Sunburned Makeup Is The Sabrina Carpenter-Approved Beauty Trend Taking Over TikTok

A new TikTok beauty trend has emerged as the cool-girl look for summer 2024. While latte makeup, famous clean girl glam, and Bridgerton-inspired makeup have rocked the beauty world as major beauty trends to watch over the past year, there's a new trend on the horizon.

Hailey Bieber no doubt paved the way for the beauty community with her revolutionary minimal, ultra-dewy clean girl look, but this summer, Sabrina Carpenter has surfaced as the It girl to emanate. Fans have taken note of the star's radiant, rosy glam routine—characterized by perfectly pink blush placed around the cheekbones, temple, and apples of the cheek—and elevated it to a whole new level, resulting in the ultra-popular sunburned makeup trend. While the moniker, courtesy of TikTok, implies hours spent in the sun, all you truly need to achieve the look is a powerful, pigmented blush, the right placement technique, and a few minutes with a mirror. 

Curious to see the techniques, products, and viral videos that have caused the trend to explode into mainstream popularity? Join L'OFFICIEL as we trace the origins of the look and outline all the beauty products you'll need to hop onto the sunburn blush and sunkissed makeup routine that are dominating summer 2024 beauty trends. 

Given the pop star's rise to certifiable It girl status, fans and beauty lovers across the world have taken to TikTok to recreate the now-iconic Sabrina Carpenter blush-forward makeup look. Users on the app have also put their own personal spin on the sunburned makeup look and experimented with different techniques, including more prominent under-eye concealer and drastic contouring, to achieve a beauty look that embodies the kind of glow that can only be achieved after a long day spent under the stifling summer sun. Using heavily pigmented blush products, the "boyfriend blush" placement technique, and plenty of dewy highlight is the key to nailing the sunburned makeup trend.

In an era where true tanning—think heaps of tanning oil, little to no skin protection, and hours spent under intense UV rays—is on the outs, the sunburned makeup trend of summer 2024 is the ideal way to achieve that undeniably alluring sunkissed glow without permanently damaging your skin or risking other UV-related health concerns. 

Below, shop several of TikTok's preferred blushes—including Sabrina Carpenter's go-to blush—for the sunburned makeup look and achieve a sunkissed glow without all the skin damage.
