THERE’S SOMETHING that’s been bothering us since Sabrina Carpenter’s Saturday Night Live appearance.
No, it’s not about the way she struts around in block heels or how perfectly she dances in a cocktail bar.
We are addicted to That blushing look.

While most Espresso The singer’s beauty fanfare has surrounded her hair, it’s the cotton candy pink, overzealously applied blusher that sets the Awesome office talk.
Shortly after her SNL During her appearance, makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez revealed all the products she used to create Sabrina’s look — including that holy blush — causing a stir on social media.
But we were dying to discover the blushers the singer swears by, so here they are…
Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint

Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Paint, £36
From Sabrina’s Coachella performances to her red carpet moments, it seems like MUA Carolina Gonzalez almost always opts for Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint.
Following Sabrina’s SNL During her performance, Coralina revealed that she had applied shades 53, a candy pink, and 62, a dark pink, creating a sculpted, three-dimensional look that accentuated Sabrina’s cheekbones.
According to John Lewis, the blush sold out quickly after its release in May, with searches on the store’s website increasing ninefold that month.

Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Makeup, £30
We love Sabrina’s kitschy red carpet looks—courtesy of her glam squad—but she’s pretty good at DIY, too.
In a GRWM video For the Buenos Aires leg of the Eras Tour, Sabrina Makeup By Mario applies Soft Pop Plumping Blush to her cheeks.
Easy to blend and build, this cream blush can be applied to cheeks with your fingers or applied to skin with a brush.
In most of her blush looks, Sabrina tends to opt for warmer, deeper clay pink tones – and her favorite Makeup By Mario shade is Rose love.

The blush Sabrina used in the Espresso video clip is quite bizarre.
If you’ve ever watched beauty videos on social media, you’re familiar with the wobbliest makeup product: Milk Makeup Jelly Tint.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, MUA Lea Darcy Sabrina’s Remade Espresso Look, she shows off the products she uses in the singer’s music video.
First, she applied the jelly blush to her cheeks, then followed with Milk Make-up Lip + Cheek, a multi-purpose blush balm.
This created depth and dimension and accentuated the pigment of this otherwise sheer and dewy blush look.

Nars Blush, £34
We thought Sabrina preferred liquid blush, until we noticed this video.
Sabrina applies Nars Blush to her cheeks and across the bridge of her nose, explaining that this is her favorite trick for getting a radiant, sun-kissed look.
Powder blushes can be messier and harder to build than liquid blushes, but their easy-to-blend formulas make them a makeup bag essential. Just ask Sabrina.
She uses the color Dolce Vita, a warm clay pink shade, which you can also apply to your eyelids for an ultimate groomed look.
