Amazon’s annual summer beauty sale has up to 50% off Tarte, Laneige, Medicube and more | CNN Underscored (1)

There’s more to Amazon than just air fryers and vacuums. The third annual Amazon Summer Beauty Event has begun, teeing up a two-week sale on beauty products galore. Thousands of savings are already live on bestselling brands — such as Tarte and Clinique makeup, Kiehl’s and Laneige skin care — as well as designer fragrances and grooming tools.

Good news: It runs through Mother’s Day, May 11, so there’s plenty of time to load up on favorites, especially giftables. I scouted the best beauty deals during the Amazon sale, with markdowns up to 50% off, and rounded them up ahead. Check this page often, as we’ll be tracking new discounts as they trickle in throughout the next few weeks.
