Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sephora Canada will Launch 'Shimmer Studio by Sephora' Pop-Up

— November 7, 2024 — Marketing
Sephora Canada is launching 'Shimmer Studio by Sephora,' a special pop-up experience designed for concert attendees and makeup lovers. Coinciding with Taylor Swift's concert dates in Toronto, this activation provides a space for visitors to "explore Sephora’s selection of top makeup, skincare, and hair care products, with a focus on creating concert-ready looks."

The pop-up offers a variety of beauty enhancements, from shimmering skin to bold red lip options, catering to those looking to add extra flair to their concert experience. Additionally, attendees will "receive a special bounce-back offer to redeem at select Sephora stores, including a complimentary Shimmering Beauty pouch with a qualifying purchase." Visitors will also receive a 'Shimmer Studio' temporary tattoo, redeemable in-store to claim the offer.

Moreover, this pop-up aligns with Sephora’s approach to cater to Gen Z and concert enthusiasts by pairing beauty with a celebrated event, drawing in younger audiences with a passion for style and music.
