CULT makeup retailer Sephora is set to open its doors at Westfield Chermside.

Scentre Group, which owns Westfield in Australia and New Zealand, has confirmed the cosmetics haven, prized by makeup lovers around the globe, will feature as one of three anchor stores in the shopping centre’s $355 million redevelopment.

Joining Sephora will be Spanish clothing giant Zara and Swedish multinational H&M.

The stores are the highlight of the 33,000sqm expansion of the shopping centre, bringing the northside shopping mecca to 156,000sqm.

The upgrades will also facilitate a new leisure and dining precinct as well as around 95 new stores.

A Scentre Group spokeswoman said the development was on track to open in the second quarter of 2017.

She said more than 1000 additional car spaces would also open roughly within the next week, just in time for the influx of Christmas shoppers.

Around 250 of those new car parks were expected to be opened this week.
