Nars Cosmetics Black Friday 2025 Sale - What to Expect & When

From start dates to discount levels, and what products will likely be included (or excluded), here’s everything you need to know if you’re planning to shop NARS during their upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale.

Likely Start Date for NARS Black Friday 2025 Sale

NARS tends to kick off their main Black Friday sale a few days before Thanksgiving. Last year, their sale started on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and we’re expecting them to follow the same schedule this year. That means we’ll probably see the sale go live on Saturday, November 22, 2025, exclusively at narscosmetics.com.

Discount Levels to Expect

NARS typically runs a tiered system based on how much you spend during their annual Black Friday events. Last year, it worked like this:

20% off orders under $75
25% off orders of $75 or more
30% off orders of $150 or more

You had to use a promo code at checkout to get the discount. Last year’s code was CYBER, and unless they decide to change it, it could be the same for 2025.

Besides the discounts, NARS usually throws in free standard shipping on all U.S. orders during their Black Friday sale. But keep in mind that this is typically only for addresses within the continental U.S., so if you’re in Alaska, Hawaii, or an international location, you might not get free shipping.

What’s Usually Excluded from the Sale

NARS tends to exclude certain products from their Black Friday promotion. Here’s what was left out last year and is likely to be excluded again in 2025:

Holiday Gift Sets: These are already priced as “value sets,” so NARS rarely allows additional discounts on them.
Sale Items / Last Chance Products: If something is already marked down, it won’t qualify for an extra percentage off during Black Friday.
Limited Editions or Collaborations: Items from special artist collaborations or limited-edition collections often aren’t included in sitewide promotions.

NARS usually posts the full list of exclusions in their official sale terms once the sale goes live. It’s a good idea to double-check before you checkout to avoid surprises.

Examples of Last Year’s Popular Sale Items

Looking back at last year’s sale, here are some products that were particularly popular and sold out pretty fast:

Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation (Regular price $52, down to $41.60 with 20% off)
Orgasm Blush (Regular price $32, down to $25.60 with 20% off)
Audacious Lipstick in Anita and Mona shades (Regular price $34, down to $27.20 with 20% off)
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Duo (Excluded from sale as it was a gift set)
Laguna Bronzing Powder (Regular price $38, down to $30.40 with 20% off)

For larger orders, people who spent $150+ saw even deeper savings. For example:

Buying a foundation, concealer, blush, and lipstick together brought the total over $150. With the 30% discount applied, that whole bundle came down to around $115 instead of $165, which is a solid deal for high-end makeup.
