Queen Camilla is known for her unwavering loyalty to both her staff and the experts who help her look her best.

For 35 years, she has trusted her signature blonde bob to Mayfair colourist Jo Hansford.

The 76-year-old royal also has a long-standing collaboration with nail and makeup artist Marina Sandoval, whom she hired 15 years ago.

Speaking to MailOnline, he described his working relationship with King Charles’ wife as “the best”.

Marina is credited with enhancing Camilla’s increasingly glamorous appearance, which has flourished remarkably since her coronation.

And she has always resisted cosmetic treatments such as Botox and cosmetic surgery, as royal writer Tina Brown reveals in her book The Palace Papers.

Although Camilla collaborates with Marina for official events, she often applies her own makeup.

This was evident during this year’s Wimbledon Championships, where she was seen applying Tom Ford lipstick herself in the Royal Box on Centre Court.

The shade Indian Rose, a medium-dark mauve, perfectly complements her radiant complexion and seems to be her go-to pick for her recent beauty looks.

Launched in 2006, Tom Ford Beauty was founded in partnership with Estée Lauder executive John Demsey.

The initial launch of the now iconic Black Orchid fragrance paved the way for the brand’s expansion into a prestigious line of cosmetics and beauty products.

Lip Colour’s formula ensures a long-lasting, moisturising finish, providing up to eight hours of saturated colour fidelity.

Camilla first met Marina at Jo Hansford’s hair salon, where she worked as an in-house manicurist.

King Charles’s wife is believed to opt for Chanel nail polish and Sisley hand cream.

When it comes to makeup, Camilla prefers a less-is-more approach, which complements her designer outfits.

When Marina collaborates with royalty, she selects a lightweight foundation, often mixed with a tinted moisturiser, to achieve a “very elegant and natural” look.

She accentuates her eyes with dark mascara and occasionally adds black liquid eyeliner, while using pencil to define her eyebrows.

Marina’s choice of cosmetics leans towards distinguished brands, such as Sisley, Guerlain, Chanel, Bobbi Brown and Armani Beauty, providing a high-end finish to Camilla’s makeup routine.

In The Palace Papers, which was published in 2022, Ms Brown described Camilla’s appearance at a time when Charles was trying to rehabilitate his reputation following the death of Princess Diana.

She wrote: ‘Camilla resisted all enhancement treatments and Botox.

‘There was honesty in her country complexion and in her smiling, wrinkled eyes. Her hair never presented any unpleasant surprises.

“It remained the same, the blow-dried blonde of the seventies, with feather-shaped wings on the sides and Carmen-style curls.”

For official events, Camilla uses one of her two hairdressers, Hugh Green and Geraldine Mancini.

It is believed that it follows a rigorous skin care routine adapted to people over 60 years old.

This involves cleansing with a gentle cleanser and warm water using a soft cloth, exfoliating weekly, and incorporating an anti-aging moisturizer into your daily regimen.

Marina’s most important advice is to “keep your skin very clean and use a mask when necessary.”

Known for her advocacy of skincare treatments, the Queen is an avid supporter of Deborah Mitchell’s famous bee venom facials.

She even recommended this treatment to Kate Middleton before her wedding to Prince William in 2011.

Costing over £300, this facial uses Kenyan bee venom to diminish the signs of ageing and promote a rejuvenated appearance, showing visible results after just one session.

Inspired by the success of her facial treatments, Deborah launched her own skincare brand, Heaven, featuring products enriched with hyaluronic acid and bee venom.

Camilla is said to love Silk Skin Bee Bee Cream for its ability to add a subtle glow to her skin.
