Sabrina Carpenter is known for her fresh, youthful, and effortlessly chic makeup style. Her looks are often characterised by a natural, dewy complexion, subtle contouring, and soft, smoky eyes. Think of Sabrina's makeup as a cosy sweater: it's warm, inviting, and just a little bit mysterious. It's the kind of look that makes you want to ask, "How do you do that?" And we're about to spill the 'espresso!'

One of the key elements of Sabrina's makeup look is her natural, dewy complexion. She often uses a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser to create a sheer, luminous base. She then contours her cheekbones and jawline with a matte bronzer to add definition. Finally, she applies a rosy blush to the apples of her cheeks to create a healthy flush.

Sabrina's eyes are another focal point of her makeup look. She often uses a soft, smoky eyeshadow palette to create a subtle, blended effect. She may also add a touch of shimmer to her inner corners or eyelid crease. Finally, she completes her eye look with a coat of mascara. Her lips are typically kept neutral to balance the rest of her makeup. She often uses nude lipstick or lip gloss to create a natural, hydrated look.

We're talking dewy skin, smoky eyes, and a touch of blush that could rival a sunset. The perfect blend of glam and natural beauty. So, grab your makeup bag and let's get started.

Key elements of Sabrina's makeup look:

  • Natural, dewy complexion: A hydrated and radiant base is essential for this look.
  • Subtle contouring: Softly defined cheekbones and a sculpted jawline.
  • Soft, smoky eyes: Smoky eyes with a focus on blending and a hint of shimmer.
  • Neutral lips: A nude or natural lip colour to balance the smoky eyes.

Tutorial:

Step 1: Prep your skin

  • Start with a clean, moisturised face. Apply a primer to make your makeup last longer and create a smoother canvas.

Step 2: Foundation and concealer
  • Apply a lightweight, full-coverage foundation that matches your skin tone. Use a concealer to cover blemishes or dark circles. Blend well with a damp beauty sponge or a foundation brush.

Step 3: Contour
  • Use a matte contour powder that is slightly darker than your skin tone. Apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, and temples. Blend well with a fluffy brush.

Step 4: Blush
  • Apply a rosy or peach blush to the apples of your cheeks. Blend upward towards your temples.

Step 5: Eyeshadow
  • Start with a neutral eyeshadow as a base. Apply a slightly darker shade to your crease and blend well. Add a shimmery shade to your eyelid and inner corner. For a smoky effect, use a darker shade along your lower lash line.

Step 6: Eyeliner
  • Line your upper lash line with a brown or black eyeliner. Smudge the line slightly for a more relaxed look.

Step 7: Mascara
  • Apply a coat of mascara to your upper and lower lashes.

Step 8: Lips
  • Finish the look with a nude or natural lip colour. A lip gloss or balm can add a touch of shine.

Additional tips: 
  • Less is more: Sabrina's makeup is about subtlety. Avoid heavy application; focus on blending. Experiment with colours: While neutral tones are a staple, you can also use different eyeshadow colours to suit your personal style.
  • Set your makeup: Use a setting spray to help your makeup last longer and prevent shine. By following these steps and incorporating Sabrina Carpenter's signature elements, you can create a fresh, youthful, and effortlessly chic makeup look.
