Sephora and Marks & Spencer have announced a UK retail partnership, with Sephora at M&S planned for selected stores and M&S’s website from spring 2027. The partners aim to build around 100 physical locations over time, but have not yet named the stores or confirmed the product line-up.
Sephora and Marks & Spencer have announced Sephora at M&S, a new beauty destination planned for selected M&S stores and the retailer’s website from spring 2027. The partners say they aim to build around 100 physical sites over time, extending Sephora’s UK reach through M&S’s store network and online services.
The planned offer will bring together Sephora’s beauty expertise and brand relationships with M&S’s national retail presence and digital platform. According to the companies, the assortment is expected to include skin care, make-up, fragrance, hair care and body care, combining established beauty favourites, emerging brands and selected exclusive products. The full range has not yet been announced.
Customers will be able to shop the offer on the M&S website, with home delivery and click-and-collect from M&S stores nationwide, according to the source report. In participating stores, specialist beauty teams are expected to assist customers. The partners have not named the initial locations or said how many stores will carry the offer at launch.
Sephora described the deal as a strategic partnership intended to accelerate its UK growth and bring its beauty offer to more communities. M&S said the arrangement forms part of its work to transform its fashion, home and beauty business. Both companies present the partnership as a way to combine Sephora’s specialist offer with M&S’s existing retail infrastructure.
A Wider Route Into UK Beauty
The partnership gives Sephora another route to reach UK shoppers alongside its existing digital and app services, large-format stores and curated boutiques. The companies say the M&S relationship is intended to complement those formats. If the plan develops as described, Sephora’s products could become available through a wider network of established M&S locations and online shopping options.
For M&S, the announcement places a specialist beauty partner at the centre of its future beauty offer, while the company says it will continue investing in its own-label beauty categories. M&S Managing Director for Fashion, Home & Beauty John Lyttle said beauty could bring in new customers and encourage existing customers to shop more often. That is the retailer’s stated aim; the companies have not provided sales forecasts or other measures of the partnership’s expected commercial impact.
The planned mix of brands and categories may also give shoppers a new way to browse prestige and emerging beauty products through M&S. The practical effect will depend on which products are stocked, how many branches participate and the quality of the in-store and online experience. Those details are still to come.
Sephora’s UK Retail Expansion
Sephora’s European leadership described the M&S deal as the next step in a UK strategy that already includes digital and app services, large-format stores it calls “Temples of Beauty,” and curated boutiques. The company said those boutiques debuted in London this summer, but the supplied report does not specify the year. Sephora says the new arrangement adds a retail model designed to complement those existing formats.
M&S, a British multinational retailer, has its own established store network and online platform. It describes the Sephora partnership as part of a broader transformation of its fashion, home and beauty business. Lyttle said M&S would continue developing its own-label beauty offer alongside the partnership, positioning the two parts of its beauty business as parallel investments.
The announcement does not set out a detailed rollout schedule. The stated starting point is spring 2027, when the offer is expected to appear in selected stores and online. The goal of around 100 physical sites is described as something to build towards over time, rather than a confirmed launch-day store count.
““Our partnership with M&S is the next evolution of this strategy, introducing a retail model that complements our existing formats and allows us to build on the strength of the Sephora brand in the UK.””
— Catherine Spindler, President of Europe & Middle East at Sephora
Store Plans and Product Range
Several practical details remain unconfirmed. The companies have not identified which M&S stores will host Sephora at launch, how quickly the rollout will proceed or when it might reach around 100 physical sites. That figure is an ambition stated for growth over time, not a confirmed number of locations scheduled to open in spring 2027.
The complete product list is also pending. The partners have outlined broad beauty categories and said the offer will include established and emerging brands and selected exclusives, but have not named the products, brands or prices. The report does not specify whether every online product will be available in every participating store, or how click-and-collect will work for items in the Sephora at M&S range.
The announcement sets out the companies’ growth and customer goals but does not include financial projections, expected customer numbers or specific targets for sales. Those outcomes cannot be assessed from the information released so far.
Details Ahead of Spring 2027
The first stated milestone is the planned launch in spring 2027, through selected M&S stores and the M&S website. Before then, the partners say they will confirm the full product line-up, including new-to-M&S brands and selected Sephora exclusives, closer to launch. Further information about participating stores and the rollout will be needed to show how the plan will take shape.
For shoppers, the next useful updates will be the opening locations, the range available online and in store, and details of delivery and click-and-collect for these products. The companies have not provided dates for those announcements. The longer-term test will be whether the offer expands toward the stated goal of around 100 physical sites and becomes a lasting part of both retailers’ UK beauty businesses.
