Beauty is pain, right? Whether it's piercings, microneedling, laser hair removal, or injectables, the majority of beauty procedures can be an unpleasant and uncomfortable experience. That's why we're so grateful to numbing creams, which can be a lifesaver for those with low pain tolerance. "Numbing creams work by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the skin, making the area less sensitive to pain during aesthetic procedures," says NYC-based plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Schwarcz.

Luckily for you, Amazon's Big Spring Sale is currently underway and features thousands of deals across all categories, including markdowns on some of my personal favorite beauty picks.

Byrdie Aging is a privilege—a fact that the beauty industry can often make us forget. But as your skin changes with age, you might notice that the products you’ve used for years don’t function the same. Perhaps they’re not hydrating enough (skin gets drier as we age) or accentuate fine lines or texture.

Byrdie Having naturally dry lips like I do isn’t for the faint of heart—I probably haven’t left the house without a lip balm in my possession for the past 15 years (not at all an exaggeration). The wind and cold this time of year can make them even more chapped, and a standard lip balm on its own won’t get the job done. I try tons of products to keep my lips in tip-top shape, and I’ve nailed down my routine to a particular science for soft, hydrated lips all year long.

ByrdieTL;DROur best overall pick is the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick. It’s smooth, easy to blend, and provides coverage that lasts beautifully all day. We also love the Ami Colé Skin-Enhancing Lightweight & Blurring Foundation Stick, which feels hydrating and lightweight on the skin while adding soft, medium coverage. Well-loved by makeup artists and often underrated, foundation sticks are a great choice for easy, blendable coverage sans the mess of a liquid or powder formula.

Byrdie Byrdie editors test hundreds of products a year—so it’s a big deal when a brand stands out among the masses. One of our favorites is Glow Recipe, a K-beauty-inspired skincare brand that uses fruits (most notably, watermelon and guava) alongside other effective, derm-recommended ingredients to promote a smooth, dewy complexion. From exfoliating overnight masks to creamy serums, the brand has tons to choose from—and we’ve tested many of them.

Byrdie I’m a creature of habit when it comes to my makeup routine, often sticking to the same look no matter the occasion. The one area where I like to mix it up is my lips, whether with a gloss, balm, or lipstick. Because of this, I own tons of lip products (which is unfortunate for my bank account), but I love testing new options to add to my routine. So, when I saw Clinique’s Black Honey lipstick going viral yet again (it’s been beloved by makeup artists for years), I knew I had to try it.

Amazon has had tons of sales over the holiday weekend, and they’re keeping the deals going with plenty of markdowns lasting through tomorrow, December 2nd (so you’ll want to act quickly).
