Sephora E-Commerce UX/UI Redesign
Overview
Redefining the mobile shopping flow to improve clarity, trust, and conversion.
Sephora is a global beauty retailer with a massive, mobile-first audience. But while the brand reflects elegance and luxury, its mobile experience felt visually crowded and functionally disconnected from user expectations.
As a UI/UX designer, I set out to redesign the Product Detail and Cart pages focusing on usability, visual hierarchy, and user trust, all while honoring the Sephora brand.
This wasn’t just about making it prettier. It was about making decisions easier, checkout smoother, and users feel sure about their purchase.
Design Goals
Simplify product info layout for quicker decision-making
Streamline cart & checkout flow to reduce drop-offs
Declutter UI by organizing content into collapsible sections
Ensure visual consistency aligned with Sephora’s brand
Prioritize mobile usability with responsive and thumb-friendly design
Highlight trust signals like ratings, badges, and reviews
Before Design Snapshots
Here’s what I noticed in the original design:
Too many competing visual elements
Important actions like "Add to Cart" felt buried
No clear journey through product selection and checkout
These screens made it clear: the visual weight wasn’t supporting the decision flow
Design Enhancements and Evolution
With key issues identified, I refined the UI to boost clarity and conversion:
Expandable product sections for a cleaner, scannable layout
Sticky Add to Cart button with live shade and price info
Smart product carousel to suggest without distracting
Whitespace and dividers to improve readability
Checkout progress tracker to guide users step by step
Every decision aimed to simplify, reassure, and convert
After Design Showcase
Final Outcome:
Clean, accessible, and brand-aligned screens
Improved both usability and performance
What I Learned:
Great design clears the path—users should never second-guess actions
If I were to continue, I’d explore:
AI-driven product suggestions
Microinteractions for instant feedback
Voice support & high-contrast accessibility
