Beauty industry trailblazer Bobbi Brown — founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, the namesake brand she turned into a billion-dollar worldwide business, and the new clean beauty venture Jones Road — joins us to talk with award-winning journalist Katie Couric about her first memoir, Still Bobbi. Brown revolutionized the makeup industry in 1980 with the radical idea that real faces are beautiful, building a brand centered on accentuating a woman’s natural beauty. Her philosophy goes well beyond lip color and foundation. Her belief that real is better than fake, simple is better than complicated is an essential part of who she is. And it has fueled her approach to both work and life. The New York Times-bestselling author of nine makeup tutorial books, Brown has never told her own story until now. How did growing up in the suburbs with a glamorous mother shape her? Who were the people who inspired her and believed in her potential? How did she break into the bold bright beauty world of New York in the 1980s? And how did she do it all while raising a family and remaining true to herself? Hear from Bobbi herself. Open, real, natural makeup.
