Queen Camilla got eyebrow tattoos at some point in the past year

Currently, Queen Camilla has access to the best beauty treatments available in the UK. Last year, she gave a royal warrant – like a royal sponsorship, basically – to her facialist, who swears up and down that she’s giving Camilla the best skincare around and that Camilla is a “beautiful person” with “incredibly young skin.” Obviously, I have my doubts. Well, here’s something I didn’t expect at all. Ol’ girl got her eyebrows tattooed at some point, likely in the past year. I’m including photos of Camilla and her tattooed eyebrows from the past month in this post. It doesn’t sound like anyone is interested in hiding this either? I mean, it’s not like it’s shameful or anything, I just can’t believe a whole-ass sidechick queen got eyebrow tattoos.

Queen Camilla’s eyebrows have received a royal upgrade. The royal is the latest client to be given the bespoke “Couture Brow” treatment courtesy of Suzanne Martin, a semi-permanent makeup specialist in London known as the “Eyebrow Queen” for her ability to give clients the perfect brow.

Working exclusively from The Lanesborough Club and Spa, a private members’ health club in London’s Hyde Park Corner, Martin’s technique involves using a tattoo pen to intricately draw each individual hair onto the skin. After a lengthy consultation to make sure every client gets the exact color match, the hypoallergenic custom-blended mineral pigment is introduced just under the top layer of skin.

Two treatments, both 90 minutes, cost $1,870 in total, and a top-up is recommended every eight to 10 months at $1,070. Martin, who used to work as a makeup artist for Christian Dior, is known for her attention to detail and artistry as well as her gentle approach. Treatments are said to feel more like a scratch than the harsher method of microblading, with the effect being softer and more natural-looking.

Speculation about the appearance of Queen Camilla’s eyebrows began last summer when the royal appeared in public with noticeably darker brows (the color is most intense at first before it fades to the desired shade) that looked fuller and more defined in their shape.

Martin confirmed the speculation in a social media post on her Instagram account: “Our beloved Queen Camilla, always a pleasure! Thank you for trusting me.”

The make-up artist who has been perfecting her brow art for over a decade rarely discusses her celebrity clients, but she is rumored to be responsible for the brows of Ellie Goulding and Dua Lipa, among others.

[From People]

Oh, Dua Lipa has great brows! I wonder if it’s the sort of thing where you bring in photos of celebrities and say “I want her brows?” Or is it more case-by-case, and they’re trying to figure out what would look best on your face? The thing is, I didn’t really notice, so that’s probably a good thing and it means Suzanne Martin does her job well. Camilla’s brows just look ever so slightly darker and fuller – I thought it was just makeup. I have dark hair and dark brows, so I have no idea how fair-haired women figure out what to do with their brows, in general. My issue is that if I leave my brows unattended, they’ll truly creep halfway up my forehead and try to kiss right above my nose bridge. Brow tattoos would be wasted on me!

  1. Tessa says:

    Her photos are heavily airbrushed. She has the wrinkles from heavy smoking and too much sun exposure

  2. lisa says:

    I’ve always had sparse brows and now have bald spots in each. I’m a great candidate for this but I dont want to have to keep repeating it every year.

    • LadyMTL says:

      I’ve had thick (almost unruly) brows for most of my life, then I developed a thyroid condition a few years ago and now they are thinning. I also have a small bald patch in my right eyebrow; I have considered tattooing but it sounds like it hurts haha. I’ll stick with my brow pencil I guess!

    • sunniside up says:

      I always thought that tattoos were permanent so why the need to constantly repeat.

      • lisa says:

        they fade for a variety of reasons and need touchups every year or every other year

      • Ameerah M says:

        They aren’t traditional tattoos. It’s called microblading. And the tint isn’t permanent like a regular tattoo. They can fade due to sun exposure and even based on skin type (if your skin is oily they will fade faster than someone with dry skin).

      • Danbury says:

        My mom has them (she has black hair) and after a while they fade and looked greyish so she needs to update them. Maybe not every year, but fairly regularly

    • Elle says:

      I have eyebrows that got the 90s thin brow treatment with waxing. I did microblading and it was the best thing I ever did. It’s really dark at first and within about two weeks matches your brows. It is a game changer. It hurts a bit – uncomfortable may be a better work. But for anyone with patchy spots or overplucked brows, it is so worth it.

      • Kate says:

        @elle do you have any other tattoos? I’m curious about how the brows compare, pain and wear wise.

  3. Normades says:

    Don’t know if it was a thing in her day but I have plenty of middle aged friends who regret plucking their eyebrows in the 90s. You pluck several times and it doesn’t grow back.

    • Kaiser says:

      maybe for white women but my Indian brows always grow back harder no matter how many times I pluck

      • Normades says:

        That is a gift! I always tell my daughter not to pluck! You never know.
        I have friends that for multiple reasons (chemo for example) loose their eyebrows and it is traumatic for them. My Asian mum did her brows and tattooed eyeliner as well but it was well done and looks pretty natural. No shade on anyone who does.
        Also I hate the bleached/shaved eyebrow trend à la Jenna Ortega

  4. Shiela Kerr says:

    This is one disgusting looking woman. She has enough wrinkles for three people. New eyebrows are wasted on that face. Her face reflects her deeds.

  5. Jay says:

    I appreciate that BP isn’t putting out press releases denying this or any other cosmetic procedures Camilla gets (unlike KP, who are all over the mere suggestion of Botox or hair extensions for Kate).

    • Jais says:

      Same. That was my first thought. I am no Camilla fan but I do appreciate that they’re not issuing statements denying the obvious à la Kate.

  6. Tessa says:

    Lana turner wrote she plucked and shaved her eyebrows when when she was a starlet and they never grew back.she had to draw them on.

  7. MY3CENTS says:

    I really don’t like her, but I’ll give her credit that she did not go overboard with procedures. She looks old and wrinkled but on the other hand we have Kris Jenner. She seems comfortable in her skin so I guess kudos for that, but apart from that garbage human.

    • Me at home says:

      I agree, the eyebrows are fine. She hasn’t gone overboard with botox and fillers like Kate and Carole, and even though I despise her for what she did to Diana, Meghan and Harry, I’ll give her credit for that.

  8. Jayna says:

    “Incredibly young skin.” LMAO!!!! Her skin is leathery and heavily, heavily lined. She is actually far more wrinkled than most women her age are. It’s bad genes coupled with being a heavy smoker and heavy drinker.

  9. Christina says:

    The brow tattoos balance Camila’s face and make her look younger. The artist did a good job.

    A friend of mine gets this done to her eyebrows, and her brows look really good when done. The outer edges of her brows stopped growing. She didn’t pluck. She just doesn’t have the fullness or thickness she had when she was younger.

  10. Becks1 says:

    hm. I do think her brows look nice. I’m surprised this person was allowed to admit that she worked on Camilla.

    Ive seen some people with these tattooed brows and they are too heavy, too dark, too……just too much, I guess. but these are pretty good.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      My eyebrows (and lashes) are gray now I’m just waiting for the head to catch up it’s 50% there. I sometimes use a cosmetic product on them to darken them but lately I prefer them natural.
      I have seen really horrible eyebrow tattoos that was enough to make me never get them.. but hers don’t look bad

  11. Jane says:

    she’s probably too hammered to fill in her brows herself so this seems a good compromise

  12. Amy Bee says:

    Didn’t the press say that people are not allowed to use the royals for promotion or was that rule just in place for Meghan?

  13. Lala11_7 says:

    I used to get this done years ago…it was called “microblading”…peri took away my lush eyebrows…and this procedure also stopped the need for eyebrow gel.. I stopped once my autoimmune system started going haywire

  14. Jess says:

    I’ve always had thin, light eyebrows. And then someone recommended latisse. I’ve always been afraid to use latisse on my eyelashes because I don’t want anything messing with my eyes but it’s really helped my eyebrows. It was a slow process but they look the best they ever have and I’m 52.

  15. QuiteContrary says:

    She’s so pickled in gin that she probably didn’t feel the tattoo needles.

  16. Ameerah M says:

    So she got microblading like basically every celeb and beauty influencer between 2017-2019 when microblading was all the rage. I considered getting it done. It’s not permanent and the maintenance costs can be a lot. Also they don’t last on oilier skin types and some folks have had their eyebrows reject the dye and they fade in a matter of weeks! I feel like it would be just my luck that that would happen to me.

  17. Sharon says:

    My skin is easily irritated so I’m too scared to give this a try. My brows went away in my 50’s during perimenopause but then hair started to grow above my lips. Fun times. I think her brows look good. I like her hair more platinum white instead of yellow.

  18. Giddy says:

    I know two women who have had their eyebrows tattooed. One looks fabulous and natural. The other decided for some strange reason to get extreme brows that are huge on her face and look clownish. When I talk to her I have a hard time looking in her eyes when my focus keeps drifting north to her half inch thick brows.

  19. StillDouchesOfCambridge says:

    Oh I remember that day when I thought she had clown face looking at new released photos!!! Which one was it? It was kind of recent

  20. Jen says:

    I laughed at your remark about your brows creeping halfway up your forehead. Mine do the opposite and come in all over my eyelids.

  21. lamejudi says:

    I definitely need to pay attention to my brows-the color is fading and my right one has a sparse patch.

    NYX tinted eyebrow glue is a very inexpensive (link it tomorrow!), but excellent product for me. Since I let my gray hair grow in, having the eyebrows right makes a big difference in how I look.
