I’m a Professional Shopper — Here Are the Best Early Black Friday Beauty Deals

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water ($8, originally $12)

The perfect cleansing water and makeup remover hybrid product exists, thanks to Garnier. This all-in-one cleanser is powered by micelle technology, which works like a magnet to gently cleanse and remove the toughest makeup, dirt, and excess oil. The finished product? Glowy skin.

Laneige Mini Lip Glowy Balm Gift Set ($18, originally $25)

Apart from stocking up on your favorite Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, you might as well grab the brand's highly-coveted (and editor-approved) Glowy Lip Balm. It comes in the brand's five bestselling flavors and two new spring flavors. The hydrating lip balm can revive even the driest lips instantly with ingredients like shea and murumuru butters. Read our editor's review of the Laneige Glowy Lip Balm for more details.

Editor Quote: "It's the perfect pick for dry, dehydrated lips in need of a little extra TLC." - Kelsey Garcia, lifestyle director

The Outset Lip Oasis Glossy Treatment ($21, originally $28)

Scarlett Johansson's entire beauty line is an editor favorite but this glossy treatment is a standout — and it's $7 off right now for Black Friday. With ingredients like squalane and lactic acid, it reduces wrinkles and adds hydration without stickiness or residue.

Differin Acne Treatment Gel ($24, originally $36)

This treatment gel clears and prevents acne thanks to its adapalene formulation. Through Rx-strength acne retinoid, the gel not only helps to remove acne, but also reduces the risk of the scarring and hyperpigmentation that comes with it. Of course, one of our editors tested it for a year and now has the most glass-like skin. You can read more about her experience in our Differin Acne Treatment Gel review.

Editor Quote: "I know you've probably heard beauty editors say it a million times, but: I rarely buy beauty products. However, there are a few rare occasions where I do whip out my credit card for a skin, body, hair, or makeup product. I gladly buy myself a refill of this Differin Gel every time I'm running low, which happens about every month and a half." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

Onekind Dream Cream Nighttime Moisturizer ($29, originally $42)

The award-winning night cream one of our editors uses every evening is over 30 percent off for Black Friday. Thanks to squalane and rosehip oil, Onekind's nighttime moisturizer hydrates and smooths skin while also reducing fine lines and helping to fade hyperpigmentation. It has hundreds of five-star reviews on Amazon alone.

PCA Skin Collagen Hydrator ($50, originally $63)

PCA skin is a worthy addition to your skincare regimen: the brand was founded by an esthetician and developed by a dermatologist. Their collagen hydrator is a fan favorite for nourishing, firming, and smoothing the skin and it's on sale for 20 percent off for Black Friday.

HigherDOSE Red Light Face Mask ($279, originally $349)

Any time I'm looking to decompress after (or before) a busy day, I reach for this LED mask from HigherDOSE. It not only works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as boost collagen in my skin, but it's also mood-boosting (seriously I feel peace almost instantly). It's the only LED mask I use, and the one you should be using too. You can read more about why I love it so much in our HigherDOSE Red Light Therapy Face Mask review.

Editor Quote: "Apart from its calming abilities, I love how much my skin glows after using this mask. While I have relatively clear skin, it is sensitive so there are moments when I notice a bit of redness, but I'd never found a product to conquer the issue before. After my first use, I noticed a significant difference in my complexion and texture, and my skin even felt more refreshed — as if I had just gotten a luxurious facial. It also helped to clear some stubborn marks that pimples had left behind, and I can tell the progress will only continue." — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

NYX Professional Makeup The Brow Glue ($7, originally $13)

Faking the look of laminated brows is easy with NYX Professional Makeup The Brow Glue. Simply brush the hair in your brows up with the tiny built-in spoolie, then comb them down. It'll lock in your desired look without making your brows feel stiff or leaving behind any white residue as some brow gels do. Read our editor's NYX Professional Makeup The Brow Glue review for more.

Editor Quote: "The first time I tried it, I knew within five seconds that I was going to like it. The product comes out a little 'tacky' and not watery, which made it easy to shape my brows and lift them into the perfect position. With other gels, I find they're typically more on the watery side, meaning I have to apply and then wait for them to get tacky before shaping. The NYX Brow Glue eliminates that extra step, which is great for anyone looking to shave off a few extra minutes of their beauty routine." — Renee Rodriguez, senior beauty staff writer and social producer

Sephora Collection Weightless False Eyelashes ($7, originally $16)

If you're looking for the perfect pair of lashes to take your eye look to the next level, these are it. They're lightweight, easy to apply, and flattering on every eye shape. Plus, they're more than 50 percent off right now.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Firework Washable Mascara ($12, originally $15)

Only Maybelline can create a mascara that can be worn for up to 24 hours. Its gel-based formula is infused with pro-vitamin B5 to nourish the lashes and even comes in three shades: Very, Brownish, and Blackest. It also comes with a custom brush that features different lengths of bristles to provide that 360-degree lash effect — leaving one editor with the most natural-looking faux lashes. You can read more about her experience in her Maybelline Lash Sensational Firework Washable Mascara review.

Editor Quote: "Normally, I do at least three coats before seeing satisfying results, and Maybelline's formula instantly elevated my lashes, giving me that natural faux-lash look. I was also pleased with its staying power after wearing it for seven hours (it didn't clump or get hard over time). And even though the mascara is waterproof, I didn't get those raccoon eyes when taking it off with my makeup wipes and cleanser at the end of the day." — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Lip Gloss Trio ($27, originally $39)

Looking for a lip gloss kit to gift this season? Grab this set of bestselling lip glosses from Anastasia Beverly Hills while it's on sale. The brand is a favorite for beauty novices and pros alike, and this set delivers high shine and a non-sticky formula in gorgeous, universally-flattering shades.

Too Faced Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette ($27, originally $54)

If you love neutral eye looks with a little sparkle, the Too Faced Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette is made to fuel your creativity. This palette is stackable with a built-in mirror and has ingredients like alpine rose to control oils and ensure smooth texture throughout wear. The shades are bold and neutral, yet pigmented enough to elevate any glam.

Kosas BB Burst Tinted Moisturizer Gel Cream with Copper Peptides ($29, originally $38)

The Kosas BB Burst Tinted Moisturizer Gel Cream is perfect for those who are looking for a moisturizer that provides sheer but buildable coverage, a soft "your skin but better" finish, and all the hydration of a good skin-care moment. Read our editor's Kosas BB Burst Tinted Moisturizer Gel Cream review for more.

Editor Quote: "I much prefer the packaging of this cream to the original tinted oil, as it feels much easier to control how much you dispense. As for the tinted moisturizer itself, the gel feels incredibly cool on the skin and the glow that it leaves behind makes it look as if I had just applied my favorite moisturizer." — Ariel Baker, former associate beauty editor

Charlotte Tillbury Airbrush Flawless Makeup Setting Spray ($32, originally $38)

Charlotte Tillbury's Airbrush Setting Spray is an award-winning product for a reason. Through powerful ingredients like film-former polymers and Japanese green tea, it helps set makeup for up to 16 hours without melting, fading, or creasing. Not to mention, it leaves you with that picture-perfect, blur finish.

Uklash Eyebrow Serum ($35, originally $49)

While we love a good eyebrow gel, there's nothing better for your brows than a serum that actually helps it grow. Uklash's serum is made with vitamin B5 and green tea extract to stimulate keratin production, producing visibly thicker brows in just 25 days.

AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion ($11, originally $25)

This fragrance- and paraben-free body lotion contains 12 percent lactic acid and an alpha-hydroxy acid that works to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin. The AHA also helps diminish body acne and ingrown hairs, which one editor details in her AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion review.

Editor Quote: "Whenever my friends ask how I'm able to get buttery-soft skin or how my bikini line looks smooth, I pretty much credit it to consistently using AmLactin's Daily lotion. It's my go-to for diminishing body acne, KP, and ingrown hairs, and it also helps with evening out my skin tone, whether it's from dark spots, friction-induced hyperpigmentation, or even awkward-looking tans. My "strawberry skin" is practically gone; I even noticed that my underarms are lighter and more even-toned, as well." — Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor

Crest 3D Whitestrips Age Renew ($35, originally $50)

These 3D whitening strips from Crest have been a customer favorite for years, and for good reason. They contain hydrogen peroxide that achieves 25 levels of whiter teeth, providing results similar to a $400 professional treatment. One of our editors even used it on the journey to her wedding, and her teeth have never been whiter. Read more in our Crest 3D Whitening Strips review.

Editor Quote: "What truly impresses me about Crest 3D Whitestrips is how effective they are. Even though it had been well over a decade since I last used them, I couldn't resist trying them again and added them to my virtual Amazon shopping cart. The box boldly claimed they could 'remove over 30 years of stains in three days,' which initially made me a bit skeptical. However, the results speak for themselves." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor

Glamnetic Premium Press-On Nail Kit ($14, originally $20)

If you love a flawless manicure but hate spending hours at the salon, this press-on nail kit is about to be your new best friend. It looks professionally done, lasts for days, and takes just minutes to apply.

Wavytalk Thermal Brush ($45, originally $60)

Wavytalk's TikTok-viral hair tool is over $15 off for Black Friday, so now's the perfect time to invest. A curling iron and brush in one, it reduces frizz and enhances shine while styling your hair to perfection. And it's so popular that 2 units are sold every minute. One editor tried it and was so impressed she cancelled her Drybar membership, as she detailed in her Wavytalk Thermal Brush review.

Editor Quote: "With the Wavytalk Thermal Brush, though, I'm able to mimic professional results without risking arm cramps (the brush is lighter than a standard blow dryer) or prolonged heat exposure. I also appreciate that the very tip of the brush remains cool to the touch, which allows me to get a firm grip on the hair while pulling it down. Finally, the heated brush is effortless to use: Even on my 2c hair, I only have to do one to two passes per section to achieve smooth results, which ends up being less heat exposure on my hair overall and a significantly shorter styling process." — Michelle Rostamian, PS contributor

Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System ($200, originally $349)

The Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System does it all, whether it's a voluminous blowout, beachy waves and curls, or sleek, straight styles. Beyond the attachments, we love the convenience of the flexible wand. Its ergonomic design helps us blow dry and style comfortably without feeling wrist or hand pain. It has three speed settings, three heat settings, and a cool shot. Plus, it's so slim that it's great for traveling. We recommend this to those who want a tool that can replace most other tools, and prefer a streamlined routine. See why our editor loves this model in her review of the Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System.

Attachments: Two auto-wrap curlers, a curl-defining diffuser, a round brush attachment, a paddle brush, and a concentrator.

Editor Quote: "The Shark FlexStyle transforms from a blow dryer into a hair styler. This is something I personally love because I like to get my hair almost completely dry before I style it. It has a button that allows it to rotate from its blow dryer shape back into a styling wand, and from there you can use one of its attachments to get your desired result. It's truly an all-in-one hair tool that can be used for any occasion, and you can even personalize it by choosing three attachments that you believe you'd use most." — Haley Lyndes, shopping staff writer
