I Uncovered the 11 Best Makeup Deals at the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

This eyeliner is fantastic for creating an eye look that lasts. Not only will this formula not smudge or flake once it’s set, but this set comes with a black and brown shade to mix and mingle as you desire.

Review: "Over the years, as I've aged, I've tried many other higher-end liners (YSL, Laura Mercier, Dior, and Chanel), but I always end up coming back to Clinique Quickliner. The first time I purchased this eyeliner was over 15 years ago, and I remember thinking how much I liked the way it smoothed on without me having to tug or pull on my lid...and it's still the same. I also love that it stays in place all day, with no transfer. I would definitely recommend this eyeliner to anybody looking for a cost-effective, professional-looking liner!"

These shadow sticks from Bobbi Brown are so easy to use; literally anyone can master them. This set features three colors in the shades Taupe, Golden Bronze, and Blushing Peach, all of which are extremely wearable across all skin tones.

Review: "I absolutely love these shadow sticks! The taupe is a great base under other colors or on its own, and the shimmers wear all day beautifully and have the best shine without being too sparkly. Gives a dewy look and a quick makeup look if you use 1, 2, or all 3! Have received tons of compliments with these shades."

For a classic lip product that you can use every day, this Necessaire set is fantastic. You’ll get two of the brand’s nourishing balms (simply called The Lip Balm), which are packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides for long-lasting moisture throughout the day.

Review: "The best lip balm I’ve tried in a while. It’s not sticky at all but has a thick consistency to keep your lips moisturized longer compared to lip balms with a thinner consistency throughout the day. Bought two more immediately after trying the first one I bought for a month. Also, the metal applicator gives a cooling sensation to the lips whenever I reapply another coat of balm. Overall, I give this product a 5-star review based on my own experience."

Make Up For Ever makes some of the best lip glosses and no one talks about them. The clear shade featured in this set is perfect for everyday use (but isn't super tacky like some other formulas) and the shine is next level. Paired with the lip liner shades? It's a perfect on-the-go nude lip that will make you feel put together in seconds.

Review: "These pencils are creamy and the color is long-lasting. Perfect complement to my lips and no bleeding into fine lines."

I remembered how much I used to love the Clinique Chubby Sticks after the brand re-released its iconic formula earlier this year. Since then, I’ve become slightly obsessed with the shade Super Strawberry, which is featured in this set, alongside the color Fuller Fig. The sheer pink and brown hues are perfect for everyday wear, and they will both be added to my work makeup kit expeditiously.

Review: "This lip crayon is so great! It goes on smooth and creamy with the perfect amount of color payoff! The crayon tip makes application so effortless! It looks great on its own for a nice everyday look and dresses up so well with a liner! It is the perfect lip product! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an easy and beautiful lip product!"

This YSL set is the equivalent of two hot best friends on a fun night out. Not only is the packaging of both the lip oil stick and blush gorgeous, but the shade Nude Lavallière is the perfect neutral pink. This duo is half the products needed for an easy, monochromatic makeup look, which, for me, is a huge green flag for creating easy, everyday makeup.

Review: "Gorgeous formula, color, perfect for every day, whether I’m rushing and can only use one blush, or I’m enjoying a get-ready session and layering with different blushes. This is always in my daily roster."

The Night Nude collection from M.A.C. perfectly captures my preferred makeup aesthetic. There’s a Powder Kiss Lip + Cheek Mousse in the color Taken, a warm light-brown shade that pairs easily with the eyeshadow Brown Script, which you can use on your eyes or pair with the mousse on your cheeks. Tack on the MACStack mascara and the Colour Excess eyeliner, both in black, and you have a sultry but easily wearable look in just a few minutes with a handful of products.

Review: "MAC is one of my primary makeup brands, especially the eye shadows. What's great about them is they do not wear off as quickly as other brands. Plus, the colors are great and specific."

When I saw that this Westman Atelier duo was included in the promotion, I said out loud: “This is a damn good deal.” For 35 dollars, you get miniature sizes of the Baby Cheeks Blush Stick and the Lit Up Highlighter Stick in the shades Petal and Nectar, respectively. Not only are those shades super wearable, but don’t let the small sizes fool you. These products will last you months with regular use.

Review: "I was introduced to this brand in February of this year. Had a makeup session with Imelda (February) and with Maria recently. I loved the feeling of having this makeup on; it's easy to apply, and best of all is that it doesn't feel so heavy on my face. I’m not a makeup person, but after trying Westman Atelier, I will switch to it now. Worth every penny."

I will say it until I’m blue in the face: Hourglass Cosmetics has cracked the code for perfect powders. Not only are the ambient lighting powders otherworldly, but the loose powder is legitimately perfect. It’s light as air and mattifies the skin without leaving it flat; that's the key for preventing dry, cakey-looking makeup from settling into any fine lines. Plus, this little set comes with the brand’s famous dual-ended blush, which has also been a longtime favorite in my tool rotation.

Review: "I usually don’t use setting powder, but this was recommended by a makeup artist, and it didn’t disappoint. I’m in my 60s, and only setting powder that didn’t fall into fine lines. I’m hooked!"

Every makeup routine needs a bottle of Fix Plus on standby at all times. With this set, you get the original formula that refreshes your makeup, plus the longwear version the brand claims will keep your makeup in place for over 12 hours.

Review: "I will never use another brand. No other finishing spray sets my face like this one! 10/10."

Tom Ford's lip products are divine, and this duo features one of my favorite shades from the brand, Sable Smoke. Not only do you get two fantastic wearable neutral shades in this set, but they're both full sizes, too. A fantastic bang for your buck if you ask me.

Review: "This is my first time using this brand, and it’s absolutely amazing. The lipstick glides on, gives moisture, and the color is fabulous. I’ve been looking for a color like this for a long time. Perfect for the fall. I usually don’t pay that kind of price for lipstick, but I tried it at the store, and I had to get it. I think it was worth it."
