Biography

Redefining Beauty from the Ground Up

Bobbi Brown started her career as a makeup artist in 1980s New York, frustrated by an industry obsessed with dramatic transformations and unrealistic ideals. In 1991, she introduced ten neutral-toned lipsticks that sparked a global shift toward natural beauty, and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics was born. The brand quickly exploded, leading to an acquisition by The Estée Lauder Companies in 1995. As Chief Creative Officer, she spent more than 20 years transforming the brand into a billion-dollar juggernaut sold globally.

A Relentless Entrepreneur

Never one to sit still, Bobbi left her namesake company in 2016 to reclaim her entrepreneurial spirit. In just a few months, she launched Beauty Evolution, LLC, a platform for her next big ideas. From opening The George, a 1900s estate turned stylish boutique hotel in Montclair, NJ, to launching 18Label, a state-of-the-art photo and video production studio, and creating a multi-platform editorial hub, @justbobbibrown, she reimagined what it means to be a creative founder in the lifestyle space.

Then, at the height of the pandemic in 2020, Bobbi made her triumphant return to beauty with Jones Road, a collection of indispensable clean beauty products that embrace simplicity, diversity, and self-expression. Within five months, Business Insider named Jones Road one of the fastest-growing brands of the year. Today, the award-winning brand has collected accolades from media outlets such as Allure, Vogue, W, In Style, and Essence.

Still Bobbi

On September 23rd, 2025, Bobbi will release her 10th book, Still Bobbi, a personal memoir chronicling her journey from suburban Chicago kid to global beauty icon. The book peels back the curtain on Bobbi’s story, from facing imposter syndrome and navigating body image to building a career without sacrificing motherhood or marriage. Fiercely real, Still Bobbi offers not just wisdom but heart.

A Lifetime of Impact

Bobbi has received countless accolades, including TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World (2025), Fortune’s Most Powerful Women, Forbes’ 50 Over 50 Most Influential Women (2022), and BBC’s 100 Women (2015). She has also received the Glamour Woman of the Year Award, The Fashion Group International Night of Stars Beauty Award, and The Jackie Robinson Foundation’s ROBIE Humanitarian Award.

She was even appointed to the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiation by President Barack Obama and inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. She holds honorary doctorates from Montclair State University, Fashion Institute of Technology, Monmouth University, and Emerson College.

And while the accolades speak volumes, what truly defines Bobbi is her commitment to living and leading with authenticity. Through her media, her brands, and her voice, she continues to prove that natural is powerful, real is beautiful, and it’s never too late to start again.

Books

Still Bobbi

“She didn’t just change how people wear makeup—she changed how they see themselves” (Charlamagne tha God, for the Time 100 Most Influential People list).

Bobbi Brown, beauty mogul and visionary, opens up in her first memoir about the true story: reinvention, resilience, and the power of staying real.

Bobbi Brown is a trailblazer in the beauty industry. A New York Timesbestselling author of nine makeup tutorial books to date, she is the founder of both her namesake beauty brand, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and her four-year-old clean beauty brand, Jones Road. Recognized as one of Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in 2021, included in Forbes’s “50 Over 50” list of Most Influential Women in 2022, and honored with the Glamour Woman of the Year Award, Bobbi’s career has been nothing short of groundbreaking. In Still Bobbi, she shares her personal journey, including the integral relationships that inspired and emboldened her from a young age to pursue her creative vision despite numerous challenges—offering a heartfelt and inspiring memoir guaranteed to captivate readers of all ages.

In 1980, Bobbi Brown had a wild idea: real faces are beautiful. When makeup trends were about covering, contouring, and transforming, Bobbi blazed her own path, using makeup that accentuated a woman’s natural beauty. In the process, she revolutionized the makeup industry. Bobbi’s philosophy is part of who she is, and it’s reflected in the way she lives her life. Real is better than fake. Simple is better than complicated. Family comes first. When real life throws you obstacles, maneuver and just figure it out. This hard-earned, deceptively simple wisdom is at the core of her new book, Still Bobbi.

Bobbi has authored many makeup books but has never written about her life…until now. Bobbi shares her story—a seemingly typical suburban girl who thrived socially but struggled academically and had a wonderfully complicated and glamorous mother. Bobbi navigated her childhood and discovered and refined her own view of beauty. She talked her way into New York’s beauty and fashion scene in the 1980s, found the love of her life, built her namesake brand into a billion-dollar worldwide business, sold control of her namesake brand, only to build another juggernaut beauty brand—all while raising a family and remaining true to herself. In sharing a lifetime of intimate stories, hard-won practical wisdom, tips, and business savvy, Bobbi’s transformational memoir urges readers to embrace their own potential and pursue their dreams with confidence and clarity of purpose.
