Achieving this TikTok beauty craze is easy
Is it too late to jump on the pomegranate makeup trend? Not at all! As long as we’re still soaking up every last bit of summer glow, this fruity beauty phenomenon is right on time. So if you’re not yet ready to say goodbye to vibrant hues and a sun-kissed glow, read on!
A must-try beauty aesthetic that’s been making the rounds on TikTok for a while now, pomegranate makeup is all about combining a natural and fresh-faced look with rich, juicy tones to create a dreamy glow you’ll want long into autumn. Whether you’re aiming for sheer coverage, a soft rosy flush, or want to enhance those charming freckles, I’ve got the perfect products to help you achieve this look in just a few simple steps. Let’s delve in!
Effortless Coverage
The first step is always a good base. And for the pomegranate makeup look, it’s all about sheer coverage that subtly evens the skin, ready to make your rosy cheeks pop. A huge part of the trend’s prevalence on social media is the beauty scene’s obsession with fresh, healthy-looking skin. Think the clean girl aesthetic, except the pomegranate girl is a little more adventurous with her palette.
My go-to products for achieving this natural, dewy complexion include some of my favourite tried-and-tested foundations – Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation, the Tom Ford Architecture Soft Matte Blurring Foundation and Prada’s Reveal Skin Optimising Foundation (one of my all-time Prada beauty favourites). But it doesn’t stop there. I like to add a combination of the Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Blush and Tint for softly flushed cheeks and a natural glow, plus some highlighter for added shimmer.

Pomegranate Flush
Now onto the fun stuff. To create this look’s bright rosy cheeks and soft pink glow, it’s all about the blush. Be bold, but use sparingly. You want a fruity flush, not clown cheeks. Brands have been really on their blush game recently, from facilitating easy on-the-go touch ups with products like the Pixi On-the-Glow Blush Tinted Moisture Stick and Rhode Skin’s hotly anticipated Pocket Blush, to the growth in the liquid blush market (these are great for giving you a dewy finish).
I also recommend using vibrant hues and products that offer a little shimmer to create your pomegranate look. My top picks? Dior’s Rosy Glow Blush in the shade Pink Lilac – it has colour reviver technology that reacts to your skin’s moisture to give you a customised rosy finish. And also the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush that creates a shimmery pink effect.
Freckle Focus
One of the best parts about summer skin is the soft freckles that appear after days spent enjoying glowy rays. If you love your natural ones and want to enhance them a little, the fresh-faced look created goes beautifully with the rosy look of pomegranate makeup. My top tips? Less is definitely more. Softly dot them on to enhance your natural look.
For the easiest application, one of the best products is Freck Beauty’s
Freck The Original Freckle but eyeshadow and eyeliner can also work great for a subtly freckly finish that’ll keep you looking sun-kissed throughout autumn.
