Sephora Meadowhall debut sees massive turnout on opening day
Huge queues at a major shopping centre can only mean one thing, Sephora has come to town. This time it was Sheffield's Meadowhall getting the treatment with the launch of the French beauty retail giant's latest UK store. Over 1,000 customers queued, many from early Saturday morning, awaiting exclusive goodie bags for the first 500 customers. The new Sheffield store marks Sephora's first opening in Yorkshire and follows its Liverpool One debut in May. It also joins Manchester Trafford Centre, Newcastle Eldon Square, Gateshead Metrocentre, Birmingham Bullring, and Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent. With further openings on the horizon – including Manchester Arndale, Oxford Westgate, and Cardiff St David's – Sephora 'is building momentum across the UK and bringing prestige beauty closer to more communities and regions' it said. Sephora UK managing director Sarah Boyd added: '2025 is shaping up to be one of our most exciting (and busiest) years yet at Sephora UK and bringing our beauty playground to Sheffield is a huge part of that momentum.' Meadowhall centre director Darren Pearce also said: 'This opening marks a major milestone for the centre, further elevating our premium beauty offering and reinforcing our position as one of the UK's leading shopping destinations. Due to Sephora's unique retail experience and exclusive product ranges we're confident it will become a go-to destination for beauty lovers across the region.' Sheffield customers can shop exclusive 'Only At Sephora' brands such as Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, Makeup By Mario, Merit Beauty and Tower 28 alongside other TikTok-viral favourites on the 'Hot on Social' table including Glossier, Rare Beauty, Sol De Janeiro and Kosas. Opening day events included live brand animations and giveaways from the likes of Tatcha, Aveda, Gisou, Caudalie, Rare Beauty, Summer Fridays, Ole Henriksen, Topicals, Tower 28, Merit Beauty, Dr Sam's, Fenty and Maria Nila. The celebrations continued across the weekend with in-store masterclasses and pro sessions 'designed to educate, inspire and empower beauty lovers'.

Students chosen as Beauty Shadow Board members after UniDays/British Beauty Council/Sephora-inspired competition
The newly-formed British Beauty Council's (BRC) Student Beauty Shadow Board has five new student members, chosen in a UNiDAYS-inspired competition in conjunction with the Council and Sephora UK. The 'pioneering mentorship and grant initiative', created to 'support and spotlight the next generation of beauty industry leaders' has chosen Ojoachenyo Onuh (studying Pharmaceutical Sciences); Bethany Cookson (Marketing); Rachel Igwe (MSC Cosmetic Science); Penelope Helbest (Media & Communications); and Tyrese Walters (Digital Marketing in Fashion). The five will each receive mentorship, access to networking and industry events along with a £3,000 grant. After a 'competitive nationwide selection process' - 500 applicants were asked to pitch their future-facing beauty solutions across topics including innovation & technology, sustainability, creativity, marketing and science. The winners have now joined The Shadow Board which is designed for further education students "who are passionate about shaping the future of beauty'. Jessica Hewitt, global head of Beauty and Wellness at UniDays, said: 'This incredible programme is all about giving the next generation of beauty talent access to mentorship, industry insights, and - most importantly - a seat at the table. 'We recognise that today's beauty students are tomorrow's visionaries, and we're committed to empowering them to shape the future of an industry they already influence so profoundly'. Sabina Ellahi, head of PR & Communications at Sephora UK, also said: 'Inspiring doesn't even begin to describe the types of entries we received for the Student Shadow Board - the calibre of entries showed how much passion the students had not only just for breaking into the beauty industry but also being a part of the movement to drive meaningful change in the industry. 'What was most impressive was seeing how the students intersected the many facets and verticals of the beauty industry with their line of studies, highlighting so many skill sets, expertise and knowledge at the forefront.'
