RAAIE Honey Skin: How to Get the Look
It’s out with glass skin, and hello to a glow like no other.
Honey skin, it’s the new blueprint for glow. A look rich in hydration, dewy warmth and a sunlit glow. This is your insider dispatch from Australian Fashion Week Resort ‘26.
As the official skincare partner for Albus Lumen Resort ‘26, RAAIE ushered in a new era of pre-show beauty prep with the debut of honey skin.
Think skin that glows, with a bounce in its step. With Albus Lumen’s natural and refined approach to design mirroring our own skincare philosophy, the partnership was a perfect match.
Inside the Honey Skin Philosophy
Less is always more for us. Discover the four glow essentials, used by the iconic Skin Director Filomena Natoli to create this look.
A timeless skin look for embracing your natural features. Here’s how to incorporate it into your ritual.
How to Get the Look
1. Cleanse + Mask: Golden Nectar Mānuka Honey Enzyme Cleanser
Models backstage enjoyed a pre-show sweet treat with our Golden Nectar Mānuka Honey Enzyme Cleanser. Not only was it a golden moment for bare faces, but it created the perfect entry to radiance on the runway, with the cleanser’s 2-in-1 mask function.
How To: Apply to a generous layer to clean, dry skin. Massage gently, then leave on for 5 minutes to allow the enzymes to work. Remove with a wet face cloth for extra exfoliation (always keep it gentle, of course).
The Skin Result: Bouncy, smooth and visibly radiant. Thanks to fruit enzymes dissolving any dead skin cells and dullness, while pure New Zealand mānuka honey gave the skin a moisture boost.
2. Activate + Brighten: Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum
Consider this the ultimate skin energiser. Our lightweight AM serum boosts brightness and smooths the skin. What more could you want pre-show?
How To: Apply 1-2 drops onto the face and press into the skin gently with fingertips.
The Skin Result: A radiant finish powered by two different types of Vitamin C, working to visibly brighten the skin.
Pro Tip: On days where you’re wanting a lighter foundation finish, our team loves to mix in a few drops for a glowy finish. Or, use it as a natural highlighter by applying to high points on the face.
3. Nourish + Cushion: Cocoon Ceramide Cream
Hydration, it’s the real backstage hero. As essential as any setting spray and the real secret to a flawless base. This step will allow smooth-sailing of all make-up applications to follow, for keeping dry patches at bay and skin cushioned with care.
How To: Apply a pea-sized amount over the face, with a special focus on drier areas such as under eyes, and around the nose and mouth.
The Skin Result: A barrier strength level-up. Our ceramide-packed cream offers rich, long-lasting hydration without any heaviness.
4. Protect + Perfect: Sun Milk Drops Tinted SPF50
Skip the mattifiers. Honey skin is all about warmth, glow and most importantly to us here at RAAIE — protection.
How To: Apply evenly across the face and blend with fingers or brush. Let our beloved formula settle in while you pause for a mindful moment (crucial during both backstage and daily life chaos).
The Skin Result: A sheer, dewy base with SPF50 protection and a lit-from-within glow. It looks and feels like a sunkissed afternoon, without the UV damage of course.
With special thanks to our new friends Albus Lumen and a big congratulations to them on an unforgettable show and on their 10 year anniversary. x
