Sephora has given beauty fans a sneak preview of what to expect from its first Australian store.

Via a written statement, the popular beauty chain confirmed a number of popular brands to be stocked in the flagship store, which will open in Sydney’s Pitt Street Mall in December.

Forget fashion retail wars, come December Sephora, David Jones and Myer will be doing battle via cosmetic counters. Here Jessica Gomes gets a last-minute touch up before the DJs fashion preview.

Sephora Australia Country Manager Fiona Novak said the full ranges of Marc Jacobs Beauty, Tarte, Kat Von D, MAKE UP FOR EVER, Andre Fullerton, Boscia, Skin Inc, For Beloved One, Formula X, Wen, Percy & Reed have all been confirmed for sale in Australia. More brands are to be announced in the coming months.

The popular make-up chain, which also carries more than 600 products for men, will set up a self-service format inside the first Australian store, essentially creating a three-story, 800 square metre supermarket. It will be the largest Sephora store in the southern hemisphere.
