While there are many things I love about her, her quest to help women embrace their own unique beauty is truly inspiring.
I have been a Bobbi Brown customer from the very beginning. It started with me being drawn to the simplicity of her make-up message: her make-up was intended to enhance your looks in a natural way, helping you be a more beautiful you rather than transform you into someone else. In the 90's that was a novel and revolutionary concept indeed. It turned out to be the platform that launched her career, and the rest is history.
Since that time I have gotten to know more about Bobbi's beauty philosophy through the simple and sage advice she offers in her beauty books (I love, "Bobbi Brown Beauty" and "Bobbi Brown Living Beauty"). She is an impressively smart woman! There is the obvious; she is clearly a gifted and creative make-up artist, and a seriously savvy business woman (kudos). Beyond the obvious is a woman who is using her substantial influence in an oftentimes shallow and superficial world to promote a dwindling commodity, self-esteem.
Most recently I discovered how magnificently she discusses the various challenges of a fragile period in all of our lives, adolescence, in her book aimed at my daughter's generation, "Bobbi Brown Beauty Rules". It is genuinely lovely. She uses real people (not just professional models) to demonstrate her points, and she delves into varied subjects from diverse ethnicities, to braces, to nutrition, and more.
Thank you Bobbi! You have been a huge part of my growth into a more confident woman, and now you are helping me guide my daughter down that road as well.
A cute note... My daughter felt so connected to Bobbi after coveting her new beauty bible, Bobbi's Beauty Rules, that she asked "is Bobbi Brown too famous to do my make-up for my graduation?". She is 11 years old. The world is still full of so much magic and mystery to her, it is beautiful. xoxo
PRETTY sure is POWERFUL
