Sabrina Carpenter was on our playlists (and beauty moodboards) all year. From her statement pink blush to her fluffy blonde bangs, the pop star’s signature look has become nearly as famous as she is, and at this point, we’re begging her to please please please share the secrets to her flirty glam. Frisky, feminine, and platform-booted, she combines ’50s and ’60s aesthetics with a modern twist.
And while Sabrina usually opts for a glowy look, she’s switched up her trademark beauty routine with vampy lipsticks, bronzed skin, and vintage-inspired hair. Ahead, see her best makeup looks from over the years, and get ready to save your favorites for later inspo.
Sabrina usually opts for a pink or brown lip, but we love this vampy burgundy shade she wore earlier this year. She kept the rest of her glam simple to let her pout speak for itself, though she did add a sleek black eyeliner and a dusting of white eyeshadow to the inner corners of her eyes, helping them pop. Recreate the gothic look with this refillable burgundy lipstick by FENTY BEAUTY, and make sure to line your lips with a deep pink lip liner, like this one from MAKEUP FOREVER, to prevent any color bleeding.
A colorful glam is always eye-catching, but as Sabrina proves, sticking to one shade is just as statement-making. She traded out her usual baby-pink blush for a peachy version, applying the hue to the apples of her cheeks, and continued the sweet theme with a sparkling champagne eyeshadow and a glossy coral lip that matched her blush.
A vintage-inspired glam never goes out of style, and Sabrina kept her makeup routine classic with a dark red lipstick, fluffy brows, and sculpted cheeks. She accordingly paired the look with a vintage dress, and of course, a coiffed and curled hairstyle. To replicate her ’do, try teasing your hair before curling the ends, making sure to create tight little curls. And, in Sabrina’s signature fashion, don’t forget to fluff up your bangs for a final flourish.
Lean into the bronzed look for a sun-kissed glow—even in the middle of winter. Here, Sabrina swapped out her trademark blush for a golden highlight, and used a warm bronzer to sculpt out her cheeks. A golden eyeshadow helped bring a little more dimension to her look, and she topped it all off with a brown lipstick. Replicate her glam with this creamy bronzer from ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS, as well as this Rouge Art Lipstick from MAKEUP FOREVER.
A bit of shine goes a long way, especially when your highlight extends past your cheekbones. For the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, Sab rina went with a glowy glam that gave her a radiant look. She used a dewy highlighter, like this Halo Glow BB Cream Highlighter from PURLISSE BEAUTY, and applied it to all the high points on her body, including the apples of her cheeks, the tip of her nose, the tops of her shoulders, and her collarbones.
For a more fresh-faced look, Sabrina pared back her usual glam in favor of a stripped-down version. Follow her radiant makeup tutorial by starting with a hydrating primer and a glowy foundation to get that lit-from-within vibe. Swipe a glittery gold eyeshadow onto your lids, and then add dimension with a dusting of orange shadow on the outer corners of your eyes and below your bottom lash line. Complete your sunset-hued glam with a peachy blush, glistening highlighter, and a glossy terracotta lip.
It’s not that “me espresso,” but this glam is definitely hot and ready to serve. This mocha-inspired makeup routine plays with different shades of brown to make a layered look with lots of dimension. Sabrina tight-lined her eyes with black liner, and then blended a champagne eyeshadow with a dark brown one to create a smoked-out look. She went easy on the blush to keep the focus on her eyes and lips, the latter of which were done up with a café-tinted matte lipstick. Yum!
Sabrina had a fairytale glam moment at the 2024 Met Gala, and it’s remained one of her best looks. For the occasion, she went full Cinderella mode with a dusty blue eyeshadow, using the color as the centerpiece of her look. An icy white shadow, placed at the inner corners of her eyes and underneath her brow arches, gave her glam an extra touch of brilliance. To round out her look, she complemented the pale blue shade with a touch of pastel pink blush and a matching glossy lip.
There’s nothing more polished than a sleek glam. With her blonde hair slicked back into a futuristic updo, Sabrina opted to highlight her blue eyes here, using a smoked-out wing to add some drama to her look. To recreate her bold eyeshadow, use a smoky neutral palette like this Terra Eye Shadow Palette from ELEMAN BEAUTY, and blend the taupe and dark brown shades onto your lids before smudging a black eyeliner along your lash line and flicking it upward to create a wing. Set your wing with a little black eyeshadow, and then top off your look with voluminous false lashes for an extra sultry glam.
As a nod to early ’00s pop, Sabrina paired her lace mini dress with a vibrant teal eyeshadow, taking inspiration from Britney Spears’ iconic looks. She blended the aquamarine shade across her lids and under her lash line, highlighting her brow bone and inner corners with concealer and a glittery white shadow. Per usual, she chose to give her complexion a dewy finish, and she completed her retro look with a rosy nude lip color.
