Kate's eyebrow style has been described by The Mail's Liz Jones as 'terrible'

The public reaction has been more mixed, however. The Mail’s Liz Jones described it as ‘a terrible metamorphosis’, and some critics asked whether her brows had been tattooed on to emulate the infamous dark, bold ‘Scouse brow’ sported by the likes of Coleen Rooney and the stars of reality series The Only Way Is Essex.
Others suggested the makeover has left her brows too heavy for her face.
But while Kate may have changed her look, it seems she has retained her down-to-earth approach.
Although she could simply summon the country’s top make-up artists to Kensington Palace, she picked up the eyebrow technique during a highly public – and free – make-up lesson on the shop floor.

Raising an eyebrow: Kate's eyebrow style has been described by The Mail's Liz Jones as 'terrible'

Sitting on a stool at the bustling make-up counter, she listened intently while a beauty adviser gave her a step-by-step lesson. Other shoppers walked by oblivious as the pair chatted about everything from eye cream to facial corrector and a creamy concealer she has become a fan of.
Kate, 30, confided that she worries about lines and dark shadows making her look old.
To make sure she looks her best at high-profile events, she invested in a top secret ‘three step’ anti-wrinkle set, which includes a £28 eye cream, a £17 facial corrector and a pot of concealer for £23.
And like most women, she couldn’t resist picking up a few extra goodies while she was there – a £15 lip liner pencil in ‘brownie pink’ which she was told to apply all over her lips, rather than just on the edges, as a base for her lipstick.
She also bought a pinky £18 lipstick called ‘sandwash tulle’ from the same range.
