Memorial Day is one of our favorite holidays of the entire year — it’s the unofficial start to summer. With Memorial Day weekend upon us, we’re as happy as ever to partake in all the celebrations, including shopping for the best beauty deals that retailers have to offer.
Memorial Day sales pop up across nearly every category of beauty products, summer clothes, wellness gifts, and everyday shoes like cute sandals. So many top brands and retailers are offering serious markdowns that began as early as the beginning of May. The biggest sales traditionally happen during the week leading up to Memorial Day, extend through the restful weekend, and end on Tuesday when we’re back all to work — so now’s the time to shop.
We’re seeing stellar sales and price drops across the best beauty product destinations, including SkinStore, Dermstore, and Violet Grey. Our favorite brands like Kate Somerville, La Roche-Posay, and Kosas are also offering limited time deals, on top of free shipping and special gifts with purchase. Nordstrom was early to the party this year; the retailer has already slashed prices of thousands of beauty products (up to 72 percent off!), from brands including Mac Cosmetics, NuFace, Bobbi Brown, Aveda, Tula Skincare, and more.
Keep reading to view our roundup of all the best Memorial Day beauty sales this year, and the top deals to shop today.
Sign up for WWD Shop’s newsletter to get the scoop on the best in beauty and style with in-depth reviews of exciting new releases and buyer’s guides to find the products you need to try ASAP.

When Do Memorial Day Sales Start?
Although Memorial Day traditionally falls on a Monday, many of the sales start much earlier this year. Unbeatable beauty markdowns on makeup gift sets, skin care essentials, hair care products, and hair styling tools all kicked off in early May. They’re extending into the long holiday weekend and through the end of the month, so you can get your beauty routine prepped for summer festivities and exciting travel plans. You can score major deals on top-rated beauty essentials, such as face sunscreens, tinted moisturizers, polishing body scrubs, electric shavers, and innovative facial tools.
Are Memorial Day Beauty Sales the Best Time to Buy Beauty Products/Are Memorial Day Sales Worth It?
There’s no better time to grab marked down beauty products for summer than Memorial Day. You can shop all-in-one beauty kits from retailers like Kosas and Nordstrom that are super convenient to pack in your suitcase, or discover markdowns on full-size prestige products you’ve had your eye on. Whether you’re in the market for dewy foundations, foundations for oily skin, foundations for acne-prone skin, or concealers for acne, there are so many sales across beauty retailers to shop sun-ready complexion products. It’s also the perfect time to stock up on essential SPF products, including tinted sunscreens and sunscreens for acne-prone skin. There’s also deals on hydrating and repairing skincare sets, innovative facial tools, and lightweight fragrances to refresh your routine.
What Type of Beauty Products Are on Sale?
In a word: everything. And truly, there is no better time than right now for a summertime overhaul. Whether you’re tossing your winter mascara for a humidity-friendly waterproof option, adding bronzer to your routine, swapping your heavy serum for a lightweight formula, or hunting for the best facial sunscreen or tinted moisturizers with SPF, you’ll be able to find the best of the very best — and at a price that will knock your socks off.
Violet Grey is offering amazing deals from summer-ready products like Supergoop! sunscreen, Dr. Barbara Sturm skincare, and viral Charlotte Tilbury highlighting cheek wands. You can shop more markdowns at Dermstore’s summer sale to stock up on skincare from SkinMedica and Augustinus Bader, or hair care brand favorites like Olaplex. Skinstore’s got you covered on top-rated NuFace face tools, nourishing Revitalash serums, cult-favorite First Aid Beauty products, and many more rare price drops.
Since Sephora’s annual beauty sale just passed in April, you may be wondering, “Does Sephora have Memorial Day sales?” Traditionally, the beauty destination offers sales starting at the beginning of the weekend on May 27 that last the May 30, with prices reduced up to 50% off. And unlike their other sales, it’s totally uncomplicated, just go to their sale section and shop away.
Better hustle, these products are sure to sell out faster than you can say “PTO!”
