It’s time to Squad up! We’re entering our 4th year of the #SephoraSquad program. We’re excited to announce that the 2022 #SephoraSquad applications are officially open, and we’d like to invite you to learn more & apply. We’re looking for the most authentic and inspiring voices in the beauty space to take part in this one-of-a-kind, year-long paid partnership with Sephora.
If you’re passionate about being part of a community where building bonds, pushing creativity, and having fun are always top priorities (along with a love of all things beauty, of course), we want to hear from you—no matter your follower count! We’re looking forward to reviewing your application.
Though applications are officially closed for 2022, read on to learn more about the #SephoraSquad program.
Launched in 2019, #SephoraSquad set out to recruit unique and inspiring storytellers with a diverse range of followers, points of view, and interests.
Sephora initially came to Fohr looking for a way to lean in and support creators in the beauty space in a profound and impactful way. Rather than connect with influencers for one-off campaigns, Sephora wanted to develop long-term partnerships with diverse voices in the beauty space. Sephora sought to support the beauty community as a whole by amplifying often unheard voices and stories.
We at Fohr helped Sephora build the #SephoraSquad program and have helped it evolve and grow into what it is today. #SephoraSquad features an annual application process that includes powerful follower testimonials to help select the final Squad members. Along the way, we’ve built out a robust mentorship program to guide members and direct access to both the Sephora and Fohr teams.
Here are a few things you can expect from being a part of the #SephoraSquad program:
Mentorship: This includes access to training, resources, and keeping you up-to-date on what’s happening in the creator and beauty space.
Professional Development: Work on your professional skills to take with you beyond your #SephoraSquad partnership through peer and professional coaching. Get advice and tools for strategy and content creation.
Community: #SephoraSquad immediately connects you to like-minded creators and offers networking opportunities to meet up, ask questions and find support.
Access: You’ll find opportunities to collaborate on Sephora campaigns and work with a variety of Sephora brands. You can also connect directly with Sephora’s marketing team, the team at Fohr, and the #SephoraSquad launch partners through monthly office hours. Ask any questions and meet with the team via in-person or remote events.
Ongoing support: Rather than a one-off campaign, #SephoraSquad is a lasting relationship. #SephoraSquad alumni will always be a part of the community.
Opportunities: Of course, #SephoraSquad offers fun perks, free products, and the chance to work on exciting projects and campaigns.
Reach: Expand your reach with the opportunity to be amplified on Sephora’s channels or recommended for campaigns with new and existing brands at Sephora.
Sephora is committed to finding a diverse group of creators representing their own powerful stories. They want to partner with creators no matter where they are along their journey. We want to hear your story.
The #SephoraSquad is composed of creators of all experience levels and following sizes, whether you’re an up-and-coming influencer or if you have a well-established following. With the stability of a long-term paid contract and creative flexibility, you’ll learn to grow and succeed as part of this program creatively.
Everyone can find a place to belong at Sephora.
We find that many creators and influencers discount themselves before they even apply. Many are afraid to apply because they feel they don't have what it takes to be a part of the Squad, whether because of their follower count or metrics. Our message to you: Take a chance on yourself, be confident, and apply. We look for applicants with a powerful story and a unique vantage point. You truly never know what could happen.
The #SephoraSquad has historically been a career launch for content creators. If you are eager, excited, and committed, #SephoraSquad will give back what you put into it. Hear what the Squad alum have to say:
