A quick scroll through TikTok will tell you that the signature doll-like makeup seen on Sabrina Carpenter is a popular source of inspiration. In case you’d like to go straight to the source, Carpenter has shared her favorite makeup products to use.
Along with generous blush (she’s worn Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Blush in 51 in the past) a glowy base is a key element in Carpenter’s usual makeup look, and the singer has shared her go-to complexion products. In a video shared in 2020 of her 10-minute makeup routine for Allure, Carpenter demonstrates how she applies her foundation and concealer—and the products are still solid options to this day.
In the video, Carpenter shares that she prefers to apply her concealer before her foundation, using a light touch with each. She first reaches for Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer ($33), applying it to her under eyes, forehead, nose bridge, and the creases around her nose. The longwear concealer provides medium to full coverage, and is formulated to provide a “blurring effect” on skin.
Next, Carpenter uses a beauty sponge to simultaneously apply NARS Sheer Glow Foundation ($48) and blend out her concealer. “Over the years I’ve tried a lot of foundations, and I really like this NARS Sheer Glow Foundation,” she explains. “It just works for me and my skin.”
One of NARS’ best-sellers, the Sheer Glow Foundation is lightweight for a finish that’s natural and glowy. The foundation contains ingredients with skin-care benefits like hydrating glycerin and brightening vitamin C. It’s quite possible that Carpenter first discovered the product while having her makeup done before an event or shoot, as it’s particularly popular with makeup artists. The experts particularly love the foundation for those with mature skin or dry skin.
