I know it feels early to gear up for Black Friday and Cyber Week, but with last year smashing records for online shopping in the UK, planning is imperative – particularly when it comes to the best Black Friday beauty deals.

Whenever I run out of a product, or realise I need to do a Boots run, I always sigh. It's one of my least favourite hauls to do – and I always end up with a huge dent in my bank account.

But Black Friday means you can top up your go-to everyday products for a fraction of the price – and get yourself the odd new one to try too. This approach also ensures I don’t come away from the sales with a plethora of products I don’t need or want.

To prevent you getting lost in all the Cyber Weekend madness, I’ve put together a beauty guide to Black Friday 2026.

When is Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday falls on the fourth Friday of every month, so this year it's on 27 November. But realistically, Black Friday deals start popping up towards the end of October, so you’ll need to start keeping an eye out for deals in the run-up. And don’t forget about Cyber Monday, which this year falls on 30 November.

What Black Friday beauty deals can you expect?

Last year we saw unmissable deals from nearly every major retailer. Victoria Beckham Beauty did its highest discount ever at 20 per centoff, Dyson offered up to £150 off its hair tools, and retailers like Cult Beauty and Lookfantastic offered up to 30 per cent off almost everything.

The perfect product to buy as we approach the colder months, LANEIGE’s lip sleeping mask in berry nourishes and softens dry lips. A personal favourite, you can apply it before bed for a hydrated pout come morning, or layer it over lipstick and lip liner throughout the day.

Their Airwrap has six-in-one versatility and Bluetooth, allowing you to create a hair profile by answering six questions about your hair type and length, for an automated style sequence tailored to you.

Not only will Prada’s Paradoxe Eau de Parfum look gorgeous on any dresser, but its feminine, floral ambery fragrance will earn you countless compliments. Light and crisp with notes of neroli, amber accords add warmth and long-lasting depth. With 20 per cent off, why not get ahead with Christmas gifting?

Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer

While summer is on the out, glowy bouncy skin is not disappearing this winter. I love to keep that healthy glow from within, using products like the Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer. The weightless liquid highlighter that delivers a soft, luminous finish. Its light-reflecting pearl particles enhance your face's high points for a fresh, lit-from-within glow.
