How to Shop Nordstrom’s Beauty Savings Event Like an ELLE Editor

2 min read

I’m not ashamed of what the “Most Used” category of my screen time report reveals about me: I love to shop. Vintage bags and shoes have my heart, and who can pass up a two-day shipping promise from Amazon? However, my interests truly lie in the main function of my job: finding the best beauty deals to shop. Luckily, one of the best hush-hush sales is happening right now: Nordstrom Beauty Savings Event.

Nordstrom’s short-but-sweet promotion is offering up to 25 percent off top-rated luxury brands until April 20. With summer just a few weeks away, there’s a ton of prep and products needed to ensure this season is the best yet. That means stocking up on luxury skin care from Tata Harper, Estée Lauder, and Lancôme, or elevating your makeup looks with Mac Cosmetics or Anastasia Beverly Hills.

The sprawling pages of the Beauty Savings Event can be overwhelming, but luckily, it’s my job to distill these picks into a smart, curated guide for your shopping pleasure. I don’t mean to encourage you to increase your screen time, but I do urge you to shop these deals fast before the sale ends for good. Ahead, the editor-approved guide to shopping Nordstrom’s Beauty Savings Event.

MAKEUP

I’m no psychic, but I sense a makeup restock in the future. Where to start? With a flawless base that conceals, not accentuates, any fine or smile lines. There’s First Class Beauty 2026 winner Yensa BC Foundation, which combines the corrective effect of a CC cream with the lightweight feel of a BB cream, or even a cult-classic like Mac’s Studio Fix Fluid, which has a slight sun protection of SPF 15 (you can always restock sunscreen, more on that below!).

SKIN CARE

Now is as good a time as any to switch to those mattifying salves for the summer. Of course, underneath it all should be hydration and sun protection, all found discounted on Nordstrom right now. Correct and soothe skin with picks like Tata Harper’s top-rated Rejuvenating Serum or Clarins’ Hydrating Toning Lotion. Of course, correction needs protection, so a sunscreen restock is imperative. I spy with my eyes: Kiehl’s Better Screen UV Serum and Vacation’s Classic Lotion SPF 50.

HAIR

If you’ve been trying to be intentional about your scalp and hair care routine, allow these gems hidden in the hair section to help you achieve your goals. For styling matters, look to Oribe’s fan-favorite Maximista Thickening Spray or even the Run-Through Detangling Primer.
