Over the years, The Queen has sported many different looks and she is well known ( and loved) for a bright and bold lip colour.
In fact, she went as far as to commission her very own lipstick shade to match her ceremonial coronation robes which is a deep, ruby red that paired perfectly with the robe of state.
The Body Shop’s £8.00 Colour Crush Lipstick is the perfect dupe for your royal jubilee celebrations this year.

“The Colour Crush Lipsticks not only provide a long-lasting shade that’s perfect for an all-day jubilee celebration, but they’re enriched with nourishing marula oil, meaning your lips will stay plump and hydrated,” experts at The Body Shop said.
You can now recreate Her Majesty’s coronation look with the shade 320 Tahiti Hibiscus or even keep it classic with a bright red lip in shade 220 Athens Anemone.
But if a natural pink is more your style, shade 210 Berlin Oleander is a pretty impressive almost replica of the lip colour worn by the queen on her 96th birthday.
