Queen Elizabeth turns 95, that’s what’s (always) in her beauty case

Perfect crease, a touch of lipstick and radiant skin. On April 21, Queen Elizabeth turns 95 but its appearance declares far fewer. Always present to real commitments, always practically perfect, be it a gala, a horse race, a wedding or a funeral (we saw her, wonderfully enclosed in her grief, at the funeral of Prince Philip). For her, the longest-lived sovereign in history, this will be a different birthday, the first without the husband with whom she has shared the last 73 years.

We imagine it in any case, with her soft snow-colored wavy hair (which her personal assistant makes every day with curlers) e her lipstick in nuance pink, browse the family albums, composed, impenetrable and well-kept. IS with the radiant complexion that has distinguished her since her youth.

BEAUTY BRAND REGALI
It seems that, in addition to a super healthy diet and applying the Spf on the face for a lifetime (also protected by the inevitable hats), skin secret of the Queen is a cosmetic within everyone’s reach, or one of Elizabeth Arden’s cult beauty products, l’Eight Hour Cream, absolutely multi tasking that Elisabetta massages every day on the face, on the cuticles and which she seems to use also to keep her eyebrows in order. Although little has always been revealed about his beauty routine daily, there are brands, like Elizabeth Arden, which Her Majesty is known to prefer and that, therefore, we believe they have been present for a lifetime in her beauty-case. This is also the case of Clarins, chosen on the day of his coronation in 1953.

For the occasion, the Parliament commissioned a shade of lipstick from the French company while hanging with his ceremonial tunic. Of a shade between red and blue, it has taken the name of The Balmoral Lipstick and, since then, Elisabetta wears it every year to inaugurate the parliamentary season. The brand seems to really like the Queen who among the make-up products of the heart it seems to have the Ever Matte Mineral Powder Compact and the Hand and Nail Treatment Cream del brand.

PINK LIPS AND NAILS
Returning to lipsticks, according to the beauty royal code, Her Majesty is the only one who can wear them in bright shades, also neon, on the occasion of official engagements. The reason is only one: it must always stand out in the crowd. Elisabetta prefers them in pink shades and, even if the court etiquette would not allow make-up touches in public, she has been spotted several times while she was going over the color on her lips (Elisabetta one of us!). While, on the front manicure, on her nails in order and never too long, it is I notice that the Queen has loved to show off pale pink for thirty years Ballet Slipper of Essie.

In the gallery we have collected the beauty products that, according to the royal mandates of the companies that supply Casa Windsor, we think are the never again without Elisabetta’s beauty-case. Between lavender soaps and scents of carnations (her favorite flower), cosmetics evergreen and curlers, the Queen provides us with the inspo for a winning beauty routine at democratic prices. Happy birthday to you and … God save the Beauty Queen!
