THE BEST BEAUTY STORES IN JAKARTA: WHERE TO BUY MAKE-UP AND SKINCARE PRODUCTS
1. Sephora
Ah, Sephora. The mecca of everything beauty. We’ll admit that our version of the cosmetic superstore is not as fully stocked as our neighbour in Singapore, but at least Sephora over here still carries beloved brands like Benefit, Too Faced and their namesake brand, Sephora Collection. After acquiring and merging with Luxola, Sephora has also upped their online shop, carrying a plethora of high-end Asian brands like Dr. Jart+ and Laneige.
2. Galeries Lafayette
Consider this your one-stop shop for French make up and beauty products galore at Galeries Lafayette! You know, those famous brands like Lancôme and Yves Saint Laurent, from highlighter and foundation , to Eau de Perfum, too.
3. Metro
Hit the closest Metro store for alll of your make up essentials. Go to the MAC Cosmetics counter to get your hands on a summery blush and long-lasting gel eyeliner for a whole night of dancing. Take a few steps to the Chanel counter to pick up their iconic fragrances, or opt for Dior’s mascara so you can bat those luscious lashes!
4. Sogo
Fans of luxury cosmetics, head right on here. Sogo is a high-end shopping centre, carrying the best international brands, from fashion to make-up and fragrances. Think Versace perfume, Skintific foundation cushion, and more. Psst… look out for their special holiday collections and gift sets, too.
