So, if you are the girl who's up for a fresh and subtle makeup look that is seriously eye-catching, this trend might just be your next obsession. The pomegranate girl makeup trend is about incorporating shades of red into your makeup routine. With the deep red of pomegranate seeds, complemented by warm-toned faux freckles this trend is about creating a look that’s both bold and natural. Hence, it is successful at striking a balance between boldness and subtlety. 

The focus is primarily on the lips and cheeks, with a preference for shades that mimic the natural colour variations found in pomegranate seeds which range from deep reds to softer, more subdued pinks. Some also extend the look to the eyes, using earthy browns and reds to create a cohesive, warm-toned look. The result is a makeup style that feels autumnal but can easily be adapted for any season.

Is the pomegranate makeup trend here to stay?

For people who dote on experimenting with makeup trends, this pomegranate look is surprisingly easy to achieve as it doesn’t require a complete overhaul of a makeup bag, which acts as a major relief. The look also brings a fresh flush to the cheeks and cream blushes work wonders here, as they blend seamlessly into the skin, giving a natural, dewy finish. 

One of the reasons that this makeup trend is catching on is because it’s fun yet wearable. People can go as bold or as subtle as they like, making it accessible for everyday wear or special occasions, unlike some makeup trends that feel like they only work on Instagram.

The red tones are universally flattering, and the earthy accents add warmth that suits most skin tones. Another thing that is mostly loved about this trend is that it is a perfect blend of classic and modern. The viral trend certainly has the potential to become a seasonal staple. Much like how we return to berry lips in the fall or bronzed glow in the summer, the pomegranate look could very well be the go-to for those transitional months.
