Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Is Here—These 50 Beauty Deals Are The Best of The Best
My picks hail from editor-favorite brands like Shark, Phlur, Amika, Oribe, Currentbody, Nest New York, and more.
It's time to fill your shopping carts and to do it fast—Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days 2024 has officially arrived. Amazon Prime Day may not have been all that long ago, but Big Deal Days, which runs over October 8 and 9, is yet another chance to shop for gifts on Amazon and beauty staples ahead of the busy holiday season. So, I rounded up all of the best beauty deals on Amazon to shop during the sale.
If you're anything like me, you're using this massive sales event to restock your makeup bag and upgrade your beauty routine. Year-round necessities like sunscreens and moisturizers are always massively discounted. I also typically find a new hair tool (last year, it was a blow dryer I'd had my eye on forever) at a fraction of the cost. Sale highlights include the Shark FlexStyle (my favorite hair tool ever) for $50 off and CurrentBody's LED light therapy mask, which is also majorly discounted—for reference, it's one of Marie Claire's top-ranking picks.
There are thousands of beauty deals during October Prime Day, so trust me when I say it's a sale you don't want to miss. However, it can be overwhelming to peruse through Amazon's massive selection, so I've narrowed down the best Prime Day beauty deals. With only hours left of the sale, the countdown is on to save on your favorite beauty products so I've rechecked all of the deals—as of 6 p.m. EST on October 9, I can assure you this is our most updated list of the best beauty deals out there.
Oh—and If you want to refresh your closet with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days clothing deals, we've got you covered there, too. My finds include pairs of trendy on-sale sneakers, enough luxury loungewear to get you through the season, and more.

Best Beauty Tool Deals
Currentbody's LED face mask is one of the brightest you'll find on the market, so if you've wanted to try one out, this is a worthy investment made all the better during October Prime Day. With 132 powerful LED bulbs, it treats skin in just 10 minutes and you'll love how it contours around the face for a more comfortable fit.
Once you start washing your face with this brush, you'll wish you had it sooner. This small but mighty tool uses pulses and vibrations to deeply cleanse your skin of dirt, debris, oil, and dead skin cells. Skin is left feeling softer and gently exfoliated, and perfectly prepped to better absorb skincare products.
This handy tool is the closest thing you'll get to a facial at home. It works in just 10 seconds to deliver a warm, fine mist that not only feels good, but works wonders for opening up your pores. It even comes with extraction tools—just be sure to go in with a gentle hand.
Switching to at-home gel manicures has made a world of difference in my monthly budget and it's really not too hard to get the hang of it. The process all starts with a quality lamp and this one will do the trick. It works with both UV and LED gel nail polishes and cures in just 60 seconds.
Any makeup artist will tell you your makeup application is only as good as your brushes. This set from Real Techniques has everything you need for a pro-level look on a budget, including a range of complexion and eye makeup brushes.
I was skeptical about eyelash combs at first, but after trying one for myself, I love it. It makes every mascara I own look so much better—I simply comb through my lashes right after I apply for major definition.
Best Haircare Deals
This impressive set includes the editor-loved Shark FlexStyle and tools to dry and style. You can choose the on-sale set with the attachments that work best for your hair type—like this one, which features a diffuser for easy, defined curls.
Out of all of the hair glosses on the market, Dphue's Gloss+ is our number one choice thanks to its ease of use and ultra-shiny results. It makes your color looks fresh in as little as three minutes and you can rinse it out in the shower.
With hair that gets oily after about an hour of washing it (I wish I was kidding), I've tried my fair share of dry shampoos, and this Amika one is up there on my list of favorites. It doesn't leave behind white residue like other dry shampoos tend to do.
The next time you can't find the time for a salon appointment, pick up this hair gloss instead. You simply leave it on dry hair for 20 minutes, rinse it out, and you're left with a glass-like shine.
Once you get the hang of it, this heatless curling rod is the ultimate lazy girl hack to achieving a bouncy blowout. It comes with two scrunchies and a clip to keep your twists secure while you sleep and you can choose from 14 fun colors and prints.
This is my favorite hair oil on the planet—I swear after using it consistently for two months my hair has grown at least two or three inches. I typically apply it to my scalp before bed and wash it out in the morning about three times a week and it's made a world of difference in my hair and scalp health. My ends are no longer brittle or breaking off, and my scalp feels moisturized and less itchy. This one is definitely already sitting in my cart.
I have my scalp oil sorted out, now this is the oil I apply to my ends for silkier-looking strands after blow-drying my hair. It's a true multitasker—it adds shine, repairs damage, reduces frizz, and even increases color vibrancy, plus I love its lingering scent.
This is the wax stick I use to keep my Megan Markle-approved slicked-back bun in check. I use my fingers to warm up the wax first, then use short strokes along my hairline to brush back my baby hairs. The finished results holds them in place all day long.
This prep spray is a true multitasker—it protects against heat, fights frizz, detangles, adds shine, and smooths hair for 24 hours. If that's not all, reviewers say it has a delicious scent, too.
Your hair could use a little extra TLC from time to time and this fan-favorite mask can give it. Use it once a week in place of your conditioner and let it set for up 10 minutes for stronger, healthier hair.
This thermal brush has gone viral on TikTok, but it's worth it. But it's one of the few TikTok purchases I'm not mad about. I regularly use this brush to give the ends of my hair a subtle wave.
Winter will be here soon and with it brings noticeably dryer scalp and a whole host of hair issues. This serum will keep your scalp in tip-top shape during the drier weather, ensuring it stays nourished and soothed. A bonus is that you'll experience longer, thicker hair after 90 days.

If It-Girl Emily Ratajkowski uses this essence in her beauty routine, then I want to try it too. It went viral on TikTok and gives you a healthy glow with a moisture boost. Who knew snail secretion could be such a powerful skincare ingredient?
This cleanser really is deserving of all of the hype it gets. Aside from it's delicious herbal scent, it leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed without feeling stripped. According to the brand, one bottle sells every minute!
Clinique's cleansing balm is the gold standard for removing makeup. A tiny bit dissolves sunscreen, waterproof mascara, and other makeup without a problem, leaving your skin feeling baby-soft.
You can't go wrong with this fan-favorite if you prefer micellar water over a traditional cleanser. It has nearly 40,000 five-star reviews, and shoppers love how it gently removes makeup without irritating even the most sensitive skin types.
For all of my retinol newbies out there, don't be scared to try Elizabeth Arden's retinol capsules. These little babies hold just the right amount of serum so you don't go overboard. The formula is potent enough to banish fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, and sagging skin, yet gentle enough to use day and night. I've been using these capsules for the last several weeks and I yet to experience any side effects.
The French know a thing or two about beauty so it comes as no surprise that this French pharmacy staple is also a staple in plenty of makeup artists' kits. Somehow it deeply hydrates the skin while still feeling especially lightweight. You're also left with a softness that makes for the ideal base for makeup application.
Your neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. This cream tightens and firms the area, so fine lines will start to disappear.
Nothing is better than a multitasking beauty product. This face serum acts as a vitamin C serum to brighten and smooth skin and as your morning SPF. Just don't forget the moisturizer.
Hyaluronic acid is a hero ingredient for combatting dry skin, and this moisturizer from Peter Thomas Roth is jam-packed with three different forms of it.
If there's one thing I love, it's a multi-tasking beauty product. This serum works as a quick boost of moisture with its formula full of hyaluronic acid, squalane, and avocado oil. It also doubles as a makeup primer thanks to the wonderful glow it leaves. Just make sure to give it a good shake before applying.
This incredibly brightening vitamin C serum will do wonder to fade dark spots—fast. I started using it four weeks ago and have already noticed a huge difference. Need further convincing: it's 43 percent off.
Best Makeup Deals
Considering this is one of the best eyeliners for the waterline, if not the best, I'm shocked to see it on sale. This silky smooth pencil is waterproof, blendable, and comes in nearly 30 shades to choose from, all of which are on sale.
Sydney Sweeney, Leslie Mann, Naomi Osaka, Kate Moss, Charli XCX—the list of A-list fans of this lip balm is nearly endless. If you've been wanting to try the cult-favorite Laneige lip mask, it's on major sale for Prime Day so grab it while you can.
A lip gloss that provides a kiss of color, long-lasting hydration, and beautiful shine is not one to pass up. Even better that its made from clean ingredients and has pretty universal shades.
This bronzer is a drugstore favorite, and I regularly keep it stocked in my makeup bag. Its formula blends like a dream, is never chalky, and gives me the prettiest glow.
As someone who wears strip lashes on every night out, I know that Ardell is one of the best brands on the market. The clear band on this pair is so thin you can't even tell it's there and the lashes are as natural as can be.
I'm sure you've heard of Stila's Stay All Day liquid eyeliner, but if you want a fun graphic option from the brand, try this one out for size. Plenty of shades, including shimmery red, purple, silver, and gold, are discounted down to $15, and they have the same iconic staying power as the OG liner you know and love.
When a product has over 76,000 five-star reviews, you know it's a real winner. This drugstore mascara has shoppers impressed by its non-clumpy formula, which lifts and separates for spidery, long lashes.
My mom has been swearing by this lipstick since the '90s, so I know she'll be ecstatic to see it on sale. She says the it has a moisturizing formula that doesn't dry her lips out and the color has an impressively long-lasting wear.
Liquid eyeliner is no easy feat to master, but it can be thanks to the super fine felt tip on this one. Reviews say it's easy to apply and the tip can be used to draw thick or thin lines of your choosing that last all day long.
Best Fragrance Deals
All of Phlur's fragrances have the makings to go viral (and plenty of them have!), so imagine my surprise when I saw they all had 20 percent off coupons for Prime Day. It's hard to choose a favorite out of the brand's lineup, but Soft Spot, a sensual amber Musk, is a good choice for a signature fall perfume.
If you're a fan of citrus perfumes, you really can't go wrong with Clinique's Happy. The fragrance has long been a fan favorite in the category for it's easy-going wearability—it works for daytime, nighttime, and and just about any occasion.
Clean beauty brand Skylar is offering major discounts across the board for October Prime Day. Its fan-favorite perfumes are up to 30 percent off, so you can score a fresh fragrance, but I have my eye on this candle gift set that's on sale for just $16. I've been needing a wick trimmer and I can never have too many cozy scents for my home.
Not too sweet or too floral, Myth is the kind of perfume for those who want to smell feminine without having to be drenched in vanilla. Its blend of bergamot, tiger orchid, jasmine, patchouli, musk, and cedarwood is memorable and bound to get you a ton of compliments.
Celebrity fragrances can be hit or miss for me but Eilish is definitely a hit, especially if you're a vanilla perfume fan. It's sweet but not cloying—it has a more mature, layered scent with notes of berries, spices, and wood. I wear it anytime I want to feel warm and cozy, which I'm expecting will be all winter long.
Nest makes the best luxury candles in my eyes—every one has a strong scent, projects across large spaces, and lasts for months on end, not to mention the jars double as decor. I don't know a single person who wouldn't love to receieve a Nest candle as a gift either.
Best Bodycare Deals
I swear by this hand cream. It’s full of shea butter and never irritates my skin, even when my hands are cracked or inflamed. A tiny bit goes a long way, too, so this tube will last you all winter, guaranteed.
Just because summer is over doesn't mean you have to lose your post-vacation glow. Hold on to your summer tan with this easy-to-use self-tanner. It's a cult favorite among celebrities and shoppers for its non-streaky, buildable formula.
The best thing about body oils is that they moisturize your skin while leaving you with a glow. This one from Saltair absorbs quickly without any added greasiness and has just a hint of floral scent to make your perfumes last longer.
This spray is a godsend on long-haul travel days. I recently took it with me on a nine-hour flight to London and when I couldn't check into my hotel for another few hours, I used this spray in the airport bathroom for a much-needed freshening up. You simply spray it on a few pieces of toilet paper and you've got an impromptu body cleansing wipe.
Ingrown hairs and razor bumps are the bane of my existence, which is why I make sure to keep this oil fully stocked in my beauty cabinet. A few drops of this after shaving keeps skin hydrated and treats existing ingrown hairs, while also preventing any new ones from cropping up. If you shave at all, this is a must-have.
What Is The Difference Between Amazon Prime Day And Prime Big Deal Days?
Amazon Prime Day takes place over the summer, typically before Memorial Day. In contrast, Prime Big Deal Days occurs in October—consider it the unofficial start of the shopping season before the holidays. Both sale events, however, are two days long and include thousands of deals.
What Brands Will Be Included in Prime Big Deal Days 2024?
Expect to see a number of cult-favorite beauty brands included in this year's Prime Big Deal Days. We're expecting top brands across haircare, skincare, and makeup to be included such as EltaMD, Shark, Laneige, Urban Decay, Olaplex, Grande Cosmetics, Moroccanoil, and so many more. Last year, Amazon Prime Day even included Dyson hair tools, so we may get lucky again with more great deals.
Do You Have to Be a Prime Member to Access the Deals?
Only Amazon Prime members will be able to access the deals during Prime Big Deal Days 2024. Not a member? Don't worry—you can sign up for a 30-day free trial ahead of the sale.
