Today, Sephora is proud to announce the return of its biggest and most inclusive beauty event of the year, SEPHORiA: Virtual House of Beauty. Previously held in 2018 and 2019 as a live and ticketed event, this year’s SEPHORiA will return virtually with an exciting 3D game-like environment featuring an interactive beauty “house” with multiple rooms to explore. This free, one-of-a-kind event will take place on September 18 from 10AM – 1PM PST/1 – 4PM EST, with registration going live today.
“We are thrilled to re-introduce SEPHORiA this year and bring our customers a unique, innovative, and more inclusive beauty experience,” said Deborah Yeh, Chief Marketing Officer at Sephora. “In 2021, we felt it was important to have a moment of joy with our customers and we’ve worked hard to recreate the special SEPHORiA environment our customers know and love, by delivering an unmatched virtual experience that they can enjoy free, from anywhere. We look forward to welcoming back customers into the (virtual) world of SEPHORiA.”
