If you find Sabrina Carpenter’s signature doll-like beauty look please, please, pleasing , you’re certainly not alone.
In the midst of a banner year that’s seen the pop star delivering the song of the summer (with smash hit “Espresso”), opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and making her relationship with Barry Keoghan red carpet-official at the Met Gala, Carpenter’s makeup has gone viral, with tutorials racking up tens of millions of views on TikTok.
“She just always looks young and gorgeous and glowy,” Carpenter’s longtime makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez , tells Page Six Style.
“With Sabrina, the cheek is a major focus — the cheek and the lip. She’s one of those old-school artists where they have their look, and it works for them.”
In honor of the release of Carpenter’s new album, “Short n’ Sweet,” we asked Gonzalez to break down the superstar’s go-to glam — so you can do your makeup so nice , too.
Gonzalez always gives Carpenter a “soft, glowy, yummy, sun-kissed” base, incorporating both liquid blush and glow drops from Armani Beauty’s Luminous Silk range and later “packing on” a setting powder to ensure her glam remains picture-perfect during performances.
“This has been a staple for me for so many years, because it’s very movable, it’s hydrating, but it also gives you that skin-like finish. It really gives me that glow that I want.”
“I like to give her a hint of a sun-kissed look. This melts into your skin and blends so nicely. My key thing is: always blend, so you don’t see where anything starts or ends. I normally start with the 90 [light to medium] shade and the 100 if I want more depth, and contour the whole face with that — forehead, cheekbones, temples.”
“We do two colors with Sabrina: the 53, which is a baby pink, and the 62, which is a mauve color. I blend those together; I like to ombré it. Not so much on the apple of the cheek; more like the mid-apple and up toward the hairline. When you start on the cheekbone and go up from there, it gives you more of a lifted and snatched look.”
“In her lighter points, like her forehead and jawline, I’ll go in with shade 3 to brighten. Then, depending on how bronze we want to go, I’ll use the 6.5 or 8 to warm her up. It still keeps the glow, and the skin looks satiny.”
“They’re not like those eye tints where you put them on and have to work really quick before they dry; they give you time to play. And then once they’re on, they’re on ,” she adds. “I really need things I can count on to look great on the carpet, but then also last through the night and still look beautiful.”
“I really like to ombré the inner corners with the 10S [light violet copper] tint, and then go into an 18M [beige] on the lid and use one of the matte finishes on the edges of the eye. Then, I do a soft, soft hint of an extension — like a liner, but it looks like it’s her lash — and I’ll do that with the 99M, which is a matte black.”
“She loves a rosy mauve; she doesn’t like anything that’s too orange or too pink,” says Gonzalez, who keeps a few different lip colors on hand for Carpenter.
“103 and 106 are her perfect colors and always our go-tos. I usually don’t use a lip brush — I tap it on with my fingers — but if I want to create that illusion of a fuller lip, I use a smudging brush and feather it on, so it doesn’t look so lined.”
