
