Sam Carmona has officially joined The Circle season 5. She works as a freelance makeup artist on the outside world, but for now, she’s holed up in the Manchester-based flats where she’s trying to build bonds with her fellow stars.
She’s quickly become a fan favorite just four episodes in. The 34-year-old is no stranger to fame, having accumulated thousands of followers on TikTok before she even made her Netflix debut on The Circle.
So, who is Sam from The Circle? What’s she like in real life? Well, she’s no catfish and is being 100% herself on the popular show. After all, her strategy on the competition is simply… to be honest.

Sam from The Circle
From Brooklyn, New York, Sam Carmona from The Circle season 5 is completely honest. She admitted she has cheated on previous romantic partners in the past, which returned contrasting opinions – but she survived the first rankings.
She had a rethink on her approach after a difficult start on the Netflix series, deciding to go for a people-pleasing stance rather than laying out all of her true feelings in the chats as she originally planned.
Sam, who has Puerto Rican roots, recently moved into a new home as of October 2022. She has shared an Amazon wishlist to her fans which features storage carts, sofas, eyelashes, rugs and other homeware.
The season 5 star is a makeup artist
Sam works as a freelance makeup artist in the real world. She is also extremely talented when it comes to nail art, which she often shows off on her social media pages, as well as her bold outfits.
She is known for wearing bright eyeliner of all colors, from pink to glowing green. Now, Sam is adding reality TV personality to her resume and revealed on TikTok that she’s “so blessed” to be making an appearance.
Sam is an MUA who also loves sneakers, and lists herself as a social media influencer on Twitter. She’s been reacting to the first four episodes of The Circle on the app, where she has received tons of praise.
Omg I loooove Sam, she is a breath of fresh air 🤩
