If you caught the low-key glam vibes at the Variety Hitmakers summit in LA, you might have noticed pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter setting a fresh tone with her beauty game. Known for her "Short n’ Sweet" aesthetic, Sabrina turned the page on Saturday, embracing a minimalistic no-makeup makeup look that signaled a new chapter in her career. With Carolina Gonzalez, her go-to makeup artist, by her side, Sabrina rocked a look that whispered elegance.
Gone were the days of powder blues and lavender eye shadow – on the Hitmakers stage, Sabrina's eyes were au naturel, only dressed up with some mascara and a hint of gold shimmer. This look championed the no-makeup makeup trend, where the goal is to enhance the skin with the barest touch. Although Carpenter’s cheeks were touched by Gonzalez’s signature liberal use of blush, the freckles on Sabrina’s face were the real MVP. To top it off, her lips donned a chic rose taupe hue. Her Variety cover mirrored this minimalist aesthetic, with her full, medium brown brows grabbing attention against her bare eyes.
“Write what speaks to you, write something that only you can write. Write the music you want to listen to yourself," Sabrina advised, inspiring budding artists at the summit. "Add the weird chord progression and key change, and call men stupid in as many ways as you can.”
Not only did Sabrina nail the beauty department, but she also turned heads with her fashion choice. Draped in a vintage spring 2003 Ralph Lauren patchwork gown, she completed the look with softer, more organic waves – a stark departure from her iconic "Short n’ Sweet" blowouts. Collaborating with hairstylists Evanie Frausto and Marin, Sabrina's new hairstyle fell gracefully, enhancing the vintage vibe.
Taking the stage to accept her Hitmaker of the Year award, Sabrina didn't just stop at serving looks. Her speech was a rallying cry for young artists to embrace their uniqueness and creativity. Sabrina's words underlined her commitment to authenticity and originality, encouraging everyone to trust their creative instincts.
The Variety Hitmakers summit was a star-studded affair, with Addison Rae also in attendance. She was seen engaging in conversation with Grammy-nominated Alex Warren, exuding SoCal vibes with her soft waves styled by the talented Clayton Hawkins. The event, sponsored by TikTok, brought together a tapestry of talent, each with their unique touch of LA charm.
