Sabrina Carpenter’s 20 Best Beauty Looks of All Time

From her early acting days on Disney’s Girl Meets World to the stage of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, Sabrina Carpenter has slowly taken over our TVs, playlists, and social media feeds. Her brand and charisma have brought the internet a semblance of nostalgic peace in knowing that traditional pop stars still exist. People have gone as far as to say she is reminiscent of OG pop icons like Brittany Spears and the Spice Girls.

As her career exponentially grows, she never leaves us wanting more from her beauty looks. In terms of hair, Carpenter has established her signature icy blonde bangs and ’90s bouncy blowout. But when it comes to makeup, she isn’t afraid to spice things up. For example, Carpenter loves to surprise us with a bold lip or a smokey eye, making it all the more exciting every time she steps out.

Below, we’ve rounded up 20 of our favorite Sabrina Carpenter beauty looks that should go down in the history books (or at least get added to your Pinterest board).

Classic Smokey Eye

At the 2024 Met Gala, Carpenter graced the red carpet wearing a classic smokey eye. As a nod to the light blue train of her Oscar De La Renta gown, she added a touch of icy blue shimmer to the inner corners. But her glam did not stop there. To add even more dimension, she placed lash extensions on the outer corners of her eyes for a subtle statement.

Cherry Red Lip

Red lips aren’t the norm for Carpenter, but based on this photo there’s no reason they shouldn’t be. She clearly pulls off this bright cherry red. While the lip is truly the centerpiece of this look, it’s complemented by her effortless beach waves and peach blush.

Bold Eyebrow & Lip

Opting for a more neutral eyeshadow and winged liner, this look stands out amongst Carpenter’s typical glam. The deeper lip tint and subtle blush are examples of her versatility in the beauty space. We love how she typically pairs back her looks for red carpets and leaves the show-stopping looks for headlining concerts.

Rainbow Shadow

Carpenter can do it all, and this rainbow eyeshadow for the 2021 Glaad Awards proves it. The neutral pink lip gloss allows her colorful lids to be the star of the look, making her makeup feel more intentional and controlled.

Rosy Cheeks

Carpenter does not shy away from an eye-catching blush, especially if the occasion calls for it. At the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards she paired her rosy cheeks with a glowy bronzed complexion. The dewy look played well with her signature dark nude lips. Want to recreate it at home? Start with a dark lip liner, layer on nude lipstick, and top it off with a clear gloss.

Bold Eyeliner

While Carpenter typically goes for a bouncy blowout and rosy cheeks, this slick look, with natural brown accents, leaves us envious of her versatility. At the 2022 Fashion Awards in London, Carpenter stepped out of her typical color palette and brought us one of her most iconic beauty looks to date. Golden, bronzed, and sophisticated come to mind, as we appreciate this look in all its glory.

Pink Dreams

True to her performance makeup preference, Carpenter opted for a full pink palette to match her hot pink costume for Lollapalooza 2023. She stuck with her signature nude lip but kept the rest of the look blushing and glowy. This look ensured the stage lights caught her cheekbones at every angle.

Sophisticated Neutral

This makeup look feels paired down for Carpenter but not any less glamorous. Her contoured eyeshadow and matte nude lip take a more sophisticated approach to her typical glam. We’re here for every second of it.

Pop of Red

At this year’s Vogue World, Carpenter walked the runway rocking a bold red lip and rosy cheek. The whole look felt very ’60s, especially with the over-the-head bandana. The bold lip color was a shift for Carpenter, but not a bad one. We wouldn’t hate seeing her wear this color combo more often.

Matte Lip

Carpenter’s dark nude matte lip is a perfect addition to her brown smokey eyeshadow. Worn to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, this was the ideal glam for a red carpet. It felt distinct from her stage makeup, sophisticated, but still fun.

Jingle Ball Jam

At the 2023 iHeart Jingle Ball show, Carpenter went for a silver glitter eyeshadow to compliment her ensemble for the set. She topped it off with a smudged black winged eyeliner to accentuate her blue eyes and her classic nude lip.

Winter Glam

Hello, rosy cheekbones! For Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in 2023, Carpenter embraced the winter chill with a heavy layer of blush to give her cheeks an extra flushed finish. How she kept her lips glossy throughout the performance in below-freezing temperatures, we will never understand.

Shimmering Pink

Light pink and other pastel hues seem to be a fallback palette for Carpenter. They always seem to compliment her outfit and complexion. As she walked the red carpet at the iHeart Radio Jingle Ball, in December 2023, she went for a full monochromatic pink look, matching her eyeshadow, blush, and outfit.

Rosy Glow

For the 2024 Grammy after-party, Carpenter went for her classic makeup, complete with a bronzed complexion, rosy cheek, nude lip, and bold brow. While she’s not afraid to step out of the box, she consistently falls back to this combination.

Pink Glam

For the 2022 Venice Film Festival, Carpenter opted for a bold parallel winged eyeliner that made her blue eyes pop. Her bangs were styled to mimic the angles of the black strokes which feels like the center-point of this whole look.

Cinderella Sparkle

This old Hollywood look falls under Carpenter’s classic glam. She paired her glowy complexion with a light blue mini dress and bouncy blowout that felt vaguely reminiscent of Cinderella.

Freckles and Fun

Carpenter was quick to embrace the fake freckle trend. Here she can be seen rocking it for Paris Fashion Week 2023. The freckles are the hallmark of this look which makes it stand out from her typical glam. The neutral eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and neutral lips all contribute to this fresh, minimalistic vibe.

Art Deco Eyeshadow

This abstract eyeshadow and eyeliner combo immediately stands out. Since Carpenter is a mainstay for Paris Fashion Week year after year, she’s always finding ways to keep her looks fresh for each event and she never disappoints. Her double-winged eyeliner feels perfectly on theme for a high-fashion event.

Peach Eyeshadow

We don’t see Carpenter wear peach tones on her eyes often, but she makes it work. The color choice accentuates her blue due to the orange undertones. When matched with a neutral blush and lip combo, this look feels like a slight upgrade from her typical beauty moments.

Eyeshadow Wing

The final beauty moment that feels like a standout look for Carpenter was her glam for the Vanity Fair Makeup Artistry Dinner. Here, she opted for sparkling eyeshadow and smudged winged eyeliner. She didn’t pair this look with a pink blush, but rather a neutral highlight and her go-to nude lip.
