As the nights draw in and the weather gets colder, there’s nothing quite like a bargain to lift your spirits. We’ve tracked down the best Black Friday beauty deals on the hair care, skincare and beauty tech we’ve tested and recommended over the past year. From site-wide savings to standout gift sets, these are the offers that actually deliver.
Of course, Black Friday can fuel overconsumption, and our deputy editor once bought 20 lipsticks in “weird shades of pink” during a sale. Our advice? Don’t buy anything unless you’ve had your eye on it for a while, and take five to figure out what you really need. We’ve also checked each deal against the product’s long-term average price to avoid artificially inflated discounts, using tools like the Camelizer browser extension.
Among the best site-wide deals, Lookfantastic is offering 30% off with an extra 5% off selected items using code SAVE5, while Cult Beauty has 30% off almost everything. Aromatherapy Associates is running 30% off site-wide with code BF30, and The Body Shop has 30% off everything.
For specific products, the Charlotte Tilbury Mini Viral Beauty Icons makeup gift set is reduced to £33.75, down from £45, and includes mini versions of popular items like the beauty light wand and Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, plus a Pillow Talk lipstick and liner. Meanwhile, a John Lewis beauty box packed with 11 self-care treats, including a Rituals candle and full-size Aromatherapy Associates de-stress oil, is available for £48 instead of £200.
Some Black Friday deals won’t start until 28 November, but many are already live. If you can’t find the beauty bargains you’re looking for now, check back on the big day. And remember, if you aren’t sure about a purchase, Boxing Day sales are just around the corner.
