Huda Beauty's Black Friday deals are acc unreal – hi, up to 80% off!!
Register for our Black Friday TikTok Live on 26th November for early discounts
Without a doubt, Black Friday is the best time of year to score some epic makeup deals. I've been a beauty writer and professional shopper (yes, that's a real thing) for years and I always ask myself the same question: 'When did makeup get so darn expensive?'
Srsly, add up the contents of your makeup bag RN and I bet you the price is way higher than you'd expect! So IMO, Black Friday is the best time to stock up on the beauty products you love at a considerably smaller amount or to get ahead with your X-mas gifting for the makeup lover in your life.

Best Black Friday makeup deals shop (and expect)
If 2023 taught me anything, it's that makeup brands don't mess around when it comes to Black Friday. While some brands are yet to drop their offish Black Friday deals (we're not at the big weekend yet, folks) others have announced early Black Friday discounts which, I have to say, are some of the best we've seen.
E-tailers like LookFantastic offer a blanket, site-wide discount, as well as special deals on certain brands. Companies like REFY and Merit also offer discounts and from previous years I've seen these to be anywhere from 20-25% off. I'll be updating the page as and when the deals drop, so keep your peepers pealed.

Huda Beauty
If you know Huda Kattan, you'll know that her eponymous brand, Huda Beauty, is all about creating an unreal makeup base. While there are so many products that I love from the range (have you seen the new petri dish-inspired lip glosses?!), the brand's foundations are my forever favourite.
The #FauxFilter foundation stick has been a best-seller for years, but I'm currently obsessed with the new Easy Blur foundation for a flawless and satin-matte finish. And with the brand's Cyber Craze Black Friday sale officially here, you can stock up your fave products 'till 2026 with up to 80% off.
LookFantastic
LookFantastic is my go-to beauty e-tailer when I'm in desperate need of makeup top ups as its line-up of brands is pretty huge. Oh, and as for Black Friday, the deals have already started with a huge bang.
Called the 'warm up' event to Black Friday, RN LookFantastic is offering up to 50% off selected brands, like Olaplex, Benefit and The Ordinary. Plus, you can get an extra 10% off if you download the app. BRB.
Sephora
We’re in the 21st century babe, there’s no need to queue for hours outside an IRL Sephora store as the Black Friday sale will hit the online shelves too! For us Brits, this is the third Black Friday sale the brand has put on since it crossed the pond and already, we're in for a treat with an up to 25% off pre-Black Friday sale.
Why shop Sephora’s Black Friday sale? Stans will know it’s home to some exclusive brands you can’t get your mitts on elsewhere. Starting with the in-house Sephora label (obvs) as well as names like ONE/SIZE, Makeup by Mario and Haus Labs.
Beauty Bay
I always check out Beauty Bay's Black Friday offering as, in previous years, it has been one of the best when it comes to online beauty retailers. Right now, the brand is offering up to 40% off our fave brands and they're only expected to get bigger as the month goes on (and, yes, this includes the iconic Made by Mitchell Curve Case).
As for the makeup brands available to shop, Beauty Bay is home to names that are hard to find elsewhere, like Pink Honey.
Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte Tilbury knows how to do a good Black Friday sale, and we're already off to a great start. RN, the brand is offering a two-for-one discount on its best-selling heroes, from the Beauty Light Wands to the Luxury Palettes. To emphasise how great that deal is, that's two palettes which would usually cost £92, for only £42.
And that's not all! Charlotte Tilbs has made its sale even bigger by offering up to 40% off beauty gift sets – and these bundles are where you can save the most £££.
REFY
When REFY launched in 2020, it debuted with a petite collection of products – featuring the Brow Pencil, Brown Pomade and Brow Sculpt that everyone was buying to re-create Jess’ Insta-famous fluffy brow.
Four years on and the brand now has 40 + products in its line-up and earlier this year REFY introduced a fashion and lifestyle collection with a limited edit of bespoke garments and household items (still drooling over that metal cup and saucer – if you saw!).
As for the products... where do I begin? If you’re using the Black Friday sale to grab anything, let it be the new Lip Blur Liners. They’re the creamiest, most pigmented pencils that plump up your lips x10. Or if complexion cosmetics are what you’re after, stock up on the Cream Bronzer ‘till 2026.
Merit Beauty
I see Merit as the makeup brand for the fashion girlies – and I’ve got everything crossed that the brand participates in Black Friday this year. Announcing new launches in line with Fashion Week – not to mention some stunning collabs with luxury brands like Tove – Merit is the kind of brand where each product is considered and hella chic.
A few favourites I’m hoping to see in the Black Friday sale? The brand’s first foray into fragrance is at the top of my list. After 200 attempts, Merit finalised on this comforting, slightly sexy, and easy-going aroma that’s perfect for every day. And on the cosmetic side, I’m stockpiling the Flush Blushes. These lil pocket pigments are stupidly good.
Glossier
Not many brands have as many globally recognised products as Glossier. Boy Brow... hello! Balm Dot Com... how you doing? You... nice to have you here.
There are so many hero products to its name but the brand continues to innovate, bringing us new launches to swoon over (read: see our Beauty Director’s review on the new fragrance launches).
Last year, the brand offered a 25% off Black Friday sale which rose to 30% off when you spent £100 + which, tbf, is kinda easy with Glossier. We’re hoping for the same love this year, if not better!
Sculpted by Aimee
I'm sure many beauty eds will agree that Sculpted by Aimee is one of the best makeup brands going. It simply ticks every box from price point to packaging and, of course, formulas.
If you're yet to discover the brand, there is so much that the Cosmo team would recommend, but if you're going to use Black Friday to invest in anything, let it be one of the complexion products. Whether it's the lightweight HydraTint or the full-coverage Satin Silk Longwear Foundation, each formula is easy to wear, long lasting and affordable too.
We're yet to find out what the brand's Black Friday deals are, but I'll drop all the deets as soon as they're revealed. I have a suspicion they'll be something special.
Cult Beauty
The beauty directory at Cult Beauty is stellar, with so many brands to shop. But when it comes to the makeup department, I certainly have some faves. Saie is at the top of my list (you can read my personal love letter here) for radiant, everyday makeup, while I’ll always use Black Friday to stock up on my ‘special occasion’ makeup, from brands like NARS and Hourglass.
Cult Beauty is usually very generous with its Black Friday discounts – last year it offered up to 25% off big-name brands – so we should be in for a treat in 2024.
Vieve
If you haven't already got a Vieve wish list, Black Friday is your time to make one. Not only is it one of my fave glow-giving makeup brands, but it's a winner across the whole Cosmo beauty team – plus the millions of TikTok views and countless viral products (erm, hi Skin Nova) goes to show how phenomenally popular this brand is.
If you're new to Vieve and wanna use this time to score a product for less – as I'm hoping to see a BF deal or two – I'd 100% suggest scoring the Skin Nova Primer. Doing exactly what it says on the bottle, it adds a radiant sheen to your complexion making a beautiful base to apply makeup to.
Fenty Beauty
If you've been 👀-ing up the Fenty Pro Filt'r Foundation or the ridiculously popular Gloss Bomb but don't fancy dropping full-price cash, Black Friday is approaching so here's your opportunity to bag the best for less.
Last year, Fenty offered a 25% off site-wide sale so I can only hope for even better in 2024. And while I always think of makeup whenever Fenty Beauty comes to mind, know that the brand also has some stellar skincare and body care products to check out too. There's a reason it's one of the most successful celeb-founded beauty brands. Take a bow, Riri.
Saie Beauty
Have a peep inside every beauty editor's makeup bag and I bet you'll find something from Saie Beauty (it's pronounced 'say', BTW). Not only has it got the looks, but the formulas are easy to use and they're infused with skin-kind ingredients.
There are so many products from its range that I love, but if I'm using Black Friday to score anything, it's the Dew Bronze bronzers. These little tubes contain a lightweight formula that blends to create a radiant and warm complexion. You can find Saie on Cult Beauty, so be sure to check out its deals this Black Friday.
What is Black Friday?
Um, hi? How is that rock you're living under? Seriously, if you don't know what Black Friday is, let me fill you in. The shopping extravaganza started in America, with brands offering major sales as a way to carry on the Thanksgiving festivities. It wasn't long until the event made its way across the pond and now every year major retailers take part in Black Friday and we part ways with a hefty dose of cash in return.
When is Black Friday 2024?
When it comes to shopping, Black Friday is always the busiest time of year. It falls on the last Friday of November, making this year Friday 29 November and the sales tend to run until Cyber Monday, Monday 2 December 2024.
What makeup deals were in last year's Black Friday sale?
There is a lot going on when it comes to Black Friday makeup deals, and it seems each year the offerings get better and better. While we wait patiently to see what's in-store for 2024, let me remind you of how great last year's makeup deals were to give you a taster of what Black Friday is all about.In 2023, I loaded up my cart with Space NK deals of up to 25% off, a new Glossier Boy Brow with 20% off, a Merit Flush Balm with 20% off and a couple of top-ups from Cult Beauty's site-wide 25% off sale.
