Sabrina Carpenter may be a busy woman all the time - but she's never too busy to have a flawless face on, complete with her signature classic, glowing makeup look.
Over the years, the Espresso singer has slowly revealed the exact makeup products that she uses, ranging from skincare to lipstick to eyeshadow, and FEMAIL has rounded it all up.
Typically, Carpenter rocks a rosy blush look on her cheekbones, along with a nude lip liner and gloss.
She wore the iconic makeup look to the 2025 Met Gala, as she turned heads in a tiny, pinstripe burgundy bodysuit by Louis Vuitton and a dark, red-purple lip.
This year's theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, with the dress code as Tailored For You, in a nod to menswear and suiting as seen in the exhibit at the Met, which is what the gala benefits.
Her curve-hugging bodysuit came with a matching cropped jacket and train, which were dotted with silver, jewel-encrusted buttons.
Carpenter paired the outfit with sky-high burgundy pumps and an array of silver rings around her fingers.
Now, you can get a similar look to the star as we've compiled all of her favorite makeup products that she's spoken about - and some of them are more affordable than you may think.
She keeps it simple with her skincare picks
Carpenter always looks like she has flawless skin, and that's probably thanks to her simple and clean base routine.
While sharing her beauty secrets with Vogue four years ago, she revealed that one of her favorite things to do before putting on any makeup is what she calls an 'ice cube facial.'
In order to do this, the Please Please Please hitmaker will simply wrap up a few ice cubes in a paper towel and lightly press it around her face.
Sabrina kicks off her routine with this powerful cleanser packed with actives. It goes deep to deliver a deep clean while exfoliating to reduce clogged pores and leave skin luminous.
This protective serum does all of the heavy lifting for Sabrina's skin, fading sun spots and acne scars. It imparts a revitalizing blend of vitamins C and E to to protect skin from harmful free radicals, too.
Available in 11 gorgeous tints, this glossy balm is as nourishing to the skin as it is pretty on the pout. From the addictive scents to the natural finish, it's the ultimate makeup bag staple.
'This is just kind of something I've always taken with me because ice cubes are easy to find, so it's something I can always just count on to be there if I don't have anything else,' Carpenter said at the time.
She also shared that she's a big fan of sheet masks, especially the $10 Viral Hydra Solution one by Dr. Jart.
After she leaves that on for a few minutes, she will wash her face with the AHA/BHA Blemish Control Cleanser by Renée Rouleau, which retails for $40.
Carpenter follows it up with the brand's $39 toner, putting a few dabs of it on a cotton pad to apply to her face.
It seems like she's a big fan of the brand, as she also blends together their Vitamin C serum and sunscreen to make sure she's protected from any harmful UV rays.
To finish off her routine, Carpenter puts on a little bit of Glossier's $16 Nourishing Balm Dotcom lip balm in the birthday cake flavor, which she raves smells 'so good.'
'It literally smells like a cake and I want to eat it every time, but I don't recommend that,' she joked.
Carpenter's face makeup is glow-y and bronzed
When it comes to her face makeup, Carpenter often goes for a natural, highlighted look.
In 2022, she posted a video to TikTok sharing a bit of her makeup routine at the time, showing off a handful of products.
Achieve Sabrina's exact same glam glow with everyone's favorite filter in a bottle. With brightening agents to illuminate your complexion while leaving it super soft for a full day, it provides sheer coverage worthy of the big stage.
Whether blended with makeup or worn solo, this bronzer is sure to deliver an enviable sun-kissed glow. It has a lovely serum-like consistency that makes it a dream to wear!
Covering imperfections is a breeze with this concealer. It's a multitasking powerhouse that perfects your complexion while illuminating to give skin a bare-faced, flawless appearance.
The first item she used in the video was the viral $49 Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter makeup, which gives users a super nice glow under their makeup.
Carpenter put it under her eyes and her T-Zone before blending it in.
It's also been reported that another one of her favorites is the $48 Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Liquid Bronzer, which lets you build up to your preferred level of bronzed.
In her Vogue Beauty Secrets segment, she raved about the Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Concealer, which currently retails for $34.
The 26-year-old was also seen mixing together two foundations - the $138 Radiant Cream Foundation by Clé de Peau, and the $90 Tom Ford Traceless Foundation Stick.
Rich and nourishing, this cream foundation is perfect for those dry-skin days. It hydrates whole staying put for a full day and provides a comforting feel with a plump, healthy texture.
Sabrina loves this blush in Delicate Mauve or Bold Pink to bring some extra color to her face. If you've seen her stunning skin, you know the look is flushed and beautiful! Choose from 10 colors ranging from corals to plums.
The songstress is known to wear Ecstasy blush for that amazing pink hue that lights up her cheekbones. It contains subtle glow-enhancing pigments that reflect light for that extra star power!
She joked that both of them were just 'big girl crayons' due to their stick shape.
And for her signature, rosy blush, her makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez, recently divulged that she uses two types of Armani Beauty products on the singer.
Per Who What Wear, Gonzalez uses the Armani $39 Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Blush in the shade Delicate Mauve or Bold Pink, along with the brand's $40 Luminous Silk Glow Blush in Ectatsy or Amore.
Her eye makeup is simple, and she jokes she used to wear too much eyeliner on the waterline
The artist usually wears a sparkling eyeshadow complete with a highlight in the inner corners to really make them pop, but she didn't always used to do this.
In her Vogue video, Carpenter admitted that she used to go a little too overboard with the black eyeliner under her waterline.
'I used to wear way too much eyeliner in the waterline, I think there's a time and a place for it, it might be in this video, but when I was 12, it was not the time and place for it,' she told viewers.
Give your lids the same sparkling treatment Sabrina loves! Pillow Talk contains the best quad of nude pink hues around, including shimmery and matte shades that are made to last.
In terms of eyeshadow, Carpenter sometimes reaches for the $55 Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eye Palette in the shade Pillow Talk, which comes with four colors - a light, bronze-y pink, a shimmering pink, matte blush shade, and matte brown.
She shared how she uses the palette in a 2024 TikTok video with Allure, explaining that she will first take the brown color and blend it into her crease.
And sometimes, instead of eyeliner, she'll take a dark eyeshadow color and blend it at top of her lash line.
Carpenter tops everything off with mascara, and then a few individual false lashes, as she did in the Vogue clip.
Carpenter's signature lip look is super high-end
The singer is known for her mauve-colored, pink-nude lip color with a dramatic liner, which she rarely changes up.
Sabrina's wild about Prada's best-selling lipstick, layering Tiepolo (B101) — a creamy peach — with a hint of the brand's Alabaster (B11) in the center.
To complete her luxe lip look, Sabrina tops it all off with this fun balm in Astral Pink. It adapts to her natural pH to deliver a completely natural shade!
When she wore the look to the 2025 Grammy Awards, it was confirmed that the star used the luxe Prada Beauty to get the perfect color.
She wore the $50 Prada Monochrome Lipstick B101 Tiepolo with the color B11 Alabaster in the center, complete with their $50 Prada Balm in U001 Astral Pink.
Carpenter is also a fan of good old fashioned Aquaphor Healing Oinment, which is less than $10 at the drugstore.
