I visited Sephora and Ulta to find out why Gen Z prefers to shop at the two beauty stores.
  • Sephora is the top beauty store among Gen Z teens. 
  • Ulta follows close behind at number two. 
  • I visited both stores to see how they compare.

Among the stores Gen Z shops the most, Sephora and Ulta are neck-and-neck for the top beauty stores.
