Post Wanted rounded up the best Black Friday beauty, makeup, skincare and haircare deals that you don’t want to miss. Here are the top brands and the products to buy.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past five years of obsessively testing beauty products and stalking shopping events, it’s this: Black Friday is not for the faint of heart — or the unprepared.
From glossy lipsticks to cult-favorite serums, the deals out there can make your wallet tremble, your cart overflow, and your beauty ambitions soar. As someone who has spent more hours than I care to admit navigating Sephora’s ever-shifting sale racks, hunting Amazon’s hidden markdowns and elbowing my way through Ulta Beauty’s irresistible bundle offers, I can confidently say: I’ve cracked the code on scoring the best Black Friday beauty steals.
Let’s be real: finding a genuinely good deal in the chaos of Black Friday (which kicked off on Friday, Nov. 28, BTW) is like trying to swatch every shade of foundation in one trip without smudging your hand. That’s where my experience comes in. I’ve been testing, reviewing and reporting on everything from serums that promise miracles to mascaras that actually lengthen, all while keeping a sharp eye on major shopping events.
My goal? To save you the headache of trial and error, so you can stock up on your beauty favorites (or finally try that glow-up product that’s been whispering your name) without regretting it later.
This guide is your backstage pass to the beauty world’s wildest sales. Here, I cover the top retailers that consistently deliver jaw-dropping deals — Amazon, Sephora and Ulta Beauty and the like — and break down which items are actually worth your attention versus the ones that only look like a bargain.
Think of me as your beauty BFF with a calculator in one hand and a highlighter in the other, ready to highlight the deals that will truly transform your routine.Amazon
