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.

ColourPop Cloud 9 Palette Swatches

ColourPop Cloud 9 Palette is a new, smoky/gray color story in a 12-pan format. The quality was as expected for ColourPop, though I’d say the shimmers felt a bit firmer and were more emollient while being on the thinner side, which is not my favorite texture from the brand as I find it doesn’t work as well with brushes. Here are swatches!

Holiday 2023 Palette Swatches (Guerlain, Tom Ford, Natasha Denona)

Here are swatches of three smaller-format holiday palettes from Guerlain, Tom Ford, and Natasha Denona, respectively. Guerlain and Natasha Denona’s formulas both felt comparable to past releases, while the Tom Ford quad felt drier, thinner, and was generally a miss.

Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Cheek Trios Swatches

There are three variations of the Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Cheek Trios with them basically being lighter-leaning, more medium-leaning, and deeper-leaning. Each trio includes a bronzer (all from the permanent range), blush (all new shades), and highlighter (all new shades). While the blushes are new shades, I felt like they covered similar territory as past releases, so you may find the trios redundant if you have a lot of Divine Blushes already. The quality felt slightly thinner/dustier compared to the permanent range, particularly with respect to the lightest highlighter.
Here are swatches!

Chanel Holiday 2023 Color Collection Swatches

Chanel Holiday 2023 Color Collection is a short ‘n’ sweet collection featuring a few lip products along with an eyeshadow palette and highlighter.
As it is taking me longer to push out full reviews, I’m going to try to offer some initial thoughts when I feel fairly confident about those impressions (e.g. I have experience with the formula/brand that it feels pretty routine!). In this case, the highlighter is lovely but one of the more glittery releases from the brand so those who do not like larger particles should skip. The eyeshadow palette seems decent enough but not the best texture (slightly drier/frostier) that I’ve seen from Chanel.
Here are swatches of the products I purchased!

Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Eye & Cheek Palette Swatches

There are two versions of the Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Eye & Cheek Palette that were released this season. Each palette contains two blushess and nine eyeshadows. Each of these palettes includes one new blush and one blush from the permanent range. The texture of the mattes felt slightly thinner, and they did not seem to be pigmented as the mattes found in the Mothership palettes. The shimmers were more comparable to past releases. Note, the formula in these larger palettes does differ in texture from the five-pan palettes.
