The Exact Blush Sabrina Carpenter Uses For Her Trademark Rosy Cheeks
Apart from creating earworms we simply can't get enough of — yes, we're thinking about you, "Espresso" — Sabrina Carpenter also mesmerizes us with her coquette makeup. The star has been in the spotlight a lot lately thanks to her incredible style, but we're here to highlight her makeup, too, which is why we simply had to figure out what her go-to products were.
Luckily, we didn't have to scour the internet for long, as the answer was readily available on her makeup artist's Instagram. Celebrating the singer's appearance on "Saturday Night Live," Carolina Gonzalez — who has also worked with legends like Demi Moore, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Gigi Hadid — shared a detailed description of the makeup products she uses on Carpenter.
Now, while we're tempted to go over every single makeup item the star uses, we're going to focus on blush since it's always the cherry on top of the musician's stunning makeup. According to Gonzalez, Carpenter's rosy cheeks are achieved by using two Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tints, one in the shade 53 Bold Pink and the other in 62 Delicate Mauve. But how can you wear them like Carpenter?
How to wear blush like Sabrina Carpenter
Beauty influencer Rose Siard shared a video on TikTok detailing how to replicate those iconic Sabrina Carpenter cheeks. In addition to having the exact products she uses, nailing the application plays a major role in your outcome. Siard first applied shade 53 high on her cheekbones and very close to her nose. After blending it, she added shade 62 lower and closer to her temples, creating that perfect "I am naturally blushing" look. "What makes Sabrina's blush so pretty is, well, obviously, Sabrina. But the second thing is those transitions," Siard explained in her tutorial.

Once you're satisfied with the blush, you can gently set it in place. Carpenter's makeup artist uses the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Setting Powder in shade 4. Of course, no matter what setting powder you use, just make sure you apply it lightly so you don't accidentally cover up the intensity of the blush. You want to be able to see the rosiness from far away.
What does Sabrina Carpenter use when she does her own makeup?
While it's clear that Sabrina Carpenter adores the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tints combo, it would be silly of us to assume that she never explores other blush options. And indeed, after taking a look at her social media, we came across a TikTok video of her doing her own makeup for a Buenos Aires, Argentina, show on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.

In the video, Carpenter — the tour's opening act for its Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil dates — can be seen using Makeup by Mario's Soft Pop Plumping Blush in the shade Rose Crush (Spiced Rose), a fan-favorite blush due to its creaminess and blend-ability. Carpenter generously applied the blush with a brush over the high points of her cheeks, as well as the bridge of her nose, ensuring she achieved her signature youthful and healthy look.
