While eagle-eyed royal watchers can often decipher what their favourite royals are wearing, it can be hard to know for sure which beauty products they use.

However, over the years the women of the royal family have let slip what they keep in their makeup bags and bathroom cabinets.

From Princess Catherine‘s favourite fragrance to the late Queen Elizabeth’s beloved nail polish, here are all the beauty products that the royals love.

royals beauty products - queen elizabeth and the clarins lipstick

Queen Elizabeth — Clarins Joli Rouge lipstick

Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 coronation was a historical spectacle. Not only had Britain not had a queen in over 50 years since the death of Queen Victoria, but the royals experimented with burgeoning colour television to broadcast the coronation live.

With this in mind, Queen Elizabeth commissioned a deep red ruby shade of lipstick from a French cosmetics brand called Clarins. The idea was that the red would pop onscreen both in colour and in black and white.

The lipstick, which is part of the Joli Rouge line, can still be purchased today from Clarins for a cool $59.

Princess Catherine — Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

Princess Catherine’s dermatologist, Dr Emma Patel, has said “One of Kate’s go-to skincare products is rosehip oil, which is packed with vitamins A and C. It helps to reduce fine lines, boost collagen, and keep the skin supple.”

Trilogy offers an award-winning, cold-pressed rosehip oil that’s surprisingly affordable; you can get a bottle for just $37.95.
