Marc Jacobs has not only just launched his make-up line, he has also opened his first beauty store.

The two were both launched on Aug 9 - the 121-piece line of colour cosmetics at Sephora stores in the United States, and the 500 sq ft store on Bleecker Street in New York.

The beauty boutique, which takes over Jacobs' accessories store, is part of a cluster of the designer's shops on the same street; it joins the Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Bookmarc and Little Marc boutiques there. Besides make-up, the store also carries Jacobs' fragrances.
