Why does this charge appear?

When Sephora processes a transaction through their point-of-sale systems or online checkout, the descriptor is automatically truncated to "SEPHORA*" because merchant banking systems typically limit the number of characters allowed in a statement descriptor field. The asterisk following the name is a standard formatting convention used by payment processors like Adyen, which Sephora partners with, to separate the merchant name from any additional location or order reference data that may follow. If you recently purchased foundation, skincare, or fragrance either in-store or through Sephora.com, the "SEPHORA*" charge on your statement is a legitimate record of that beauty purchase.
