Our Top Makeup Deals:
Nordstrom
Nordstrom always comes through with makeup deals—year-round, yes, but especially as Black Friday starts to rear its beautiful, beautiful head. Rich with sets and singles, consider early shopping or self-spoiling while it delivers early discounts on covetable luxury brands like Bobbi Brown and Westman Atelier.
Bobbi Brown
Extra Plump Hydrating Lip Oil Duo
Lip treatment plus plumpness is an unstoppable combination, which is why we’re tossing this Bobbi Brown Plump Hydrating Lip Oil Duo. It’s the vibe of a gloss with all of the nourishment of lip care. We’re talking hyaluronic acid (love) and a moisturizing botanical oil blend.
Westman Atelier
Eye Want Westman Set
Westman Atelier’s Eye Want Westman Set should be called We Want Westman Set (see what we did there). Complete with an Eye Love You Eyeliner Pencil and Eye Want You Mascara, you’ll get a two-in-one eye routine that fits into any makeup routine.
Amazon
Our Amazon Prime accounts are good for more than just next-day paper towels. Nay, the online mega-store carries some of our favorite beauty brands—from Lancôme to Maybelline New York—at some of our favorite prices. And in the pre-Black Friday weeks, it shows us extra love.
Lancôme
Définicils High Definition Mascara
Lancôme’s Défincils High Definition Mascara separates, volumizes, and delivers rich pigment to every lash. Just a few swipes result in a natural yet glam-looking eye.
Maybelline
Super Stay Vinyl Ink
A good lip stain gives your ever-loyal best friend a run for her money (sorry, Michelle). Maybelline New York’s Super Stay Vinyl Ink comes in a ton of stunning shades that stay put all day and look great on their own or under a gloss.
Bluemercury
The Swiss army tool of beauty retailers, Bluemercury has the goods. Whether we’re shopping for new skin care or restocking our cosmetic bags, we can always count on the site (and IRL stores) to bring on a bevy of first-rate products. Better yet? The sales for select brands such as have begun.
By Terry
Rouge-Expert Click Stick
The Rouge-Expert Click Stick brought to us via By Terry is multi-use lipstick with the precision of a pencil, conditioning of a balm, and pigment like your favorite lippie. Flirt Affair delivers a hearty dose of comfy, rosy-taupe color that lasts all day.
Estée Lauder
Double Wear Stay In Place Matte Powder Foundation
You can wear the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Matte Powder Foundation solo or over a liquid or cream foundation for an extra-smooth, matte finish. It’s a big help for oil control, and the two-sided applicator is part sponge (for full coverage) and part velvet (for medium coverage).
Dermstore
What’s in a name? Well, here, it’s “derm,” which, naturally, evokes “skin.” But don’t be fooled, we implore you. Dermstore also has a huge beauty selection you can find in our browser history. Hello, Eyeko and Stila.
Eyeko
Black Magic Mascara
Eyeko’s Black Magic Mascara is infused with conditioning shea butter and keratin and comes in a deep black and a warm, chestnut brown for no-makeup-makeup days. The curved applicator helps coat every lash in as few swipes as possible.
Stila
Pixel Perfect Concealer
Undereye bags are no match for Stila’s Pixel Perfect Concealer. With elderflower, sea moss, and baobab, the formula aids in depuffing via a lightweight, blurring finish. You can also grab a deeper shade to use as contour.
Ulta Beauty
Ulta Beauty has the whole beauty thing down pat, sale or no sale. Stocked with the makeup, hair care, and skin care of our editor dreams, we’re definitely all over the online sale aisle this fall. L’Oréal Paris and Colourpop are affordable as is, but we’ll never turn down additional markdowns.
L’Oréal
Age Perfect 4-in-1 Tinted Face Balm Foundation
The L’Orèal Paris Age Perfect 4-in-1 Tinted Face Balm Foundation firms, nourishes, and blurs complexions. It’s set apart by its balm-like texture, which lends to an extra soft, light to medium-coverage finish.
Colourpop
Born to Blush 4-in-1 Cheek Palette
Colourpop’s Born to Blush 4-in-1 Cheek Palette is a multifaceted hottie that features two blushes, a highlighter, and a bronzer. It’s a treat for travelers and blends like a dream.
Sephora
O’ Sephora, my Sephora. We eagerly look to the does-it-all retailer in the weeks and months leading up to the big sale weekend for early discounts—base makeup (Caliray skin tints, so gorgeous), lippies, and beyond. The deals are mothering—literally, Dame Pat McGrath is mother.
Pat McGrath Labs
MatteTrance Lipstick
Pat McGrath Labs knows lipstick—MatteTrance as evidence. This stunner imparts a soft, non-feathering matte that still manages to pull off a lightweight finish. And the tube? Gorgeen.
Caliray
Freedreaming Blurring Lightweight Skin Tint
When the day calls for barely there coverage, Caliray’s Freedreaming Blurring Lightweight Skin Tint knows what’s up. It blurs, hydrates, repairs, and imparts a lovely, sheer hue.
