I’m working late, ‘cause I’m obsessing over Sabrina Carpenter’s looks. Right from opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour to her latest singles, interviews, and marketing promotions, the “Espresso” singer has been serving looks non-stop. She has created a niche for herself with her Barbie-coded persona and makeup. The flushed cheeks, dewy base, and Bambi-core eye makeup are consistent across all her looks. There’s a reason why it works, and let’s see how we can recreate it too.
Soft Skin (& I Perfumed It For Ya)
No matter how on-point your makeup is, if your skin is not prepped well, the makeup will end up looking cakey and unnatural. Clearly, Sabrina gives her skin a lot of love and ample hydration. Although a simple CSMS routine would suffice for most, for those with troubled skin, we recommend going the extra mile – sheet mask, toner, ice roller, and under-eye cream.

I Just Did My Makeup So Nice
Sabrina’s makeup is always doll-like and highlights her best features. She also focuses on a blush-heavy look, clearly sporting a cream blush under her foundation and a powder blush for the final touch. The middle part of her face glows (like a freshly glazed doughnut) while her lower cheek looks naturally snatched with just the right amount of contouring using concealer and bronzer.

Espresso Lips & Doe Eyes
It’s hard to miss Sabrina’s piercing blue eyes and plump lips. She mentioned in an interview that she applies lip balm and uses a toothbrush as a natural scrub to make her lips look fuller. Next to these are her doe eyes that are also hard to miss – she wears a cat-liner and false lashes on the outer corner of her lashline to make them look natural. She also matches the glitter on her cheeks with some shimmer on her eyelids, and because there’s so much focus on the upper part of her face with the curtain bangs and glitter, her lips are always subtle. Her go-to lip combo is a brown lip liner, peachy brown lip colour, and a generous swipe of gloss.

I’ve caught the L-O-V-E when it comes to Ms Carpenter’s no-“Nonsense” makeup looks that stand out in the crowd while also being achievable. If you are a hardcore fan like me, you can also get her quintessential curtain bangs that effortlessly sit on her face complementing her “Feather”-light look.
