With further openings on the horizon – including Manchester Arndale, Oxford Westgate, and Cardiff St David's – Sephora 'is building momentum across the UK and bringing prestige beauty closer to more communities and regions' it said. Sephora UK managing director Sarah Boyd added: '2025 is shaping up to be one of our most exciting (and busiest) years yet at Sephora UK and bringing our beauty playground to Sheffield is a huge part of that momentum.'

Due to Sephora's unique retail experience and exclusive product ranges we're confident it will become a go-to destination for beauty lovers across the region.'

How to pull off summer's no make-up look
No make-up make-up is the ultimate beauty oxymoron. Don't expect it to involve fewer products or any less money, but it will most definitely leave you looking your best without seeming overly made-up. In other words, it is perfect for long summer days and lazy holidays. Here's what really works. Stila All About The Blur StickNow this is a little stick of magic that goes on clear, mattifies and gives a soft-focus finish but without pigment. Use on shiny T-zones on warmer days and watch pores, unwanted shine and sweat disappear. £28.50; Merit The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF50This tinted sunscreen has taken the beauty cognoscenti by storm this summer. Why? Because it truly works on all skin shades and gives a flattering finish, especially on sensitive and oilier skin. It's not a primary SPF but ideal for an added layer of sun protection. It looks great on the go, comes in 15 shades and is a multifunction summertime saver. £34; Erborian CC CrèmeSeeing is believing with this little beauty from the wildly popular Korean brand. It goes on looking like a moisturiser yet turns to a lightly pigmented, Instagram-esque 'Paris filter' for your face. Just recently it has been reduced in price. It comes in four shades but more are promised later this year. I tested this on This Morning and every male presenter wanted to take one home. Your skin on its best day in a tube. £38; • Caroline Hirons: Britain's most powerful beauty expert House of Hur Moist Ampoule BlusherThis is the serum soft-tint liquid blusher that took TikTok by storm as the much more reasonably priced alternative to Armani. It comes in three shades and is gorgeous: super-flattering and sheer, it blends Korean hydrating skincare with a hint of a tint. £15; Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek StainThis lip balm goes on sheer but reacts to the pH of your lips to create a flattering, slightly intensified version of your lip colour. What's more, it acts as a lipcare balm at the same time to stave off the threat of dry, parched lips. £35, in four shades; Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh TintChanel has trouble keeping this in stock the minute the sun shines because it is such a cult product. It adds a hint of a tint, a hit of hydration and a healthy glow. Add concealer for more coverage, but this is the type of base you can wear on the beach and not look as if you're wearing a scrap of make-up (just great skin). £55, in eight shades; 19/99 Lash Tint MascaraNow this is clever: a mascara that is so subtle it can be worn in your brows too. It looks more like a lash tint as it adds colour but no volume or length, for a really natural and pretty look. It's tubing too, so no telltale smudges on hot and sweaty days. Better yet, it will rinse away with just warm water when you want. This is a brilliant Canadian brand that specialises in multipurpose products that are affordable too. £14, in three shades; • Read more beauty product reviews and advice from our experts Wonderskin FYP Translucent PowderI don't care how natural you look, you never want to be sweaty or shiny, and this totally translucent powder will work over even the most subtle base and on any skin tone. I discovered this when chatting to the make-up legend Val Garland, who keeps it in her SOS kit on set both for her own face when filming Glow Up and for models on cover shoots. £18; Glossier Shadow Stick Sometimes you need just a touch of shadow to define the eye in the lash line and in the crease of both eyes. This comes in five shades with music-themed names: try Riff for contouring – it's the ideal neutral shade that creates shadow and definition, blends easily, stays in place and doesn't really look like eyeshadow. £22; Find @nadinebaggott on Instagram and YouTube where she answers all your beauty questions

Tinted mineral sunscreen — the product of summer, with a caveat
Tinted mineral sunscreens are now available in more shades by more brands than ever before. Why it matters: They combine sun coverage and makeup in a product that appeals to " clean beauty" fans — but it's not a fit for everyone. The latest: Searches for "tinted mineral sunscreen" hit an all-time high this month, per Google Trends data. Skincare staples like Beauty of Joseon and EltaMD, and newer brands Merit Beauty and Tower 28, have launched tinted mineral sunscreens this year to meet growing demand. How it works: To reduce the white cast on the skin left by mineral sunscreen, tinted versions (and some non-tinted kinds) use smaller particle sizes and add iron oxides, says Esther Olu, a cosmetic chemist and instructor. What we're hearing: Tinted mineral sunscreens are "hydrating enough to replace your morning moisturizer" and can "offer just enough coverage that you can skip foundation or other coverup," says Nazanin Saedi, a dermatologist and associate professor at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Consumers also like the fact that mineral sunscreens don't penetrate the skin and — though they're not truly reef safe — seem better for the environment. They're especially appealing to people managing melasma or sensitive skin, "because allergic reactions to them are rare," Saedi said. Yes, but: Despite marketing promises of being " lightweight" and having a " light-as-air finish," tinted mineral sunscreens can appear "ashy" and be hard to reapply without feeling "really cakey," particularly on deeper skin tones, Olu says. It can be tough or impossible to find the right tinted mineral sunscreen: "We all have different undertones" and the available options are still "sparse," she says. Olu reviews sunscreen in social media videos, where she's shown how pure mineral sunscreens leave a white cast on her skin, and learned the hard way that tinted mineral sunscreens can stain your clothing. She prefers chemical sunscreen. Pro tip: Before you buy tinted mineral sunscreen, test a sample, or watch a reviewer with a similar skin tone apply the shade. Olu recommends creators @glowbyramon, @tamunoabbey and @ for skincare insight. Bottom line: The best sunscreen is one you'll actually use — and use enough of.
