Sephora Near Me: UK & Ireland Store Locations Guide

Few beauty retailers inspire the same loyalty as Sephora, but finding one near you in the UK and Ireland can feel surprisingly complicated. With a patchwork of physical stores across Britain and a notable absence across the Irish Sea, the search for that perfect foundation or skincare aisle often requires a bit of planning.

The table below pulls together the core data points every shopper needs before planning a visit or ordering online.

Is there any Sephora in the UK?

Yes — Sephora returned to the UK in 2022 after a years‑long hiatus, and it now operates 14 store locations across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland according to its official Sephora UK Store Finder. The figure includes both open stores and upcoming openings like Belfast and Bristol.

Sephora stores in London

• Westfield Stratford City — one of two London Westfield locations (Sephora UK Store Finder)
• Westfield White City — the second Westfield store in the capital (Sephora UK Store Finder)

A third London store may be in the works: Professional Beauty reports that Sephora UK is looking for a flagship site in Zone 1.

Sephora stores in other UK cities

Beyond London, Sephora UK has stores in Birmingham (Bullring), Manchester (Trafford Centre), Liverpool (Liverpool One), Bluewater (Kent), and Glasgow (Buchanan Street). The Belfast store at Victoria Square opens 12 February 2026 (Cosmetics Business), and a Bristol store at Cabot Circus arrives 30 April 2026 (Professional Beauty).

The implication: Sephora’s UK strategy prioritises high-traffic retail hubs, leaving suburban and rural shoppers reliant on delivery.

Is Sephora in Ireland? Does Sephora deliver to Ireland?

Physical stores in Ireland

There are no Sephora stores in the Republic of Ireland (Sephora UK Store Finder). However, Northern Ireland gets its first store in February 2026 at Belfast’s Victoria Square (Cosmetics Business). For shoppers in Dublin, the closest open Sephora is across the Irish Sea — either in Glasgow or the Westfield stores in London.

Delivery options for Ireland

According to Wise analysis, Sephora UK does ship to Ireland — but the official Sephora UK site does not currently list Ireland as a delivery country on its checkout page. The most reliable route for Irish shoppers is Sephora France, which ships to Ireland with a flat fee of €9.95 and delivery within 3–5 working days (Wise analysis). Sephora US no longer ships internationally from its US site (Sephora International Websites).

The pattern: Irish shoppers must factor an additional shipping cost and delivery time into every order, making trip planning to the UK a comparative exercise.

Is Sephora owned by Target or Louis Vuitton?

Sephora ownership history

Sephora is wholly owned by LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), the French luxury conglomerate that also owns Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, and dozens of other brands (LVMH official portfolio). It is not owned by Target. The confusion arises because Sephora operates inside some Target stores in the United States via a partnership, but Target does not own Sephora.

LVMH and Sephora relationship

Louis Vuitton is a brand within LVMH, not a separate owner of Sephora. Neither Louis Vuitton personally nor the Louis Vuitton fashion house has any direct ownership stake. Sephora sits within LVMH’s selective retailing division alongside other beauty and luxury retail names.

The catch for shoppers: assuming Sephora is part of Target could lead to wasted loyalty points or confusion about return policies.

What countries have a Sephora?

Europe

Sephora operates in France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, and several other European nations (Sephora Wikipedia entry). Notable absences include Austria, Ireland (no stores), and most Eastern European countries. The brand has a strong presence in Western Europe.

North America

The United States and Canada are Sephora’s two largest markets by store count. Sephora US operates over 460 stores (Sephora US Complete Store List), and Sephora Canada has more than 100 locations. The Target partnership adds another 500+ shop‑in‑shop outlets across the US.

Asia and other regions

Sephora has a growing presence in China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Brazil. In the Middle East, it operates in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The company reports being present in over 35 countries worldwide (Sephora Wikipedia entry).

The implication: shoppers outside Sephora’s core markets must navigate a patchwork of regional websites and shipping policies to access the same products.

How to find Sephora near you

1. Use the official store locator — Visit Sephora UK Store Finder (for the UK) or Sephora US Store Locator for other countries. Enter your postcode or city to view stores and hours.
2. Check opening hours before you go — Store hours vary, especially on Sundays and bank holidays. The Bullring store, for example, opens Wednesday 10am–8pm (Sephora UK Store Finder).
3. Download the Sephora app — The app includes a “Find a Store” feature with directions, real‑time inventory checks, and the option to book a beauty consultation.
4. Switch to a Sephora regional site for delivery — If you’re in a country without a physical store, use Sephora France (ships to Ireland, €9.95 flat fee) or Sephora UK (ships to some European destinations, check at checkout).

Summary

Sephora’s UK expansion is accelerating, but the brand still hasn’t established a meaningful presence in Ireland or several other European markets. For shoppers in Dublin, the wait continues — the nearest physical store will be in Belfast (opening February 2026) or a trip to the UK. For those in Austria, online delivery from Sephora France remains the only option. The implication for Irish beauty enthusiasts is clear: either travel to the UK or rely on cross‑border shipping from France, with the €9.95 fee factored into every order.

While Sephora has yet to open its own doors in Ireland, shoppers can find a wide range of cosmetics and skincare products at beauty supply stores in Ireland across the country.
