Do the Royals do their own makeup?
It turns out, the 95-year-old monarch usually does her own makeup — though there is one annual occasion when the Queen hires a professional: the recording of her yearly Christmas speech.
Queen Elizabeth does her own makeup almost everyday, apart from when she's filming her annual Christmas speech. The queen's dresser, Angela Kelly, has detailed many of the monarch's style secrets in a new book.
And also: She does her own makeup. Yes, you read that correctly: Meghan Markle does her own makeup. Not for every occasion, obviously. Her good friend makeup artist Daniel Martin put together her royal wedding look, but nine times out of 10, she likes to hold the reins—or eyelash curler, I should say.
Queen Elizabeth never wears the same outfit twice at important events. Therefore, the sovereign prefers to either change her outfits and if she gets bored of them, she sends them to her dressers, who are then allowed to either wear them themselves or sell them.
And there is one particular - and suitably 'appropriate' - shade that the Queen favours. According to nail care brand Essie, the Queen's hairdresser sent the brand a letter in 1989 requesting a bottle of its cult shade Ballet Slippers; 'the only colour Her Majesty would wear.
When it comes to smelling good, the Queen is said to use Floris London.
According to Vogue, Queen Elizabeth II reportedly wears Guerlain L'Heure Bleue which was created way back in 1912. A classic for over a century, the fragrance features top notes of aniseed and bergamot, heart notes of tuberose, carnation, violet, rose, and neroli and base notes of Tonka bean, iris, benzoin and vanilla.
The Queen has long been a fan of Elizabeth Arden's lipsticks—according to Hello, the brand has held a royal warrant for over 55 years.
Her Majesty swears by moisturising twice a day with a layer of Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream, as well as keeping her skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water. The moisturiser is loaded with Vitamin E which enriches the skin, and it's thought Her Maj uses it twice per day to maintain a healthy glow.
"People think that Meghan has had hair extensions, but I never put any extensions in her hair in the two years that I worked with her," he said. "It's all her own hair, and it's great to see it looking so long and healthy," explained Northwood, who did Meghan's hair for her wedding.
What shampoo does the duch*ess of Cambridge use?
It has long been rumoured that Kate's favourite shampoo is none other than Kérastase Nutritive Bain Satin Shampoo. The duch*ess has been famed for her long, glossy, brunette hair since she first stepped onto the royal scene during her St Andrews days and the global obsession has never waned.

Royal hair must be neat and natural
There's a reason Kate Middleton's hairstyles are so classic; unlike other celebrities, she isn't allowed to experiment much with color, cut, or texture thanks to the neat and natural rule.
Although there tend to be strict dress codes in place at royal social functions, such as the garden parties at Buckingham Palace and race days at the Ascot, there is no ban on tattoos.
