We Scout Beauty Products for a Living—These Are the Best Black Friday Deals

As someone who worked in retail for the majority of my time in high school and college, I feel as though Black Friday is still a bit of a trigger for me. (Copious caramel macchiatos, Thanksgiving-night shifts that extended to the wee hours of Friday morning, and sale-crazed customers will do that to you.) Suffice to say, when possible, I prefer to get my savings on from the comfort and safety of my laptop versus venturing to my nearest mall. And just like my fellow beauty editors, Shawna and Katie, I prefer to start scouting for the most epic deals ahead of time.

Since we're people who shop for, write about, and test beauty products for our livelihood, we put together a list of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday snags we have our sights set on this year. Keep scrolling for the complete list.

Beauty Director

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
