"research"

[amalnahurriyeh]

Where would one go to buy nice makeup in London? Somewhere like Sephora, with salesclerks to help you pick the colors that suit you and high quality supplies. And, in addition, what's a likely place you might go to find make-up that's less high-end, but more ubiquitous? (In the US, this would likely be a pharmacy, or a large grocery store in the suburbs.)

Look, it's all amyhit's fault, OK?

MAC, possibly. Or one of the big department stores: Selfridges, Harrods, Harvey Nicks, Liberty.

For less expensive makeup, Boots ("the chemist," AKA a pharmacy). Or a slightly less posh department store like Debenhams, though it would also have salesclerks.

Miss Selfridge, maybe, or a large Boots. For the high end, Space NK or Harrod's, Harvey Nicks etc.

ETA: I can't believe I forgot Topshop!

Seconding the above. You can also generally find boutique shops supplying one brand only (e.g. MAC or Benefit) in the high streets of the nicer neighbourhoods, e.g. Kensington, Angel/Islington or Kings Road in Chelsea.
