Summary
Legendary makeup artist, New York Times best-selling author, wellness guru, hotelier and more - is there anything that Bobbi Brown can't do?
Hear all about her humble beginnings: from the 80s working with everyone from Whitney Houston to Jerry Hall before she went on to create the OG no makeup-makeup line at a time when every other cosmetic brand was still about selling sex in a lipstick. Just try to figure out Bobbi Brown Cosmetics’ best-seller—is it the foundation stick, the gel eyeliner, the shimmer brick, the Beach fragrance, or the nude eye palettes so many of us had on regular rotation? (The debate is on!) Find out the real reason why Brown chose to leave her namesake company, and she pulls no punches explaining what it felt like to walk away.
Plus, listen in as Brown explains her second act, developing a new range of beauty supplements, Evolution 18, not to mention her chic as hell hotel, The George. We also get real about Brown’s approach to interviewing some really big players for her lifestyle site justbobbi.com —with breaking news that Bobbi Brown is launching her own podcast! It's called Long Story Short Podcast and it's dropping this fall. And finally, you do not want to her answer to the question we are all dying to know: will she ever start a makeup line again?
