The best beauty outlet shopping you won’t want to miss

By Sarah Joan Ross on 2/12/2019

The new beauty outlets, where everything is magically discounted, from cost-effective hair, make-up and skincare to budget brushes – you’ll never pay full price for anything again…

Did Black Friday pass you by? Well, don’t worry, you can breathe a sigh of relief as we have the ultimate guide to beauty outlet shopping: online, in London, and beyond.


Forget your preconceptions about discount stores, these have been handpicked – so they’re not the usual array of broken bronzers or lime-green shadows that nobody wants, and there are no bargain bins to rummage through. It’s just like regular shopping – with nice packaging and must-have products – but with a much friendlier price tag.


Read on to find our favourite budget beauty stores that offer discounted make-up, affordable brushes, thrifty salon-worthy hair products and cost-effective tanning. Plus, there’s an online price-comparison site – so you can figure out the best discount on Charlotte Tilbury, Huda Beauty, Estée Lauder Companies, and the rest – and the best bit? They’re available all year round. Happy shopping.

​The Cosmetics Company Store at Ashford Outlet Mall

​The Cosmetics Company Store at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Ashford

This latest boutique in The Cosmetics Company Store empire can be found at McArthurGlen’s Designer Outlet Mall in Ashford. It’s just 40 minutes from London (the train practically stops at the mall) and has all the big brands from Estée Lauder Companies (think M.A.C, Tom Ford and Clinique), but for a fraction of the RRP. On average, there's a discount of 30% off department store prices, along with store manager and sale specials. You really can bag a bargain on all your favourites.


Brands: Tom Ford, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Darphin, Origins, Glamglow, M.A.C and Michael Kors, Aramis, Smashbox, Tory Burch and Aerin.


Hero beauty buys: Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair, Tom Ford Traceless Foundation Stick and Bobbi Brown’s Beach Fragrance.
