ICON
Opened in 1996, Sephora Champs-Elysées is one of the most iconic Sephora flagship stores. Recently renovated, visitors can now enjoy an entirely revamped high-end beauty shopping experience. The flagship offers a wide range of luxury brands, exclusive launches, beauty services and innovative features, designed to create a personalized and immersive visit that inspires beauty enthusiasts.
ICONIC PRODUCT
Launched in 2011, Cream Lip Stain quickly conquered the world and has since become the best-seller of the Sephora Collection brand. The reasons for its success? Its unbeatable performance: long-lasting, transfer-proof wear, ultra-matte finish, and intense pigmentation. Special mention goes to its velvety, comfortable texture and its extensive shade range featuring no less than 45 hues, from the most natural to the boldest.
INNOVATION
We have been disrupting the norms of the beauty industry since the beginning, allowing customers to freely explore and try beauty products for the first time. Since then, we continuously set new standards by driving omnichannel excellence across our network of outlets, flagships, e-commerce and digital platforms, underpinned by the world’s largest beauty loyalty program, to provide a seamless, personalized, and inspiring experience at every touchpoint, anytime, anywhere.
