12 Highlights of Sephora Playhouse at Ngee Ann City

In celebration of 10 years of beauty, Sephora presents 10 days of fun in its first and biggest beauty playground in Singapore, the Sephora Playhouse. Spanning a staggering 700 square meters at Ngee Ann City, Civic Plaza, any beauty aficionado can rock out to one-of-a-kind interactive experiences in this warehouse-sized Insta-ready funhouse brimming with all that Sephora aims to teach, inspire and play.

Let me do a run down on the 12 things you can see, do and get at the Sephora Playhouse.

The Sephora Playhouse is a varied and vibrant beauty-verse bursting at the seams with nine individually themed rooms custom-built just for this event. Each room represents one brand, is fully interactive, on-trend, and has a striking and distinct aesthetic theme for the perfect photo op. If you have the Sephora app, open it while you’re at the Sephora Playhouse for exclusive content and an enhanced interactive experience.

2) Lounge with life-sized Fenty Beauty’s Moroccan Spice Eyeshadow Palette

Experts agree that blue light is increasingly becoming a cause for concern, with damaging effects on the skin, especially from close-range blue light (e.g. your favourite midnight IG scrolling). This results in the first signs of ageing now appearing around the eyes. With your life being exposed to so many kinds of pollution, including Blue Light from your many screens and devices, rest assured that Estée Launder is here to save the day with their newest innovation in skincare, the Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex. Navigate your way through the blue light prismatic mirror maze and see if you can find quotes along the way to help you find your true sparkle.

4) Sample products at Fresh Beauty’s dream “beauty kitchen”

Go on an indulgent and sensorial journey as you sample products made from Fresh’s signature ingredients.
