Local Products to Use to Get that Sabrina Carpenter Glow

We can’t relate to not having Sabrina Carpenter living rent-free in our heads 24/7! Her catchy tunes and witty lyrics are on a perpetual loop in our thoughts. But there’s one more thing that we can’t get enough of: her beauty looks. From her perfect hair down to her makeup, every time she makes a public appearance or she feeds us with her latest digital footprint in the form of a photoshoot, all the beauty girlies are all clamoring to make a video or write about how to re-create her look or find out the exact products that were used. 

The beauty wizard behind Sabrina’s looks, makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez, who also paints the faces of Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, and Demi Moore to name a few, often breaks down the products she uses for the looks in her IG posts. But of course, the products that she mentions might not be as accessible to us. So I’ve made it a mission to find out exactly how we can recreate the look using local products– ones that you might already have in your makeup bag or are more readily available for purchase (not to mention less stress on the wallet too!).

This writer and lover of Sabrina Carpenter is dedicated to finding out the anatomy of what makes her makeup so hypnotizingly good. So for this makeup 101, we’re concentrating on arguably the most searched keyword of her beauty looks: the glowy blush.

So we’ve enlisted the expertise of a beauty virtuoso who knows all about achieving healthy-looking glowy cheeks, pro makeup artist, Thazzia Falek. Her star-studded clientele includes Bianca Umali, Ruru Madrid, BJ Pascual, and internet darling, Mimiyuuuh. She does TV advertising, print, and editorial makeup artistry so she knows a thing or two about making makeup look good both in person and in front of the camera.

Read on as Thazzia breaks down the DNA of Sabrina’s iconic blush look, what products to use to re-create the look and even a step-by-step guide!
