If you couldn't keep your eyes off Sabrina Carpenter's glowy glam last night while she performed her Short n' Sweet hits and accepted the award for Best Pop Vocal Album (because same), then I've got some great news for you. Cosmo got an exclusive interview with Sabrina's makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez, for a breakdown of Sabrina's gorgeous Grammys glam—plus the exact products you need to recreate it. The best part? A $6 drugstore product is key to the entire look. Yep you read that right....$6.
While Sabrina's glam is filled with her go-to luxe products, the skincare hack is none other than the drugstore staple Aquaphor, which Gonzalez called her "secret makeup weapon." "I like to use the Aquaphor Healing Balm Stick as the last touch over cream blushes and blush tints for a highlighter-like glow on top," Gonzalez says.
You can even wear it on the eyes for some added shine. "I love that it's multi-use for the lips, eyes, or as a highlighter," says Gonzalez, adding "I put it on the brows or as a shine on the eyelids with tons of mascara."
But before you go slapping Aquaphor all over your cheeks to recreate Sabrina's glow, know that proper application is key to getting a nice result. "Rather than swiping the stick directly to the skin which could move the makeup you’ve already put on, I love to tap the product on with my fingers or use a beauty sponge to get that natural glow on top," Gonzales explains. "Using Aquaphor on top of the makeup takes the place of highlighter and doesn’t move the cream or powder products," she adds. Not to mention, avoiding the Aquaphor stick directly on your face is more hygienic and can minimize the risk of breakouts too.
And of course, we also got the details on Sabrina's lip look. For hydration, it's the Prada Lip Balm combined with Aquaphor's Lip Repair Stick, (which is less than $6, might I add). "It feels nice and light and not sticky, it's very glossy, and it gives you that high-shine look," says Gonzalez.
