Summer just got hotter with Amazon’s Prime Day kicking off today and running until Friday, June 26: marking the first time that the retailer is hosting its biggest sale of the year in June versus the usual mid-July promotion.
There are hundreds (if not thousands) of deals spanning clothing and accessories like handbags on amazon.com right now. In the realm of beauty, however, some markdowns tend to be deceiving — appearing stronger and more enticing than they actually are — so, as someone who has actively monitored these sales over the years, I’m here to help you cut through the noise and shortlist the skin care and makeup Prime Day deals that are truly worth your money.
These selections are either beauty picks with a cult following on social media, celebrity faves, time-tested holy grails, or items that I have personally tested and fallen in love with. The prices here range from just $5 to a bit under $100, and the labels on offer include Estée Lauder, Charlotte Tilbury, Medicube, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and other instantly recognizable names.

I went ahead and sampled most beauty goodies that Amazon is putting up on sale during an event staged by the mega retailer itself. The cream of the crop made it onto this roundup for your shopping convenience.

If you’re on the hunt for exciting Prime Day beauty steals — either to try out something new or replenish all your go-tos — you’ve come to the right place. Finalize your shopping cart and prepare your makeup bag for what’s to come.
Best Skin Care and Makeup Deals for Prime Day 2026

EDITOR’S choice
EltaMD SPF 46 UV Clear Face Sunscreen
SPF is an integral part of my daily routine, but with the hundred-degree weather at hand, I tend to use less makeup while doubling down on sun protection. A tinted sunscreen is thus my ultimate savior during the summer months, letting me skip the foundation altogether. Our editors at WWD adore this particular formula, appreciating its ultra-lightweight consistency, ability to give you a healthy glow, and incognito status under makeup.
Great for sensitive and acne-prone skin, the dermatologist-backed buy is made with zinc oxide and has an SPF rating of 46: shielding your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

TKTK Pimple Patches
If you need to restock your pimple patch stash, this set is probably one of the best beauty deals to say “yes” to. Sure, it doesn’t involve fun shapes and colors, but the bestseller from TKTK will definitely do the job while flaunting incredible value (you’re getting 443 patches in five different sizes, so it will literally have you covered for a long time).
Here’s what a satisfied reviewer has to say about the product: “The BEST acne patches! I have tried so many brands and always come back to these. You get the best bang for your buck. They work just as well, if not better in my opinion, than other top brands of acne patches! Love that there is a variety of sizes.”

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Micellar Wipes, Pack of 2
During Prime Day, you can get a two-pack of Neutrogena’s Makeup Remover Micellar Wipes for less than $8. This is the definition of a good deal, and even though I prefer using micellar water for double-cleansing, it’s nice to have wipes by your bed for those ultra-lazy days (or when you get home late after a night out). Amazon customers share that these babies do “an amazing job at removing makeup quickly and easily, taking off everything — even waterproof mascara — without needing to rub too hard.”

Patchology Serve Chilled Rosé Hydrating Under Eye Patches
These under-eye patches are infused with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to moisturize, depuff, and cut back on fine lines and dark circles alike. For optimal results, chill in the fridge before use and see the difference in as little as five minutes — faking eight hours of sleep for under $10.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water
As someone who has been double-cleansing for years, Bioderma is a constant re-purchase for me. Some of my friends and family also swear by this top-rated micellar water, given the fact that it sheds layers of makeup effortlessly, never feels drying or stripping, and does its best work when paired with a water-based cleanser.

Medicube Zero Pore Toner Pads
I enjoy using these toner pads right before putting on my makeup in the morning or prior to applying my serum come evening. I’m particularly a fan of their dual-sided texture — responsible for gently exfoliating the face and giving it that “glass skin” glow. At 52 percent off, this is one of the deepest discounts I’ve seen for Prime Day thus far, so now’s the best time to shop.

Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum With Salmon DNA
This Kylie Jenner–approved PDRN and peptide serum from Medicube is composed of salmon DNA, aiding with cellular-level skin repair, elasticity, and overall luminosity. No wonder it’s an A-lister darling.

Innisfree Daily UV Defense SPF 50+ Sunscreen Stick
I turn to sunscreen sticks for easy reapplication throughout the day and utilize them as a more compact alternative to full-sized SPFs while traveling. Innisfree’s offering has an SPF of 50+, resists water and sweat, glides around smoothly while keeping your makeup in place, and (the best feature of all!) has a blurring finish.
Price upon publish date of this article: $15.40

Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey
On days when I’m casually running errands or just want to keep it simple, I always reach for my Clinique Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey — a veritable “It” lip color of the Y2K era that’s seeing a massive resurgence as we speak. It’s subtle, non-drying, and instantly makes me look more put-together (even when I am completely barefaced).

R+Co Dart Hair Wax Stick
R+Co’s hair pomade cannot be beat, and this is coming from a girl who has a lot of flyaways and baby hairs sticking out on the regular. My straight, fine hair thanks this product endlessly and considers it an essential for mastering the sleek-bun hairstyle. It also lasts a long time: I’ve been using the wax stick for more than six months, and I’m only halfway through.

Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops
These D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops from Drunk Elephant will pamper you with a sunkissed, bronzed appearance while doubling as skin care. After all, the sheer serum formulation here has antioxidants and peptides to nourish the skin barrier, bestow brightness, and help iron out fine lines. Bonus points: The Sunshine Drops are exactly half off for Prime Day and manage to never “look orange or fake,” per one happy shopper.

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray
In the thick of summertime, humidity can get out of control. This heat-activated Color Wow spray promises to block its effects, protect ‘dos from damage, and leave locks looking glossy (with results lasting through three to four shampoo sessions). Often called “life-changing,” the hair care must-have is also a volume booster and won’t weigh you down in the slightest.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara
This ultra-buzzy mascara treats lashes to dramatic volume and length (people will assume you’re wearing falsies, mark my words). “Frankly, this is the best mascara on the market,” an Amazon reviewer claims. “The brush gives you coverage and definition for the smallest lashes, with outstanding separation.”
Price upon publish date of this article: $20.30

BareMinerals Gen Nude Highlighting Blush
The pictured BareMinerals highlighter blush specializes in natural flush and tasteful shimmer, without ever overpowering your glam at large. This is another multipurpose product I vouch for, since it’s not only good for regular use but travel as well — working as a blush and highlighter in equal measure to optimize your precious toiletry bag space.

Grande Cosmetics GrandeLash-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
Meet Grande Cosmetics’ GrandeLash-MD Lash Enhancing Serum, which asserts that within six weeks, your lashes will become longer, fuller, and thicker — courtesy of its roster of vitamins, peptides, and other good-for-you ingredients. Now, when you go sans mascara, no one will be able to spot the difference.

Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer
I’ve been loyal to this concealer for longer than I can remember. Its coverage is stunning, and on days when I don’t feel like putting in the effort but still want to look presentable, it acts as an ideal substitute for my foundation. Even though the Too Faced Born This Way cult hit is on the thicker side, it’s neither heavy nor patchy. I use it almost-religiously under my eyes and on other problem areas — not intending to stop anytime soon.

Dr.Jart+ Dermask Vital Hydra Solution Sheet Mask Set
You’ll always find a few Dr.Jart+ Dermask Vital Hydra Solution Sheet Masks in my carry-on when I’m headed abroad. My skin tends to get parched while traveling, and this mask has never failed to give it much-needed TLC after long flights. Grabbing a set, as opposed to singles, is a better bargain this Prime Day, as each mask will cost you just $5 a pop in this scenario.

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk
Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic Matte Revolution lipstick is less than $30 this week only. When I match it to the brand’s lip liner of the same shade, I fully understand all the hype surrounding the release — and this has been my exact lip combo for days in the office or weekend outings.

Aveeno Protect + Hydrate SPF 60 Lotion for Body & Face
Missing a body sunscreen in your life? Opt for a lotion like this 30-percent-off Aveeno one, which will feel so indulgent, you won’t be needing reapplication reminders.
“I keep this in my walk-in closet and apply it like body lotion as I get dressed,” a devoted buyer writes on Amazon. “It has a pleasant, mild scent, lacks any traces of stickiness, and functions as both a moisturizer and a sunblock.”

EltaMD UV Kid-Friendly Sunscreen Stick
Here’s an additional suncreen stick option for the taking: heftier in size than its Innisfree counterpart but still supremely packable. Boasting SPF 50+ that keeps faces and bods safe from the sun, the EltaMD sunscreen has been bought over 2,000 times in the past month, is water resistant for up to 80 minutes, and won’t irritate sensitive skin (making it a no-brainer purchase for your kiddos, too).

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Face Serum
Replenish your Estée Lauder supply with one of the label’s most formidable serums, sold for under $100 as of today. Now that I’m in my 30s, I try to incorporate more anti-aging products into my regimen, and this topical has been reviving my complexion when I don’t get much sleep or need an extra dose of hydration.
It doesn’t hurt that the Advanced Night Repair Face Serum also got a thumbs-up from Hollywood elite like Anna de Armas, Kendall Jenner, Kristen Bell, and beyond.
