Beare Park x Emma Lewisham backstage report – May 12th, 2026
Emma Lewisham returned as the exclusive skincare partner for Beare Park’s Pre-Fall 2026 show at Australian Fashion Week, presenting a luminous, skin-first beauty look at the Sydney Opera House.
For the second year, the partnership reflects a shared philosophy between the two brands, that true beauty begins with integrity, craftsmanship, and respect for the skin.
Inspired by the emotional depth of Sinéad O’Connor’s In This Heart, Beare Park’s collection explored themes of yearning and tenderness through sculptural tailoring, fluid draping, and sheer silk in rich, earthy tones.
Together, Emma Lewisham and Beare Park continue to champion a modern approach to beauty and fashion, where skin is celebrated, and less is more.
The look:
"Beare Park at Australian Fashion Week is a partnership we return to with genuine excitement, built on a shared belief that true beauty comes from within and that what you put on your skin should honour it," shared Emma Lewisham, founder and CEO.
"This year, we put the Sunceutical Mineral Glow Serum centre stage. Worn alone, it gave every model a natural warmth and radiance that could only come from skin that is truly thriving."
"What the runway proved is what we've always known, that when skincare is truly intelligent, it renders makeup optional."
"Our formulations work at a cellular level to even skin tone and refine texture, so the skin doesn't just look healthy, it looks finished."
The skin:
Makeup artist, Linda Jefferyes created a radiant, foundation-free look using a single product: the Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF 50 Mineral Glow Serum.
"My approach for Beare Park is always about skin, finding that glow that feels completely natural, completely individual," explained Jefferyes.
"The Sunceutical SPF 50 Mineral Glow Serum was the only product we needed – delivering that incredible lit-from-within glow, without a drop of foundation."
The bronze-tinted serum delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection, hydration, and skincare benefits, creating an immediate, illuminated base while supporting long-term skin health.
The products:
