Sephora’s beauty makeover at Kohl’s begins

More than 70 Sephora locations are opening inside Kohl’s this month, adding to the online Sephora Collection being made available to consumers, including Sephora own brand and exclusive items like Fenty Beauty and Drunk Elephant.

Kohl’s announced in December the move to have Sephora replace its beauty department, preparing 200 shops to open by fall and reach at least 850 Kohl’s stores by 2023.

Joining Sephora’s private brand and exclusives will be beauty brands such as Lancôme and Bare Minerals, as well as emerging clean beauty brands like ILIA and Milk Makeup.
