Black Friday & Cyber Monday Beauty Deals 2023
Black Friday & Cyber Monday Beauty Deals 2023

If you’re looking for the best Black Friday Makeup & Beauty Deals for 2023, you’ve come to the right place! We have an extensive list of deals from your favorite brands and retailers. There are a lot of sales that start early this year, plenty that won’t be revealed until closer to Black Friday week, and so much more to share!

This year, Black Friday is November 24th and Cyber Monday is November 27th, but you can expect a slew of deals going live between now and then. Typically, there are pre-Black Friday deals that will begin Monday, November 20th, but as it has been each year, more and more brands start having pre-Black Friday deals, which started this week. I noticed that this year a lot of deals even kicked off this week with many going live already or in the next few days.

What is Black Friday 2023?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (which is November 24th), so Black Friday 2023 falls in November 24th, 2023 this year. It’s a popular day for brands and retailers to launch mega sales and promotions geared to get your holiday gift-giving dollars. More and more brands participate each year, which can make it overwhelming to know when to shop or whether a deal is really good.

That increased competition has given way to Cyber Week 2023, which kicks off November 20th, 2023 and marks when most of the earlier sales begin, through Cyber Monday 2023 on November 27th.

Black Friday Shopping Tips

  • Make your list! (And check it twice!) It’s better to go into a plethora of sales having a game plan of what items you’ve been looking for, what you need for yourself or as gifts for others. This also helps to avoid impulse purchases or getting sidetracked by a good deal on something you didn’t really want!
  • Compare offers! Products can be purchased from brands directly, which is often the best deal, but sometimes retailers have better incentives, lower free shipping thresholds, and the like. You’ll also want to check Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday offers when brands have revealed both, since sometimes one is better than the other!
  • If it’s too good to be true… prepare to cyber-camp for the deal. If you’re hours late to the deal, things can get sold out or picked through quite a bit, so if you have your list ready, and you’re ready to go when the deal goes live, it shouldn’t be too frustrating!
  • Mark your calendar! Most brands and retailers run on EST, and a lot of deals go live midnight EST but occasionally brands launch at PST (Sephora is often one, and Ulta runs on CST). When in doubt, try at midnight EST and if nothing launches, then it’s likely midnight PST.

If your brand has a deal, or you know of one that isn’t listed below, just comment below 🙂

Thank you to each and every reader who shops using our links during one of the busiest seasons of the year as well as throughout the year — this time of year usually sets the tone for how much budget I have for reviewing products for the next year. You can find affiliate links for all brands and retailers we work with here (including international brands and retailers) as well. — xo, Christine

Favorite Formulas

Below, you’ll find my favorite formulas from Fenty Beauty and some of the top-rated shades within each formula. It should come as no surprise that the Cheeks Out Cream Blushes top my list–really a category that I’ve been waiting for a brand to fill with something fantastic, and Fenty did it!

I also keep a few of Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighters (duos or singles) in my drawer of go-tos. Afternoon Snack/Mo’ Hunny and Wattabratt are two I’ll use for something quick ‘n’ easy for review photos, and they’ve been in my vanity drawer since they launched (you can read more about them in my Must-Haves from 2020).

I’ve repurchased the original Fenty Gloss Bomb a few times at this point, and it’s been a favorite for awhile (see Must-Haves That Stayed Favorites from 2018!). I keep one in my bag as well as in my vanity for easy, on-the-go application that’s shiny, comfortable, and has a bit of dimension (but goes with any look).

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain

The formula is supposed to have a glossy finish that leaves a “soft tint” behind while being hydrating, feather-resistant, and offers “sheer-to-medium coverage.” It has a a thinner, more watery texture initially, which developed to something smoother and plusher without being too tacky. This helped the product stay in place and be bleed/feather-resistant while having longer-wear, but it was still comfortable to wear. Read more…

Top Rated Shades

Availability

Fenty Beauty

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush

The formula is supposed to give a “fresh wash of color” that is “effortless” to blend with a “natural-looking” finish. The coverage is designed to be “sheer, buildable” with a “sweat- and water-resistant formula.” The brand recommends to apply with fingertips or their 125 brush (which is a fairly dense, angled brush). Read more…

Top Rated Shades

Availability

Fenty Beauty

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r Instant Warmth Bronzer

The formula is supposed to have “long-wear” that is “transfer-resistant,” “easy to blend, and “light-as-air” with buildable coverage that “is hard to overdo.” The pigmentation was more medium to semi-opaque with some shades being nearly opaque in a single layer. For truly buildable pigmentation, I would recommend using a light hand initially or a less-dense brush to pick up and to apply the product. Read more…

Top Rated Shades

Availability

Fenty Beauty

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick

The formula is supposed to have “sheer” coverage that is “ultra comfortable” that “lock[s] in moisture.” It’s designed to be something you can apply without a mirror (which just really make it clear that it is a sheerer product), but it does say “buildable” with multiple layers. The consistency was moderately dense in the tube but melted subtly as I applied it to my lips, and it felt more emollient after a few seconds of wear. They felt lightweight without being tacky, and it had more of a light-medium level of slip, so it didn’t seem to slide around a lot during wear. It definitely has a balmy feel on the lips but has some staying power (but less than say, an opaque, satin lipstick). Read more…

Top Rated Shades

Availability

Fenty Beauty

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer

The formula is supposed to have a “peach-vanilla” scent (I’d agree–sweet, lightly fruity) and be “conditioning.” It was designed to be worn alone or layered over other lip products. The consistency was very smooth, light-to-medium in weight, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. It had a plusher consistency that helped it stay out of most of my lip lines. The shimmer was moderate but noticeable, and it distributed evenly across the lips. They last about three hours on my lips but are hydrating.

According to buying trends, sunscreen is one of the top-selling products beginning in April, as people prepare for more time spent outdoors, vacations planned during the summer, and the like. Wearing sunscreen is important for several reasons:

  1. Protection from UV radiation: Sunscreen helps to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Exposure to UV radiation can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
  2. Preventing skin damage: Sunscreen helps to prevent damage to the skin caused by exposure to the sun’s rays. This damage can include dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
  3. Lower risk of skin cancer: Regular use of sunscreen can significantly lower the risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, which is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
  4. Maintaining an even skin tone: Sunscreen can help to maintain an even skin tone by preventing the development of dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage.
  5. Reducing the risk of sunburn: Sunburn can be painful and uncomfortable, and wearing sunscreen can help to prevent it. This is especially important for people with fair skin, who are more prone to sunburn.

Favorite Formulas

Below, you’ll find my favorite formulas from Fenty Beauty and some of the top-rated shades within each formula. It should come as no surprise that the Cheeks Out Cream Blushes top my list–really a category that I’ve been waiting for a brand to fill with something fantastic, and Fenty did it!

I also keep a few of Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighters (duos or singles) in my drawer of go-tos. Afternoon Snack/Mo’ Hunny and Wattabratt are two I’ll use for something quick ‘n’ easy for review photos, and they’ve been in my vanity drawer since they launched (you can read more about them in my Must-Haves from 2020).

I’ve repurchased the original Fenty Gloss Bomb a few times at this point, and it’s been a favorite for awhile (see Must-Haves That Stayed Favorites from 2018!). I keep one in my bag as well as in my vanity for easy, on-the-go application that’s shiny, comfortable, and has a bit of dimension (but goes with any look).

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain

The formula is supposed to have a glossy finish that leaves a “soft tint” behind while being hydrating, feather-resistant, and offers “sheer-to-medium coverage.” It has a a thinner, more watery texture initially, which developed to something smoother and plusher without being too tacky. This helped the product stay in place and be bleed/feather-resistant while having longer-wear, but it was still comfortable to wear. Read more…

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush

The formula is supposed to give a “fresh wash of color” that is “effortless” to blend with a “natural-looking” finish. The coverage is designed to be “sheer, buildable” with a “sweat- and water-resistant formula.” The brand recommends to apply with fingertips or their 125 brush (which is a fairly dense, angled brush).

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r Instant Warmth Bronzer

The formula is supposed to have “long-wear” that is “transfer-resistant,” “easy to blend, and “light-as-air” with buildable coverage that “is hard to overdo.” The pigmentation was more medium to semi-opaque with some shades being nearly opaque in a single layer. For truly buildable pigmentation, I would recommend using a light hand initially or a less-dense brush to pick up and to apply the product. Read more…

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick

The formula is supposed to have “sheer” coverage that is “ultra comfortable” that “lock[s] in moisture.” It’s designed to be something you can apply without a mirror (which just really make it clear that it is a sheerer product), but it does say “buildable” with multiple layers. The consistency was moderately dense in the tube but melted subtly as I applied it to my lips, and it felt more emollient after a few seconds of wear. They felt lightweight without being tacky, and it had more of a light-medium level of slip, so it didn’t seem to slide around a lot during wear. It definitely has a balmy feel on the lips but has some staying power (but less than say, an opaque, satin lipstick). Read more…

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer

The formula is supposed to have a “peach-vanilla” scent (I’d agree–sweet, lightly fruity) and be “conditioning.” It was designed to be worn alone or layered over other lip products. The consistency was very smooth, light-to-medium in weight, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. It had a plusher consistency that helped it stay out of most of my lip lines. The shimmer was moderate but noticeable, and it distributed evenly across the lips. They last about three hours on my lips but are hydrating.
