As the nights draw in and the weather turns colder, Black Friday offers a chance to save on beauty essentials. We've rounded up the best legitimate deals on skincare, hair care and makeup from brands like Charlotte Tilbury and GHD, all tested and recommended by experts at the Filter. However, shoppers are urged to avoid impulse buys and only purchase items they've had their eye on for a while, as overspending is common during sales events.
Our team has verified each discount against the product's long-term average price to weed out artificially inflated deals. Tools like the Camelizer browser extension help reveal price histories on Amazon, ensuring you get genuine savings. Below are hand-picked offers on products our beauty experts love and use themselves.
Key site-wide sales include Lookfantastic (30% off with extra 5% using code SAVE5), Cult Beauty (30% off almost everything), Aromatherapy Associates (30% off with code BF30), and The Body Shop (30% off everything). Among standout product deals is the Charlotte Tilbury Mini Viral Beauty Icons makeup gift set, reduced to £33.75 from £45, featuring mini versions of popular items like the beauty light wand and Pillow Talk lipstick.
For self-care, the John Lewis beauty box offers 11 products worth £200 for just £48, including a Rituals Sakura candle, Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Bath & Shower oil, and a full-size Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish cleanser. Black Friday falls on 28 November, but many deals are already live. If you can't find what you're looking for now, check back on the big day.
