The retailer will open one of its “temples of beauty” in Silverburn shopping centre later this year, bringing a host of brands such as Rhode and Haus Labs to the city for the first time.
A second store will also be opening at Edinburgh’s St James Quarter.
The LVMH-owned powerhouse is bringing its beloved stores to the cities following demand online from beauty lovers.

Sarah Boyd, managing director for Sephora UK, said: “The Sephora UK team and I are thrilled to finally reveal that we’re bringing our ‘temples of beauty’ to not one, but two incredible Scottish cities this summer – with fans crying out for a Scottish beauty playground.
“It has been three years since we opened our first UK store; from the very beginning, we’ve been searching for the perfect locations for us to open in the region and we are so happy to have found the in Edinburgh St James Quarter and Silverburn Glasgow.
“Opening in both Edinburgh and Glasgow this summer is about bringing double the energy, double the access, and double the magic to a country that has long been calling for it.
“Scotland also steps into a landmark summer, so the timing couldn’t be more meaningful, and Sephora UK is proud to play a part in a special season that is set to make its mark in the history books.
“We know how eagerly our Scottish customers have waited while we expanded across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and we truly want to say thank you for your patience and loyalty.
