Marks & Spencer has announced a major new partnership with Sephora that will bring Sephora beauty products to 100 M&S stores across the UK from spring 2027.

The partnership will also allow customers to access selected Sephora products through M&S's online platform.

The deal comes as M&S continues to expand its beauty business and compete for a larger share of the UK's beauty market.

Sephora returned to the UK in 2022 and has since expanded its presence in the country. The partnership with M&S will give the beauty retailer another way to reach customers across Britain.

For M&S, beauty is becoming an increasingly important part of its wider retail strategy, alongside clothing, food and home products.

The companies are expected to reveal more details about the specific Sephora brands and products that will be available closer to the launch.

The partnership marks another significant development in the UK's highly competitive retail and beauty sector.
