If you're a beauty lover, dilly-dallying through aisles of Sephora and Ulta and basking in the glow of the brand-new, shiny products is probably a serious guilty pleasure of yours. Unfortunately, it’s unrealistic to spend all of your precious, hard-earned pennies on your favorite luxury brands. Luckily for us, great discounts on makeup exist, and they can give your wallet a much-needed break.
Where can you find these makeup deals, you ask? Well, we’ve done some digging and—with the help of celebrity makeup artist Renée Loiz—we've found the best makeup discount websites. These websites offer dupes and discounts on all your favorite beauty products. And the best part? You can shop from the comfort of your own home and rack up less spending guilt. It's an all-around win.
Below, check out the best discount makeup sites to score some seriously great beauty bargains.
Meet the Expert
Renée Loiz is a celebrity makeup artist and founder of Color May Vary, a black-owned beauty guide.
Glambot
Glambot is great for makeup collectors who want to buy or sell gently used products. It’s perfect for those who want to try new trends or products but aren’t willing to spend the full price for high-end makeup (take Cover FX's Natural Finish Oil Free Foundation, $7, for example). If you want to sell your assortment of goodies, the site will send you a free shipping label and then review your products. If the site approves, it will offer you cash or store credit.
Byrdie Tip
Even though the site analyzes each product before placing it online, it is important to thoroughly check the product images and information prior to purchasing it.
Makeup Mania
The founder of MakeupMania, movie makeup artist Eva Marie Denst, noticed the brands she loved to use on film sets were nearly impossible to find outside of LA and NYC. That’s when she decided to launch a website with all the products she adored and used for extremely cheap prices. There are no makeup discounts on this website, but the products themselves are reasonably priced and great quality. Need a new blush? Try La Femme Cosmetics' Blush on Rouge ($10).
Beauty Encounter
This site seriously has it all—from your favorite trusty drugstore tools to the lusted-after, high-end makeup brands. Not to mention, the discounts are definitely noteworthy. You've probably stumbled upon it in your Google search for your favorite beauty buys. Plus, when you join their mailing list, you get 10 percent off your first order—AKA the perfect excuse to add a few more of your must-try products to your shopping cart. It's all about balance, right?
Gilt
Gilt is the place to go for impressive brands at a discounted price. While it requires a quick sign-up, making an account isn't a hassle, especially if you're looking for discounted brands that won't leave you with the post-shopping blues. This site has it all—from fancy face masks to 11-piece brush sets. Like the eyeshadow palette above, the site is packed with great deals. Excuse us while we go buy everything.
Rue La La
This site has ever-changing, fantastic deals on a wide variety of makeup products. All you have to do is enter your email, and voilà: You have access to some incredible discounts (we recommend grabbing Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup, $24). And when you sign up, you get 30 days of free shipping, so if you forget to add something to your cart—or simply find another product you need to try—you can place as many orders as you'd like for the first month.
Byrdie Tip
"While the collection from the brand might be off-season, you can really use the makeup year-round and in every season. In the end, it’s worth getting that lipstick from Tom Ford if it will save you some money," says Loiz.
Buy Me Beauty
We've all been there: After falling in love with a makeup product that you can't live without, you head to the store to get a replacement—only to realize it's been discontinued. BuymeBeauty is your one-stop shop for discontinued, hard-to-find makeup, as well as your everyday favorites. It also has an incredible selection of products, with a flat rate of $5 for shipping. Go ahead and bookmark this page.
Saks OFF 5th
"I love Saks Off 5th for high-end beauty discounts—Tom Ford, Shiseido, and Bobbi Brown are a few of my fave brands you can find here for the low," says Loiz. "Plenty of designer brands perfect for gifting!"
Nordstrom Rack
Snagging a Dyson Airwrap (or Supersonic Hair Dryer [$240] or Airstrait [$300], for that matter) at any discount is unheard of. But at Nordstrom Rack's website, you can expect to find deals like this on the regular. From Charlotte Tilbury to MAC, Slip to Olaplex, you'll find all of your favorite brands here—in person and online.
Amazon
It should come as no surprise that the mega-retailer known for Prime Day hosts plenty of beauty discounts. Stock up on essentials like these makeup wipes, or check back daily for too good to pass up deals on the latest releases from drugstore and luxury brands.
