My approach to determining my personal best Black Friday beauty deals went like this: I looked through my beauty closet, which rivals my closet, and took inventory of the products I use on a daily or weekly basis that I restock must or that I have recommended to someone (because the devices I use do not need to be purchased twice).

Hours later, I mentally shortened the list even further. Now I present to you the 25 best Black Friday deals and products for skin care, makeup, hair care and body care.

Overall, the editors’ favorite Black Friday beauty deals

Westman Atelier Concealer Vital Skincare Concealer

Creed

I don’t want to fall in love with a single Westman Atelier product to seem less biased, but I can’t – the brand is all hits, not misses. This is the cream concealer version of the brand’s hero product, a foundation concealer stick used by Jennifer Garner. It blends easily (with my fingers even) and to sum up the effect: I wish my skin looked like this. It is long-lasting, not easily transferable and naturally covers blemishes, imperfections and discoloration.

As you read on, you’ll be introduced to skincare products that I use daily, like Cosrx’s underrated blackhead remover toner and Tower 28’s aptly named SOS hypochlorous acid spray. I’ll also tell you the hair care products that keep my locks looking enviable and intact Even though I bleached them for a year – especially Roz’s hair oil. Finally, let’s take a look at my makeup routine, where Haus Labs and Glossier shine.

Despite being just a few months under 30, I still suffer from hormonal fluctuations in my skin, genetic hyperpigmentation, and general tantrums. To keep it (mostly) at bay, I rely on a mix of high-quality and inexpensive products—I’m obsessed with the $17 Cosrx toner and the Medicube device that now costs $150.

Naturium The Phyto-Glow Lip Mask Pack

Naturium

I have so many ointments, balms, and oils on my nightstand and in every pocket and purse that I never use any of them up. However, Naturium’s lip mask is an exception, which is why I buy this two-pack at a double discount. The thick balm is emollient And occlusive – it stays on my lips throughout my entire eight (or twelve) hour sleep and well into the morning.

Medicube Age-R Booster Pro 6-in-1 skin care device

Amazon

You (i.e. a lot of devices) expect me to do my normal skincare routine and then apply a conductive gel, do a two to five minute treatment and then remove the gel? And that is fair one Device. Luckily, Medicube has the solution to my laziness. This tool actually does everything; It features microcurrent, LED therapy, and microneedle-like modalities, to name a few.

What I like best about it is that it is seamless. I can easily use it with a serum I’ve already applied, rather than having to temporarily switch to a product-specific product. Oh, and it’s marked down to $150 from its usual price of $228. (Casual.)

StriVectin Peptight 360 Firming Eye Serum

StriVectin

The severity of my hereditary dark circles is so great that I need an eye cream every day that not only has a long-term effect but also has an immediate brightening effect. Packed with peptides and made with a luxurious metal applicator – this leaves me looking radiant on even the most epidermally dreary days.

Taking care of my curls has always been a top priority for me – I won’t settle for straight hair. This has become more difficult due to the whitening mentioned above, as a result of which I switched to products such as the famous No. 6 Treatment from Olaplex and the hair oil from the indie brand Rōz.

Personal hygiene is just as important to me. My routine can be extensive, but I’ve focused on needs, like First Aid Beauty’s oil and Aestura’s multi-purpose soothing cream.

Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Hair Treatment

Amazon

What I found after bleaching is that Olaplex really lives up to the hype. I regularly treat my hair with this treatment used by Julianne Moore and Margot Robbie. I leave it on for as long as possible, at least 10 hours. It quickly restored moisture, flexibility and hold to my strands when they were brittle and straw-like.

Rōz Willow Glen Treatment Hair Oil

Creed

Dozens of hair oils later, I keep coming back to this one. I’m nearing the end of my bottle and will be purchasing it again now that it’s rarely on sale anymore. It’s thin but moisturizing and doesn’t weigh down my hair or feel sticky. If I don’t use it for a week, my hair notices and rebels against me.

First Aid Beauty After-Shower Nourishing Body Oil

Amazon

When I’m done showering, I lightly pat it and then apply this body oil. It’s suitable for sensitive skin, so it doesn’t irritate and even soothes my skin after exfoliating or shaving. I’m not out yet still but I want a second bottle for my bedside table.

It wasn’t always fashionable to care about or wear makeup. (The no-makeup makeup aesthetic? I don’t know about it.) But I’ve never given in to that peer pressure and the products I’ve chosen are incredibly vetted. The prime examples? Glossier’s surprisingly groundbreaking lip liner and Rituel de Fille’s light-catching highlighter.

Lipstick to improve lip contours

Sephora

This lipstick is creamy and precise and the eight shades are neutral, natural and suitable for everyday use. However, what really sets it apart is its moisture and hydration. At worst, lip liners are dry and difficult to apply; at best, they are smooth but not hydrating. Glossier’s is as hydrating as a satin lipstick. Plus it has a surprisingly intense and lasting power.

Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech moisturizing and decongesting concealer

House Labs by Lady Gaga

I have so many Haus Labs things to restock right now, but my priority is concealer. It’s not noticeable on my natural skin and it’s so pigmented may Replace foundation. (Maybe I’ll also top up my Triclone foundation…)

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer

Amazon

Even at its best, my skin is never glass-smooth, but you wouldn’t notice it when I wear this rightly hyped primer. Aside from the glass skin, it holds the makeup on my face like putty – my application lasts more than 10 hours.

I’m honestly impressed with my ability to sniff out these Black Friday beauty deals. Many come from brands like Dr. Dennis Gross, Strivectin and Glossier, which are not prone to discounts. There are also products that I always buy on sale because I’m always browsing them; Take the Dove deodorant pack and Tower 28 spray, for example. You can shop more of my favorites while they’re on sale below.
