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.

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.
