Step 1: Skincare Prep

Before diving into makeup, it’s crucial to start with a clean and well-moisturized face. Your AM skincare routine should focus on hydration and luminosity.

1. Cleanser: Use a gentle cleanser or miscellular water to remove any impurities. Did you know that Sabrina’s makeup artist, Caroline Gonzalez, uses Cetaphil’s Gentle Cleanser and moisturizer on her?
2. Toner: Apply a hydrating toner to balance your skin’s pH.
3. Moisturizer: Opt for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer to give your skin a supple base.
4. Sunscreen: Don’t forget to apply SPF serum to protect your skin.

Step 2: Flawless Base

Sabrina Carpenter’s makeup often features a glowing complexion. Here’s how to achieve that flawless base:

1. Primer: Start with a radiant primer to enhance luminosity (we love Elizabeth Mott’s Luminous Primer). Apply it evenly across your face with a fluffy brush.
2. Foundation: Color correct areas of discoloration! Use color-correct products sparingly and blend with a clean pinky finger. Choose a lightweight, buildable foundation that matches your skin tone. Use a damp beauty sponge or foundation brush to apply the foundation. To make your foundation more sheer and blendable, you can mix in a drop or two of moisturizer to your foundation before applying. Try for a natural finish.
3. Concealer: Apply concealer under your eyes, on blemishes, and any areas that need extra coverage. Blend it well.
4. Setting Powder/Spray: Lightly dust a translucent setting powder under the eye area and on areas prone to shine, like the T-zone.

Step 3: Defined Brows

Sabrina’s brows are typically well-groomed and naturally defined. Here’s how to achieve her brow look:

1. Brow Pencil: Use a brow pencil or powder that matches your hair color. Start by filling in any sparse areas with light, feathery strokes to create a natural appearance.
2. Brow Gel: Set your brows in place with a clear or tinted brow gel for a polished finish. Sabrina has a heart-shaped face so her eyebrows are angular and arched, yours don’t have to be. Pro tip, use the TikTok eyebrow filter to know how to draw your perfect eyebrow shape.

Step 4: Soft Eye Makeup

Sabrina often opts for soft, romantic eye makeup that enhances her natural beauty. Here’s how to recreate her eye look:

1. Eyeshadow: Start with a neutral eyeshadow palette and apply a soft shimmery beige or taupe shade all over your eyelid as a base. Then, use a slightly darker shade in the crease to add depth. Blend well to avoid harsh lines. For shimmer, use Half Magic’s Glitterpuck’s Pressed Fairy Dust Product on the lids of your eyes. For the inner corners of the eyes use Half Magic’s Glitter Pill.
2. Eyeliner: For a subtle definition, use a brown or dark gray eyeliner pencil. Line your upper lash line and softly smudge it out with a small brush for a more blended effect. 
3. Mascara: Apply a few coats of volumizing mascara to your upper and lower lashes for a fluttery effect. For added drama, you can consider using false lashes. Make sure they are as natural looking as possible!

Step 5: Luminous Cheeks

A key element of Sabrina Carpenter’s makeup is her glowing cheeks. Here’s how to achieve that look:

1. Blush: Choose a cream or powder blush in a soft pink or peach shade. Smile and apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it back towards your temples for a natural flush.
2. Highlighter: Apply a liquid (we love the e.l.f. Halo Glow Highlighter  Halo Glow Highlighter) or powder highlighter on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. A touch on the cupid’s bow can also enhance your lip shape. 

Step 6: Perfect Lips

Sabrina’s lip looks range from soft nudes to vibrant pinks. Here’s how to recreate her lip looks:

1. Lip Liner: Start with a lip liner that’s slightly darker but matches your natural lip color or the lipstick shade you plan to use. Outline your lips and fill them in slightly for longer lasting color.
2. Lipstick: Choose a lipstick (Sabrina’s makeup artist uses the Armani Lip Maestro Liquid Lipsticks) in a shade that complements your makeup. For a classic Sabrina look, opt for a soft pink, peachy pink, or nude. 
3. Gloss: For added shine, apply a clear or slightly shimmery lip gloss on top of your lipstick.

Step 7: Setting the Makeup

To ensure your makeup lasts all day and maintains that fresh look, finish with a setting spray. Hold it about an arm’s length away from your face and mist it lightly over your makeup. To finish the look, consider doing your hair according to our Sabrina Carpenter hair tutorial!
