Black Friday and Cyber Monday aren’t just about scoring a new TV or upgrading your tech—these annual sales events are goldmines for beauty enthusiasts looking to update their routines, experiment with hyped products, or stock up on essentials at unbeatable prices. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or searching for the perfect gift, this guide will help you navigate the best beauty discounts, understand deal structures, and choose cult-favorite products worth your investment.

Why Black Friday & Cyber Monday Matter in Beauty

The beauty market’s biggest savings of the year happen during these holiday weekends. Brands and retailers compete to offer the most tempting discounts, doorbuster deals, and exclusive bundles, making it the perfect window to stockpile everything from skincare staples to hot new makeup launches. In 2023, many retailers have extended deals, started sales early, and included free gifts with purchase—so early birds (and late-night shoppers) alike have opportunities to save.

Must-Know Shopping Tips for Beauty Bargain Hunters

  • Set Up Accounts with your favorite online retailers in advance for seamless, faster checkout during flash sales.
  • Join Loyalty Programs before the sales kick off—many brands offer early access and extra perks to members.
  • Make a Wishlist so you don’t get distracted; this helps prevent overbuying or missing out on your dream products.
  • Stack Offers by combining sitewide discounts, codes for free gifts, and rewards points for maximum savings.
  • Read the Fine Print—not all deals apply to every product. Pay attention to exclusions or minimum spend requirements.

  • Indulge in Treats: The best time for a new lipstick, bold palette, or luxury serum is when it’s significantly discounted.
  • Holiday Gifts & Sets: Short on time or inspiration? Value sets and limited-edition bundles make thoughtful presents (and usually have a lower price per item).
  • Check Expiration Dates: Stock up, but make sure you’ll actually use everything before it expires—especially for skincare.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: When do the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty deals start?

Many beauty sales now start up to a week early and often extend through Cyber Monday and beyond. Check brand and retailer sites regularly for rolling offers and early bird specials, and sign up for newsletters for alerts.

Q: Are bundles and sets better value than single products?

Usually—especially during Black Friday when brands create holiday-exclusive sets. These often offer more product for less, and may include limited-run items not sold separately.

Q: Do I need discount codes for most deals?

Some sales are applied automatically at checkout, while others require entering a code (like CYBER23 or BF2023) found on the site’s homepage or in newsletters. Always check before you pay!

Q: What products sell out fastest?

Viral favorites (like Fenty’s Gloss Bomb or Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer), doorbuster bundles, and luxury tools tend to sell out within hours. If you have your eye on something popular, shop as early as possible.

Q: Can I stack deals?

Some retailers let you combine sitewide sales with free gift codes or loyalty points, but most don’t allow multiple discount codes on a single order. It pays to experiment at checkout and read the terms carefully.
