100+ Best Black Friday Beauty Deals I’ve Ever Tested
UPDATED: November 29, 6:05 PM—As the resident beauty expert among my friends and family, I am trying hard to field all requests for the best Black Friday beauty deals 2024. Everywhere I turn, someone is asking what to buy. Every year, I somehow forget how big Black Friday is on the shopping calendar. Black Friday and Cyber Monday has turned into a holiday in its own right; so much so that many look right past Thanksgiving to plan their buys ahead of time (or to scroll in between dinner and dessert!). And honestly, some of the best deals started earlier this week, rewarding diligent deal-hunters and early-bird holiday gift shoppers with coveted beauty sets and savings that come around only once a year.
Best Black Friday Beauty Deals 2024, at a Glance:Bluemercury: Blue Mercury is offering up to 50% off select products right now!Amazon: You can always find a great sale on Amazon, but right now the Black Friday beauty deals are what we’re after.Nordstrom: Get 20% off of haircare, skincare, and bodycare sets—ideal for gifting!Dermstore: Dermstore’s November sales bring savings of some of beauty’s biggest labels.Merit: Sitewide, enjoy 20% off—no code necessary.Westman Atelier: The brand is offering 20% off sitewide this Black Friday.Glossier: Enjoy 25% off a selection of makeup and skin-care goodies, and unlock 30% off on orders over $100.Ritual: Save 40% off a selection of multivitamins, probiotics, and supplements sitewide.Neiman Marcus: Score up to $500 off new regular-priced collections with code THANKFUL.Therabody: Take up to 50% off bestselling beauty and wellness gadgets.Ilia: Enjoy 20% off sitewide and 25% off orders over $125. And if you spend $150+, you get a free lip duo.Here are my top recommendations for the best Black Friday deals: Now’s the best time to find Dyson hair tools on sale, like the the Supersonic hair dryer or Airwrap multi-styler—ideal for someone shopping Vogue’s top gifts list—while they’re at $100 off. If you’re in the mood for an advent calendar, you can score these festive boxes with markdowns at top retailers—earning you additional savings as opposed to just buying all the cosmetics bundled. Speaking of retailers, Nordstrom, Bluemercury, and Amazon aren’t the only places to discover deals (though of the latter, Vogue shopping writer Concetta Ciarlo has curated her own shopping list of Amazon beauty sale must-haves not to miss on sale—there’s Bioderma and Embryolisse there, naturally). Many of Vogue’s favorite beauty brands—from Westman Atelier to Currentbody—are having their own sitewide deals. Merit, home to celebrity and editor-adored makeup and skincare finds, has a sale so good (20% off!) we had to give it its own article.
All of this and more, below. But watch this space! As the deals continue to roll out, I’ll be evaluating them all—and reporting only the best of the best here (plus, for the fashion girlies—Black Friday shoe, Black Friday jewelry, and Black Friday clothing deals!) to shop now.
BluemercuryWhen we saw that Bluemercury was offering a tiered sale, we knew we had to jump on the deals. Basically, get 20% off orders $200+, 25% off orders $800+, and 30% off orders $1,500+ through Cyber Monday. Of the most impressive offerings is La Mer’s Holiday Minis set comprised of the original Crème de la Mer, a hand cream, and a hydrating face lotion. Makeup lovers will delight on Pat McGrath Labs deals (I’m eyeing the blush stick as a stocking stuffer) and markdowns on Chantecaille’s creamy eyeliner. On the fragrance front, consider Ellis Brooklyn’s citrus-forward scent or Aromatherapy Essentials’s bath oil set dubbed one of our favorite wellness gifts.

Find a similar discount on Shark’s versatile hot tool. On the makeup front, Bobbi Brown’s plumping lip gloss delivers a plusher, glossier pout while an Anastasia Beverly Hills brow kit keeps all brow styles perfectly arched.

AmazonIn my opinion, Amazon is the place to go if your Cyber Week shopping strategy involves stocking up on your routine essentials. For example, replenish your bottle of Aveeno’s Daily Moisturizing lotion which will keep your hands, legs, and elbows moisturized all winter long. it’s a similar story for L’Oréal’s hyaluronic acid serum—known to expertly boost skin’s hydration levels after just one use. There are quite a few great device and gadget options on sale too: from the Dyson Airwrap to the Hailey Bieber-approved Medicube radiance device—when I tested it, I found that my skin appeared more glowy.

CurrentbodyHome to some of our favorite red light therapy gadgets (and many of our most-recommended beauty tools as part of its larger marketplace), Currentbody is offering a Black Friday sale worth writing home—and in Vogue—about. While there is not a sitewide discount, you can save on select bundles. For example, the Vogue Verified LED face mask is offered with its corresponding neck mask or Currentbody’s radio frequency device at a fraction of the cost—making it even cheaper to get the skin of your dreams without leaving home.

MeritWe’re not kidding: Merit is never discounted. So if you’ve been in need of a discount or are finally ready to shop that product you’ve been eyeing, you don’t want to miss their only sale of the year. Sitewide, enjoy 20% off—no code necessary. I’d recommend Retrospect, the brand’s new L’Extrait de Parfum—a modern, musky floral that’s one of my most-complimented perfumes and picks for top gifts of the year. On the makeup front, you can’t go wrong with The Minimalist foundation-meets-concealer or the Bronze Balm that blends like butter. Just layer both with the Great Skin Moisturizer which leaves skin glowing, but not overly dewy.

GlossierLeave it to Glossier to have a stellar Black Friday sale! When you shop, you’ll receive 25% sitewide. Even better, you’ll unlock 30% off on orders over $100. And if you spend $120, you’ll get a free Cloud Paint with your order. I prefer the blush in shade Haze for a black cherry moment along the cheeks and lids, but if you’re more interested in skincare, Full Orbit is one of my go-to eye creams these days when I need hydration and depuffing.

Westman AtelierWestman Atelier is one of those beauty brands that Vogue editors have gravitated towards since its 2018 launch. That’s because we love, and wholeheartedly trust, founder and acclaimed makeup artist Gucci Westman (who even taught editor Jessie Heyman to do her makeup for her wedding). Anywho, the brand is offering 20% off this Black Friday where you can get the new Vital Skincare Concealer (a recent favorite of mine for its blurring, self-setting properties) or Suprême C, one of the best vitamin C serums available right now. There are a few gift sets on sale, too, like a matte lipstick trio or makeup brush set.

DermstoreDermstore’s Cyber Week sales bring savings of some of beauty’s biggest labels. A SkinCeuticals deal is practically unheard of, and yet, you can get a trio of its bestsellers—the CE Ferulic vitamin C, the new wrinkle-smoothing P-Tiox serum, and a nourishing face cream—at a fraction of the cost. Even the NuFace microcurrent device is on sale—getting you one step closer to a chiseled jawline and a firmer complexion. Score up to 30% off with code JOY at checkout.

TherabodyWhen it comes to wellness gadgets, I always turn people to Therabody, who is offering up to 50% its bestsellers. The TheraFace mask is a favorite of mine, British Vogue’s beauty commerce writer Tracy Achonwa across the pond, and dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engleman. “This mask uses vibration therapy to boost blood circulation and release tension around the face,” Engelman says, highlighting what I think is its most compelling feature. This vibration is similar to the percussive therapy that powers its beloved massaging tools, also on sale.
Saks Fifth AvenueThe Saks Designer Sale is an underrated destination for the best beauty markdowns this Black Friday. In my review of the assortment, I was most impressed by the Saks Fifth Avenue and Dr. Barbara Sturm advent calendars being on sale—if you’re in the mood to test a bunch of products at once. The Dyson Airstrait, one of the brand’s latest hot tools designed to take hair from wet to straight with just air, is also $100 off, alongside markdowns on Tom Ford’s cult-favorite eyeshadow palette, Aerin’s sweet perfume set, and a Dagne Dover toiletry bag (useful for holiday travel on the horizon).

IliaI don’t know how my skin survived before Ilia’s The Base Face Milk—the hydrating toner delivers the nourishment my skin needs when sandwiched in between face wash and serums. Fortunately, it’s on sale this Black Friday. Ilia is offering 20% off sitewide and 25% off orders over $125. And if you spend $150+, you get a free lip duo. While shopping, consider adding the Sunshift Cream Bronzer—a weightless powder that adds instant dimension and warmth to skin—to cart.

RitualAny wellness fanatics know that Ritual makes some of the best supplements in the game. With 40% off sitewide, there’s seemingly no better time to shop. I’d recommend Synbiotic+, an incredible probiotic powered Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis (BB-12), plus the postbiotic Tributyrin, along with the prebiotic PreforPro in a time-release capsule. Or, in the world of protein powders, its Essential formula packs 20 grams of organic pea protein into one serving.

Victoria Beckham BeautyOver at Victoria Beckham Beauty, Posh Spice is giving us 20% off sitewide (thank you!). Plus, you can get a complimentary Satin Kajal eyeliner in shade Sea Gray on orders over $100. Speaking of the liner, pick one shade, plus two Eyewear stick shadows for a personalized Smudge and Shadow Set, currently marked down. Or, I’d shop the brand’s new face wash set which creates the ultimate double cleanse.

Summer FridaysHome to the famous Jet Lag Mask, Summer Fridays is offering a Black Friday sale worth writing home about. Enjoy 20% off with code CYBER through Monday. Plus, orders over $75 get a free travel tote perfect for storing all your new viral goodies. The aforementioned mask is great for an in-flight pick-me-up via niacinamide, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. You’ll also need a couple tubes of the Lip Butter Balm to keep lips moisturized, glossy, and flake-free.
