Every now and then, the internet, namely TikTok, introduces us to a new face who changes the way we do our hair and makeup. Hailey Bieber introduced us to glazed doughnut skin, Molly Mae inspired us to try Lady Gaga's foundation and Matilda Djerf had us swapping our usual bedhead hair for a bouncy blow dry. Recently though attention has turned to a different beauty - introducing Sabrina Carpenter.
The singer and actress may have found fame as a teenager on the Disney channel but these days her child status has been swapped for beauty icon. From hervoluminous blowouts, fluffy brows, and iridescent blush, Carpenter’s signature look - we're calling her a Bardot Bratz Doll, in a good way - has sparked domino effect of makeup copycats. The reason? The star, and Barry Keoghan's rumoured squeeze, puts a refreshing spin on old school 'doll' glamour, and makes it super easy to achieve. It's no wonder that thousands of fans are taking to TikTok to recreate her signature makeup looks, affectionately dubbing her the 'Polly Pocket Queen,' 'The Barbie,' or 'The Chloe Bratz Doll.'
Need further proof that she's a Gen-Z beauty icon? Just when you thought food-inspired beauty had faded, Sabrina has single-handedly revived the espresso makeup trend with her latest single, 'Espresso', because let's face it, you're not really a Gen-Z icon until you've got a tasty beauty trend attributed to you. Picture dreamy summer vibes - rich, warm-toned browns and radiant, sun-kissed skin. On the topic of food, the star has even dipped her toes into the world of fragrance, with her debut scent Sweet Tooth, born out of her love for deserts.
'Everyone knows that I have a serious sweet tooth, which was the inspiration for the scent. It's sweet yet sophisticated, with notes of ginger, marshmallow, coconut milk, sugared musks, and Chantilly cream', said Sabrina.
Her captivating Coachellastage look has become the most recent talking point, reminiscent of the 90s era. Picture plump espresso lips, flushed cheeks, and her impeccable honey blonde blowout with bangs. Happily, Sabrina's makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez, has been keeping us updated with the beauty secrets.

I'll be honest, when I first encountered this perfume, I was a bit apprehensive. I have this irrational fear of sickly sweet scents, and I was worried this would be one of them. But boy, was I pleasantly surprised! Instead of overpowering sweetness, I was greeted by a delightful warm vanilla fragrance, with a hint of musk in the dry down (totally unexpected, but in the best way). For the price, this perfume is an absolute steal. It complements my other fragrances perfectly and stands strong on its own. Needless to say, it's earned a permanent spot on my shelf. I’ll be spritzing this well into the summer. Sabrina says she carries the travel size option everywhere she goes.
