Sabrina Carpenter is a woman of many talents, and her inclination for a strong blush look is one of them.
The Espresso singer (and Grammy winner) embraces all things vintage, pin-up babydoll-esque — fluffy blonde bangs, sequins, hyper-glossy lips and that signature Sabrina Carpenter pink blush. But what is she using? What’s her shade combo, and how does she ensure it stays on all night long?
Luckily the internet has clues, and her go-to makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez, is also forthcoming when it comes to Miss Carpenter’s favourite blush combination…
Sabrina Carpenter’s pink blush of choice
Carpenter is a pink girl, usually a bright, cool shade of bubblegum. Sometimes she’ll lean into red or peach, but pink is the signature. According to Instagram, she most commonly wears Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tints and the powdered Glow Blush. She’s also shared on TikTok that she’s a fan of Makeup by Mario’s Soft pop formula in Rose Crush.

Think about placement
Carpenter’s blush is always concentrated across the entire apple of her cheeks (the fleshy part), gently blended under the eyes and towards the temples. According to TikTok, her makeup artist will often layer Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in Shade 53 and 62 for a dimensional finish. Fingers or a brush will work, just be sure to buff out any harsh lines.
Finish with a highlighter
For a glossy, reflective finish, Gonzalez recommends humble Aquaphor. The Healing Balm Stick offers nothing but pure, clear hydration for shine that won’t interfere with blush pigment. It’s apparently what Carpenter used last night at the Grammy’s. Tap it onto the high points, like the cheek bones and bridge of the nose.
