The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is my favorite time of year to shop beauty because so many of my tried and true products are on sale. In fact, I’d argue that the NSALE beauty sale is the best beauty sale of the entire year. It’s just such a rare occurrence to find and shop prestige skincare, makeup, haircare, and fragrance on such a markdown, not to mention how so many of the products are a part of exclusive value sets you can’t find anywhere else at any other time of year!
In this post, I’ve rounded up what I consider to be all the best beauty deals in this year’s sale. They’re organized by category, too, so you can skip ahead or bop around depending on what you’re looking for. A quick reminder before you dive in: These beauty sets are some of the first things to sell out every year and they rarely restock, so if something’s on your list, do. not. wait. Whether you want to stock up on the favorites you use every day, get a head start on holiday gifting, or finally try that splurge product at a discount, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is absolutely the moment to do it!
Sale Dates
2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Open to everyone July 18 – August 9. Cardmembers get early access July 14-17. Beauty value sets sell out fast, so shop early!
Best Skincare Deals
Skincare is where the NSALE value really shines — this is your chance to restock prestige serums and creams (or try them for the first time) at prices you won’t see the rest of the year. Think exclusive duos and jumbo sizes from the brands that almost never offer discounts. If you’re online at all, you’ve probably seen U Beauty products everywhere and wondered if they’re really that good, and I’m here to tell you they SO are. You can literally feel the luxury in U Beauty products, and my skin has never felt or looked better. The line has quickly become one of my all-time favorite skincare brands and they’re offering some amazing discounts, so don’t pass up the chance to take advantage of the savings if you’ve been wanting to try the line!
Best Makeup Deals
From flawless complexion must-haves to viral lip and eye sets, this year’s Nordstrom Sale makeup deals are perfect for both stocking up for yourself and getting ahead of holiday gifting for someone else. Some of the value sets feature line-ups of full-size products along with minis that are perfect for throwing in your bag. Westman Atelier is one of the beauty brands included in the sale I’m most excited about, as it’s one of my favorite makeup brands that I’ve been using for years now. I’ll definitely be stocking up on the Baby Cheeks blush and maybe even treating myself to a new lipstick or two!
