If you have the chance to shop for beauty products in person, take it. You can feel the weight of a well-crafted makeup brush or check firsthand if that cult-favorite sunscreen has any hint of a white cast.
But let’s face it: For many people, in-person shopping isn’t convenient, enjoyable, or even feasible—especially amid the spectacle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That’s where Wirecutter’s journalists come in.
We’ve curated a selection of beauty products that we’ve personally vetted, tackling questions best answered through rigorous testing on a range of skin types, tones, and concerns.
The result: a collection of beauty picks we’re proud to recommend. And now, some of those favorites are on sale.
Thanks to the Wirecutter Deals team, you can be sure that these discounts are the real deal—not the result of price hikes and showy markdowns (which, let’s be honest, are far too common). And you’ll be sure that you’re getting the real thing, too, since we also confirm that the sellers we’re featuring are reliable retailers.
So this year, skip the impulse buys and chaotic store lines, and shop for beauty products that live up to their promises.
