It seems, Sabrina Carpenter can do no wrong in our eyes. Especially when it comes to what products she puts on her eyes.
While we’ve been obsessed with her playful pops of blush and debated (for legit hours) in the office over what lip combo she is using (you can find out all the deets on her must-have makeup here), we still haven’t nailed just how to recreate that doll-inspired eye look she has become renowned for.
That was until Amazon Prime Day came along and threw a whole load of our fave eye makeup products into its mega sale.
We know that during Prime Day rummaging through the whole Amazon site to find exactly what you’re after can be harder than finding “the one” on Hinge... Which is why we’ve done all the work for you and scoured Amazon for the key products you need to recreate Sabrina Carpenter’s dreamy eye makeup look.
Keep scrolling for the low-down on how we’d use each product, as well as all the discounts you’ll want to snap up while the Prime deals are still live. The sale ends at midnight, ppl, so we advise you move fast to secure the goods.
First things first, you’ll want to prep your lid to create an even base and eradicate any redness. While there are heaps of eyeshadow primers out there, we personally believe you can't go wrong with a trusty concealer all over the lid.
This Maybelline product is an OG for good reason, and we love the coverage pay-off for such a lightweight formula. Just remember to set it with some translucent powder and you’re ready for the fun stuff...
Speaking of setting, do we need to remind you that as well as mega makeup deals Amazon also has all the beauty kit you could possibly need to achieve a Sabrina-inspired smokey eye look. Yep, right now you can grab some of our favourite branded brushes for some serious £££ off.
Real Techniques Everyday Eye Essentials 8-Piece Eyeshadow Brush Set
This Real Techniques set comes complete with 8 (!) different brushes – from a fluffy one to use in the crease to fine liner designs, and even a lash separator. We’re a sucker for the shiny pink finish on these bad boys, too.
Before we get into the smokey corner our gal Sab adores, it’s probs best to sweep the lid with a wash of colour all-over. We particularly rate Revlon’s Color Stay cream eye shadows (which are now 16% off for Prime Day) to give a hit of shimmer without making the eye look too glittery. We think SC would approve of this neutral Crème Brulee shade, also.
Now it’s finally time for things to get a little smokey. Yep, we all know Sabrina loves a sultry smoked-out wing, and we’re totally here for it. The key is to build up intensity in the outer corner slowly – you know, so you don’t look like you’ve got a black eye.
Another beauty-editor favourite, Urban Decay’s Naked 2 Palette, is also on sale this Prime Day, and has all the matte shades you need to perfect Miss Carpenter’s feline look.
Start with the lighter brown tones before adding the darkest shade into the very outer corner and crease. Then blend, blend and blend some more. You can always go in with a makeup wipe and more of your Maybelline concealer to clean up any fall-out.
To really amp up the attitude, you’ll want to add a kohl black pencil to your upper lid’s tightline.
Then use a white eyeliner pencil on your bottom tightline to achieve that wide-awake, doll-like appearance.
For bonus Sabrina Carpenter lookalike points, add a touch of shimmery highlight to the inner corner and right on your brow bone. We love this creamy stick that's on sale RN for getting right into those hard-to-reach areas.
No Sabrina Carpenter eye makeup look would be complete without the singerrrr’s (say it how you would sing it, ladies) now iconic catwing eyeliner. Her feline flicks are always on point so we find a pen-style tip is easier than a brush.
Last but not least, finish off with a couple coatings of mascara. We have a sneaky suspicion Sabrina usually wears some falsies, or at least gets a lash lift every now and then. But personally, we think this best-selling Maybelline mascara does the same job without the salon appointment. Now it’s over 50% off, we’ll be stocking up!
You’re all set. Just remember Sabrina’s most important advice to not let anyone bring you to tears now you’ve done your makeup so nice!
