From Essie's Ballet Slippers polish to Clarins' hand cream.

Looking back over the 96 illustrious years of Queen Elizabeth's life, it's near-impossible to think of a time that she wasn't groomed to perfection.

We never saw a hair out of place or a smeared lip, and according to insiders, this was all her own handiwork. It's been reported that she never relied on a professional 'glam squad' unless it was for the filming of her annual Christmas Day speech.

But while Her Majesty was hands-on with her daily and show-stopping night time looks she was never in the business of advertising her favourite lipstick, so we have had to piece together what products she preferred through a patchwork of intrepid Royal reporter tidbits and the brands that have been awarded a Royal Warrant.

Royal Warrants are given to the select few companies that have been supplying the late Monarch, her family and their households for years - some even before she came to the throne in 1952!

Below, we've rounded up a selection of the Queen's favourite powders, creams, and scents - and some of the other products you might find in any of the the Royal residences...

Queen Elizabeth was famously crowned wearing Clarins cosmetics, after commissioning the company to create a shade of lipstick that went with her coronation robes. It's rumoured that its Ever Matte powder was among the Queen's must-haves.

According to Essie's website (and a few other sources), the Queen's hairdresser wrote to the brand's founder, Essie Weingarten, back in 1989 to request a bottle of Ballet Slippers. Rumour has it that to this day, it's the also the nail polish of choice of Kate Middleton, the new Princess of Wales, too.

This tube of hand and nail cream was rumoured to 'never run out at the palace,' per the Telegraph.

The Queen was a fan of Elizabeth Arden's lipsticks for years. According to Hello, the brand has held a Royal Warrant for over 55 years. Though it's not known exactly which colour the British Monarch preferred.

Another one of the Queen's Elizabeth Arden favourites was the brand's Eight Hour Cream, according to the Telegraph. In 2016, a press representative said the brand frequently communicated with the Queen's senior dresser, Angela Kelly, to service the monarch. 'We work closely with Angela Kelly and her team to ensure we provide excellent service for whatever Her Majesty requires, or would like to try,' the representative said, per the Telegraph.

Yet another Royal Warrant holder, Molton Brown had the privilege of supplying the Queen with 'toiletries.'

Kent is the world's oldest brush manufacturer, and has held a Royal Warrant for a whopping nine reigning monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth.

According to Floris, the likes of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley, King George IV, and Florence Nightingale were all devotees–meaning the late Queen Elizabeth was in good company.

Back in the mid-seventeenth century, Yardley secured a Royal Warrant from King Charles I to supply all of London's soap. These days, the brand no longer maintains a monopoly, but it retains a royal tie. Royal residences reportedly keep Yardley soaps on-hand, and per Marie Claire, private guests to Windsor Castle are given Yardley products, too.
