HOT LIKE ESPRESSO: HOW TO FOLLOW SABRINA CARPENTER’S BEAUTY ROUTINE

six coffee cups with different brews and a Summer Fridays Iced Coffee Lip Balm laying on top of them towards the camera from a bird's eye view

Thinking about... Sabrina Carpenter’s make up looks every night? We guess so – that's why you’re here. The mystery remains, how does the singer (who’s working late!) achieve her fresh, blush-draped glam before gracing the stage? Let’s take a deep dive into her make up bag — it’s filled with a latte icons we know you love... 

A FRESHLY BREWED BASE 

Show after show, the artist’s go-to look is typically characterised by a dewy, naturally luminous finish and what better way to fast-track your radiance the Carpenter way than with Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter. The best thing about this hybrid? It’s infused with skin care ingredients like glycerin and squalane, which work together to boost your base with lasting hydration. What’s more, its illuminating powers last all day (and all night), supercharging your complexion with a lit-from-within glow and light coverage.

The secret key to Sabrina’s satin-skin? It could only be NARS’ Sheer Glow Foundation, of course. Bursting with a good-to-glow blend of turmeric extract, nourishing antioxidants and the brand’s signature Complexion Brightening Formula, it’s no wonder this radiance-boosting staple is found in make up bags everywhere... especially that of hot-right-now artists. It gets better – made to grant buildable coverage with a skin-mimicking finish, expect an airy and luminous base, which gets a glowing review from us...

LAIT ON THE BLUSH 

There’s something so mesmerising about Sabrina’s aesthetic; some might say it’s her sparkly tights, which make us play a game of ‘which body oil is she using?’, while others conclude it’s her big hair – full of secret coffee recipes – but most would say the allure stems from her 1980’s blush placement. In the mood to switch your blush up like Nintendo? Reach for Huda Beauty’s Blush Filter, a demi-matte must-have boasting a silky, liquid formula. Whether you’re after a rosy rendezvous or want to create a pretty-in-peach party on your cheeks, this high-pigment hero unlocks custom-made colour that will last after the sun sets.

If less fuss for the flush is your thing, then Westman Atelier’s Baby Cheeks Blush Stick strikes the perfect balance between juicy colour and easy-to-use application. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, this formula offers a buttery-soft texture, which effortlessly melts over lids, lips *and* cheeks with a creamy, healthy-looking finish. Taking a fluffy, tapered-end make up brush, start by blending from the apples of your cheeks upwards to your temples. Don’t stop there... intensify the draping effect by lightly sweeping across your brow bone and eye lids for a smooth, transitional look, which ties everything together.

KISSPRESSO ICONS 

Miss Carpenter’s lip combos are anything but flat and for a frothy (read: glossy) finish, here’s what you’ll need... 

Sources say Hourglass’ Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm was spotted in her glam squad’s line up and we bet you want to know why. For starters, it’s the perfect way to streamline your GRWM routine because it combines the moisture of a balm, the pigment of a lipstick and shine of a gloss – all of which is ideal for a singer with quick backstage changes. More than this, the easy-swipe formula glides with a creamy texture bursting with the brand’s Conditioning Complex that bids dry pouts adew. That’s right – a multidimensional, glacier-like finish (just like Sabrina’s) is one tap away.

Nothing says star power like ISAMAYA’s Liplacq 2.0, and though we haven’t got any evidence of this gloss-serum hybrid making a cameo in the singer’s beauty corner, something tells us it might be along for the ride on the next tour. Thanks to the brand’s Triple Moisture Restore Tech, which is boosted by hyaluronic acid microspheres, a botanical blend of soybean and ginger oil, this pout-plumping icon enhances the look of your lips with volume and supreme shine. The best part? A mixture of vitamin E and coffee bean extract – wink wink – protects lips from environmental aggressors such as pollution, sunlight and smoke. Isn’t that sweet? We guess so.

EYE TO CHAI  

How could we forget about the eyes? There isn’t a Sabrina look that’s complete without a winged eyeliner and lash-lifting mascara. We’re still on the hunt for her exact staples but for now, here’s what we’d opt for... 

No steady hand is needed when it comes to Danessa Myricks Beauty’s Linework Eyeliner, an onyx-black liquid liner designed to take you from sultry fine lines to dramatic flicks. Backed up with the brand’s Ever Flow technology, this versatile favourite is made with 560 tapered bristles, which give you maximum control of your creativity and leave a demi-matte finish that won’t smudge or budge. And finally, top things off with Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Mascara, a flexi-hold formula made to last longer than any caffeine fix, we can assure you. It’s enriched with film-forming polymers and collagen, which work together to nourish, thicken and curl lashes upwards for a fanned-out effect. All you need is one coat but if you have a flare for the dramatics (no pun intended) then add another layer, no clumps are invited to this soirée.
