Sabrina Carpenter Traded Hot Espresso for a Frosty Makeup Look—See the Photos

Sabrina Carpenter is cooling things down for 2025… well, sort of. The “Espresso” singer kicked off the new year snow-bunny style, deviating from her signature bombshell hair and makeup formula with frosted eyes and loose waves even Elsa would envy.

Carpenter spent some of her holiday break hitting the slopes with friends, and when she wasn’t bundled up in a white snowsuit, she was all glammed up like an ice queen, essentially trading her hot espresso for something much chillier. Most notable was her eye shadow: a frosty, metallic white that she wore concentrated on her outer lids and inner corners for an effortlessly cool impact. (Pun intended.) To let the silvery shade really sparkle, Carpenter skipped eyeliner and looked to be wearing almost no mascara at all, aligning with the current trending movement to skip mascara even in full glam.

The musician swapped her voluminous blonde blowout for her natural waves, as she often does in her downtime. (She did give them a brief moment in the spotlight on the red carpet in 2024, however!) Her hair was parted in the center and pulled back in a low knot, with her curtain bangs curling up on either side of her forehead for an undone softness.

One element of her look that did stay the same was her blush. Carpenter’s flushed, baby-pink cheeks are an essential piece of her onstage look, and the musician opted for a peachy-pink color combo applied to her upper cheekbones, plus a touch of highlighter for extra radiance and shimmer. Her lips, too, were the same pinky-brown shade she typically favors, probably a color from Prada Beauty. Even her nails were Elsa-fied, starting with a sheer, shiny base and ending in silvery chrome French tips. If she pointed her finger and turned every surface around her into ice, we’d be zero percent surprised.
