While there were plenty of desirable and dreamy fashion looks spotted at this year’s Australian Fashion Week, skin also commanded everyone’s attention. With a focus on barely-there makeup and naturally radiant skin, Sunday Riley was backstage at Australian Fashion Week to give models a luminous, vibrant, healthy glow.
AJE
Aje Resort 23 “Sculptura” collection was inspired by a “place where art, the body, and nature entwine.” Models donned the brand’s signature puff sleeve and cloud-like silhouette in candy colors and vivid prints. To complement the vibrancy of the collection, AJE beauty director Isabella Schimid created a look focusing on each model’s natural features and allowing the real skin to show through.
“This look is all about the skin. We wanted to create a healthy, naturally radiant complexion that compliments the raw beauty and effortlessly cool approach that Aje does so well. We created that unmistakable glow with just a few products using Sunday Riley,” says Schim
One Mile
One Mile made its debut show during Australian Fashion Week this year. The label, created by influencer Sammy Robinson, focuses on laid-back but elevated pieces, relaxed knitwear, lived-in denim, and twinsets in vacation adjacent prints.
“Natural, fresh, healthy skin is a major part of One Mile’s runway look. I wanted the models’ natural features to be enhanced, with their complexion being hydrated and glossy. Sunday Riley plays an important role in getting the models runway-ready, as skin prep is key to a beautiful runway look,” says Robinson.
To create the look, “the skin prep is an essential part. The founder wanted that beautiful, natural, glassy-skin finish, which was easy to create using Sunday Riley. With just a few products, we achieved that hydrated, healthy glow as the ultimate makeup base,” says Schimid, One Mile skin director.
Get the Runway Ready Skin with Sunday Riley:
- For the perfect cleanse to get your skin runway-ready, start with a deeply purifying and nourishing cleanse with Ceramic Slip Cleanser, which pulls dirt and impurities up and out of the skin while pulling in critical hydration.
- Follow it with a power drink for your skin: Pink Drink Firming and Resurfacing Essence, a peptide infused treatment that resurfaces, balances, and firms the look of the skin while supporting the natural microbiome.
- A couple of drops of the C.E.O Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil recharges the skin’s radiance for an instant vibrance and antioxidant defense – leaving the complexion brighter and nurtured.
- Then apply Sunday Riley’s hero — an all-in-one AHA infused brightening treatment mask using Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment. It’s designed to remove dull-looking, pore-clogging
dead skin while plumping the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Good Genes gives your skin a natural-looking radiance that’s make-up ready and is bound to steal the show. - ICE Ceramide Moisturising Cream adds that hit of hydration that your skin needs to look healthy, plump, and glowy. ICE is rich but lightweight, strengthening the natural moisture barrier for smooth, balanced, and ageless-looking skin throughout the day.
- Finally, an application of Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream — the runway bestseller that banishes tired-looking eyes and instantly illuminates the eye area. Auto Correct delivers a lifted and depuffed look to the eye area while rapidly reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.
