A new book on Queen Elizabeth II’s life has revealed that she does her own makeup. The lady is an inspiration to people all around the world, and her style and beauty are some of the things that make her iconic. Now, with this new information, it’s even more mind-blowing to know that she does it all herself.

The Queen is known for her distinct personal style. For those who have been following her decades-long rule, they know the royal lady’s usual fashion choices. While the clothing and makeup have changed to adapt to the trends of the time and her appearance as she ages, there still is a unique look she abides by. Now that we know she does her own makeup, it makes more sense that she was able to keep such a consistent personal style over the years; her looks are all created by her!

Angela Kelly is the Queen’s good friend and long-time dressmaker. She’s responsible for many of the iconic looks we have seen over the years. In her latest book, “The Other Side of the Coin: the Queen, the Dresser, and the Wardrobe,” Kelly revealed that the Queen prefers to do her makeup herself all the time. For any public appearance, the royal sits down in her own vanity table after getting dressed to do her own makeup.

The only time of the year the Queen opts for a makeup artist is her yearly Christmas speech. Residents of the UK and many people around the world always look forward to her speech, so there’s even more eyes on her than usual. Ever since the speech began to be televised, the Queen has asked a professional to do her makeup. It’s a good move; after all, makeup for TV is very different from how one would do their makeup on a day-to-day basis.

Everywhere we look today, there’s a reverence for beauty gurus. Whether they started on YouTube or are well-known makeup artists for celebrities, everyone has become enamoured with this world of makeup, glam, and beauty. What we didn’t know, however, is that one of the most iconic figures in the history of our time was a beauty guru all along. She knows how to do her own makeup perfectly. With that, we’ll all be waiting for a makeup tutorial by the Queen herself!
