Sabrina Carpenter on DIY Facials, Soap Brows, and Perfectly Precise Eyeliner (2024)

What's up Vogue, it's Sabrina Carpenter,

and I'm going to take you guys through my skincare routine

and my night time stage look makeup.

Oh goodness gracious, where do we begin?

The way that I like to set the tone, the mood,

I like to make sure we've got good vibes,

good healthy vibes,

and drinking ice cold water

with lemon every morning

has been a very very big staple in my life

to make me feel like I'm awake, I'm alert.

To wake up my skin,

kind of get the blood pumping and flowing,

I like to do a little ice cube facial.

So I basically will just take a few ice cubes,

wrap them in a little paper towel,

and then I kinda just lightly glaze it over my skin

and it's gonna get really red.

This just something that I've always kinda taken with me

because ice cubes are pretty easy to find

so it's something that I can always just count on

to be there if I don't have anything else.

And then I can start with my actual routine.

I'm a very very big fan of sheet masks.

These are really great,

this is a super hydrating mask.

But first I'm going to put my hair up.

Those are the eyes, okay.

This is gonna look really cute.

I've been on a lot of planes

so I definitely started to do sheet masks on long flights,

like international flights,

I would always do a sheet mask

and I think the funniest thing

is stepping out of the airplane bathroom

and just kinda strutting down the runway

of people that are like really terrified

of why you look like the way that you do.

But it's fine, 'cause at the end of the day,

my skin is gonna look good and that's all that matters.

But I usually keep them on for like five to 10 minutes.

Ooh, she's a newborn baby.

Okay, then I just massage it into my skin.

It's very dewy.

I'm gonna wanna wash it off

'cause there's a lot on right now.

So I basically go to my cleanser

which is this AHA/BHA blemish control cleanser,

'cause she's a young woman with hormones that are raging.

And so I'm going to go wet my face.

Going to apply, whoop.

And now I'm gonna wash it off.

Okay, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab.

Okay great.

Step two in SC's skincare routine is her toner.

Just a little bit.

I basically started to get really into skincare

when I was 15 'cause I was working on set of a movie.

They used a foundation on me

that actually had metals in it

and I'm allergic to metal.

I then kind of experienced eczema

for the first time which is hot

and then I went to an aesthetician

and was able to kinda really understand

what was great for my skin,

what wasn't great for my skin.

And ever since then,

it's honestly been so therapeutic

to be able to I guess just have a routine

every morning and every night before I go to bed

and feel super clean

and feel like I'm putting good things on my skin

that are gonna protect it for a long time.

Then I like to apply my vitamin C treatment

which is basically a little morning moisturizer.

And most of the time I will mix this with my sunscreen.

So I make sure I put that on everyday

'cause I'm iridescent,

the sun and I have an interesting relationship.

We have to make sure that we protect our skin.

I use this eye cream which is super nice,

the Algenist eye cream.

I guess it's an eye renewal balm.

Someone told me that I have to use this finger,

they it's the most gentle finger.

So you just gotta like not rub too harsh

and then you just wanna pat it in softly under your eye.

But my under eyes have always been pretty under control

so I think I just started to do this eye renewal balm

as a more preventative thing for the future.

The last thing I like to do before I start my makeup routine

is I like to take my Glossier Birthday Balm Dotcom.

This stuff smells so good.

I love it so much,

it literally smells like a cake

and I wanna eat it every time

but I don't recommend that.

Basically, I use this toothbrush every morning

to just like scrub all the dead skin off my lips.

Okay.

It also just makes my lips

look like I just applied 10 lbs of lipstick,

so that's kinda nice.

Another thing that I also love to use just in general,

I'm a big fan of essential oils.

I've always kinda been taking them with me on the road.

This one is peppermint,

so it's super strong but I put it on the back of my neck

sometimes I will put it right here.

Sometimes I put it on my temples

but I'm not gonna do that today.

And then I'll put it on my wrist.

Inhale very deeply and it's very strong

but it makes me feel great.

This is maybe my favorite thing

that I've found ever possibly.

See the thing is, is like I found it

and then TikTok found it

and then the rest of the world found it.

So maybe it's not a secret anymore.

But one day I was just strolling through Sephora

and I saw this Brazilian Bum Bum cream

and I was like that's funny.

But it smells like heaven,

so now I kind of just use it as my, I don't know,

it's like a perfume, it's a moisturizer,

it's a multitude of things.

You're supposed to put it on your butt,

but I like to apply it on my neck

'cause it feels like a natural perfume

and it always just smells really divine.

Okay, so last little thing before I start my makeup

is this rose quartz facial sculptor.

I really love how it looks,

it's literally just a little heart and it's rose quartz.

And I love rose quartz

and I have rose quartz next to my bed.

But because my face is already moisturized

and has different products on it

this kinda glides on pretty easily.

Also something to get the blood flowing.

So that is pretty much my skincare routine

especially in the morning.

And then I go into starting my makeup.

This is my favorite rose water.

But I love rose water, makes me feel like I just,

not that I didn't just prep my skin enough,

but this is just an extra on top because we can be.

First, I like to apply my Pat McGrath concealer.

Blend it in.

I started wearing makeup from a very young age

because I was in dance recitals

my whole life basically with my sisters

and my mom was a dancer growing up,

so she basically taught us how to do stage makeup.

So I started wearing a lot of makeup

and then over the years,

I've kinda progressed into learning

from different makeup artists that I work with and love

and I think that that's how I've kinda been able

to find my staple routine and what works for me really well.

So yeah, it's definitely changed a lot over the years.

I used to wear way too much eyeliner in the water line.

I think there's a time and a place for it,

it might be in this video,

but when I was 12, it was not the time and place for it.

Now, it's a little quirky,

I like to mix two different products.

I like to mix this Tom Ford foundation stick

with this Cle de Peau radiant cream foundation.

There's also sunscreen in this

which is great so just in case I forget.

These are just crayons, these are just big girl crayons.

That's how I see it.

So I like to blend it in with this.

So then I blend it up into my forehead,

my five head.

Going to blend it also up into my eyes a little bit

just to create a natural eye primer if you will,

'cause I don't have eye primer so we're cheating.

All right, I think the skin is pretty,

pretty solid looking today.

I'm telling you, it's the ice water with lemon,

does it all.

What do they tell ya about clear skin,

just drink some water.

I don't know if that's true so don't quote me on that.

Next, I like to get into the bronze of it all.

I use this little fluffy brush

and I just go in right on my cheekbones.

It'll be funny, like especially during La Pandemic,

there's been days where I don't have much to do

and I'll just come down to the kitchen

with a full face of makeup.

My mom's like where you going?

I'm like, nowhere, just had to feel alive today.

So it's definitely a therapeutic thing for me.

Okay, so now, that looks decent, right?

I try to tell myself that.

Okay, yeah.

I love love love,

my favorite thing of the summer I think has become blush.

This is a dark cream blush

that I like to put here,

a little bit on the tip of the nose

so I look like I just went to the beach

even though I never do.

There's something really really nice

about the way that your fingers create a natural look,

like the makeup just kinda melts into your skin

so I do like to use my fingers,

after I've washed them.

Wash your hands by the way.

The next thing I love to do

is create a little bit of a glow.

I love to use this Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation Illuminator

and I just put it on the high points.

As you can see,

it looks like I really just dunked my face in glaze.

Now we're gonna go into brows

which I use the soap brows.

So I basically take this little prep mist,

spritz it into the soap box tin,

and then I just get it all over the brush,

the little spooly.

As you can see it just kind of like acts as soap does.

Groundbreaking.

This is what we call it.

Yeah, I haven't done this too many times yet,

because I'm afraid of messing up.

But the thing is, is like you can't really mess up

'cause my brows at the end of the day

are always gonna look super thick.

They're not looking too shabby today

so I'm just gonna sort of keep them there.

Now we're gonna go in with eyeshadow.

I'm gonna start with this natural color.

Okay, so for this look,

I'm gonna take a little bit of a darker color

and kinda blend it on the outside.

So I'm gonna take this dark color and blend it.

I learned after awhile of other people doing my liner

that I really only like starting

from the middle and moving outwards

because for my eye shape,

it creates just more of a cat eye definition

really I really personally like.

So I do the same thing with my eye shadow.

So I like to bring this down into the bottom

just smooth it out a little.

Okay, so that's pretty subtle.

I'm getting there still.

Okay kids, it's time for the eyeliner.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for.

So I'm gonna start very subtle in the corner.

And then I also like to bring it into the corner of my eye

when we're doing a little bit of darker graphic look.

There's that side.

I like to follow with the shape of my eye

which goes a little bit downwards.

So this is kinda the shape that we get from the liner.

Mmhmm, okay.

So now we go in with our mascara.

I like to add a little bit more to the eyes later

but I'm gonna start by doing mascara now.

Again, with mascara,

I also like to sort of really define the ends of my lashes

as opposed to doing too heavy of mascara all around.

I really sound like I know what I'm saying,

but honestly I just kinda apply things

until I think that they don't look bad.

So this look, I'm also gonna do it on the bottom lashes

but usually most of the time, I don't.

So I guess we're really spicing it up today.

So the lashes are there.

You can see it, I can see it, we can all see it.

Take a pencil, put it in the water line up top

'cause we learned our lesson from when we were young.

Think I'm gonna do a little on the bottom.

Ooh, she's got blue eyes, you see that?

Crazy.

Okay, I'm just gonna add a little bit

more of like a light luminescent color here.

Wow, I really look like I'm going to the club

and the club hasn't been open in quite a few months.

Okay, now we're going to focus on lashes

and I love these little individuals.

These have also made my life a lot harder

'cause I use to just apply them with my fingers

and then these came into the picture.

And these are a full personality change

but they don't allow me

to do a lot of things like apply single lashes,

so I'm gonna use my tweezers.

So as you can see, I took some longer lashes

and I put them on the edges of my eyes

and then I take this little short baby one

and I put it right in the middle of my eye

where the line from my eyeliner begins

to just kinda blend it

and it kind of looks like it just flows

really naturally into one continuous shape.

And I don't put it any further

than the middle of my eyelashes.

I just if anything,

blend it out with a little bit more mascara

to create volume there.

They just add a little, a little something,

you know, kids at home.

I think after lashes all we really have is lips

which is pretty crazy.

One little trick that one of my makeup artists taught me

is to sort of just like prep the shape of the lips

and make them look a little bit fuller,

a little bit poutier,

is you kinda take a little bit of bronzer

and a little tiny thin brush

and you just sort of over line the edge of your lip,

kinda brush it out.

Makes it look a little bit fuller

without even applying anything yet.

Do the same thing on the bottom.

I love the neutral kind of peachy lip tones.

I also like this color of lip liner.

So most of the time,

it's like finding a lip that will just compliment the liner

and I can just kinda dab it all in together.

The last thing I'll say is when I'm on stage,

I try not to wear lip gloss

because I'm the type of singer

that really likes to eat my microphone

and I don't mean that literally

but like sing very close to my microphone.

So I've had some horror stories

where my lipstick has ended up all over my face

which is why I've learned my lesson

and now I sort of just stick with matte products

that I know are gonna stay still.

Okay, one of the last steps for my makeup routine

is my very obvious favorite Dior Glow Backstage face pallet.

I use this all the time.

I kinda use all the colors,

I don't know if you're supposed to do that

but I do it.

I just put it all over.

And now that the eyelashes are dry,

I just have to make sure there's no excess glue.

Whoop, that's a smokey eye.

And then, I use By The Fireplace by Margiela.

Oh my gosh, it smells so good.

Smelling good is important.

I'm just gonna put that out there.

And then I guess the last thing I do is let my hair down.

Run a brush through it.

I really do like my hair pretty naturally messy usually

unless I'm doing a very specific look.

But usually like to keep it pretty voluminous over here.

And then we put on clothes and we're out the door

in a usual setting.

So this is my final look.

I hope you guys like it.

It's a great look for a night on the town

which I'm not gonna be doing anytime soon,

but I hope you guys like this video.
