Method

Sephora, an LVMH chain with its US headquarters in San Francisco, is the shelf that creator beauty brands treat as validation. Selfless by Hyram and Item Beauty both launch there in summer 2021 across roughly 700 stores in 29 countries and both exit in January 2023, ColourPop makes Sephora its first retail partner in 2017, and One/Size by Patrick Starrr sells there from 2020. The 2023 exits show that the Sephora rung can break in under two years when creator affinity does not translate into repeat purchase.
