Sabrina Carpenter performed at Coachella as a first-time headliner in 2026, two years after her debut at the festival in 2024. Despite promising to deliver her "most ambitious show" ever, her makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez, revealed that she wanted to showcase a "more grown-up version of the girl from her hit 2024 album" through her makeup and fashion. Gonzalez, who has worked with Carpenter for nearly 10 years, described her signature makeup as "doll-like" with an emphasis on "big eyes and full lips" inspired by the timeless beauty looks of Catherine Deneuve, Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot. She also highlighted her use of Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk Foundation and its sister concealer.
