Recreate That Met Gala Glow: Soft Glam Inspired by Sabrina Carpenter

Let’s be real—glam makes the look. The dress can slay, the heels can pop, but if the makeup isn’t hitting? Game over. Case in point: Sabrina Carpenter’s entire vibe at the 2025 Met Gala. From the dramatic tailcoat to that iconic soft-glam moment, it was giving timeless beauty with a fresh twist—and we’re obsessed.

Want to steal the spotlight like Sabrina? We’ve got the Laura Mercier must-haves to help you recreate her Met Gala makeup look from start to flawless finish. Think glowing skin, flushed cheeks, defined eyes, and a kissable lip that lasts all night.

Let’s break it down.

Step 1: Glow Like You Mean It

Red carpet beauty starts with radiant skin. Use Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation for that “I woke up like this” finish. It’s weightless, breathable, and perfect for all-night wear. Then pop on Blush Color Infusion for a fresh flush—go with a soft rose or peach tone for that Sabrina-style cheek moment.

Top it off with the RoseGlow Highlighting Powder on your high points. Cheekbones, brow bone, tip of the nose—you know the drill. You’ll be glistening (in a good way), not greasy.

Step 2: Eye Contact Only

Sabrina’s eyes always say something, and yours can too. Swipe on a Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Matte in a warm shade like Caramel for a soft contour. For a subtle boost, use the Caviar Tightline Eyeliner in Espresso Brown to define your waterline—it lowkey makes your lashes look fuller without looking like you tried.

Finish with a few layers of Caviar Extravagant Mascara. This one's your go-to for long, fluttery, smudge-proof lashes that survive every flash photo.
