What would Queen Elizabeth look like today?

I spend a lot of time on Pinterest looking for inspiration and I have scrolled across this image of Queen Elizabeth and what she would look like today and it got me thinking what would her make-up be like with all the new and different styles and techniques so I have decided I am going to choose what I believe what her make-up would look like now a days.

I  believe she would use a good amount of make-up as she liked to cover her age with make-up, I think she would have a good amount of blusher as well to keep it similar to the Elizabeth blush. She would have fair eyebrows still not too dark or heavy. She would have a nice pink gloss colour to the lips and hardly and make-up on the eyes.
