The best makeup and cosmetics stores in Stockholm

NK Beauty

Website

Wide range

In what might just be Stockholm's most glamorous department store you can get both treatments and makeup consultations. NK Beauty Lounge offers nail care, lash and brow dyeing, eyelash extensions and blow-outs in pleasant surroundings. Makeup consultations take an hour and are carried out at the beauty counters on the ground floor where NK's professional makeup artists can help you find the right products and apply everything from inspiring everyday looks to attention-grabbing party makeup.

Sephora

Website

French beauty giant

French Sephora has taken the world by storm. The brand's founder, Dominique Mandonnaud, revolutionised beauty boutiques in the Sixties when he brought products out of the cupboards and gave customers the chance to move freely around the boutique testing, feeling, smelling and exploring. You can still do that in Sephora's stores, and in their branch on Biblioteksgatan the staff can also tailormake makeup and beauty consultations according to customer's individual needs. 

Face Stockholm

Website

Swedish export

Face Stockholm was founded in 1992 when Gun Nowak opened her first shop, and today the brand can be found in over 100 outlets all over the world. In Stockholm you'll find several light and airy stores with charming vintage details which contrast with the colourful makeup in minimilistic packaging. Naturally you can get advice from the experienced staff, but if you want to really develop your makeup techniques you can also go on one of their comprehensive weekend courses.
