My True Velvet Lipsticks on the set of The Crown 👑

What an honour to see fiercely talented actress Imelda Staunton wearing my Velvet Duchess lipstick for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II.

The journey to this moment began when makeup designer @cate.hall team contacted us to discuss and test some of my lipstick shades for this series. Velvet Duchess wasn’t out yet but I had a small batch I had mixed in the lab and I had a feeling it could be a winner.

Cut to now and I’m thrilled the makeup team confirmed that Duchess was indeed the chosen shade! As well as Duchess for The Queen, the makeup team also used Velvet Ribbon for young Margaret played by Beau Gadsdon, as well as other cast members and characters.

The intensity and quality of the pigments in my True Velvet Lip Colours are unlike anything else; Intense,blurring, non drying and with all skin tone flattering undertones. @thecrownnetflix

Huge thanks to the brilliant makeup team:
