Bobbi Brown    

Makeup Artist, Bestselling Author & Entrepreneur; Founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics; Top Speaker on Branding, Beauty & Wellness

Bobbi Brown is a beauty industry titan, world-renowned makeup artist, best-selling author, top branding keynote speaker, and serial entrepreneur. She is best known for founding Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, a brand that revolutionized the beauty world with its focus on enhancing natural beauty. What began as ten simple lipsticks grew into a global empire that was acquired by The Estée Lauder Companies just four years after its launch. Brown served as Chief Creative Officer for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics for 22 years before leaving the brand in 2016.

Following her departure, Brown returned to her entrepreneurial roots, launching several business and media ventures. Her new ventures include Beauty Evolution LLC, justBOBBI.com (a digital editorial content site), The George (a 31-room boutique hotel), and 18Label (a state-of-the-art production studio). In October 2020, she launched her latest beauty brand, Jones Road Beauty, a collection of clean beauty products designed for all ages, skin types, and skin tones. The brand has garnered widespread acclaim from publications like Allure, Vogue, W, InStyle, and Essence and was recognized by Business Insider as one of the fastest-growing beauty brands.

Brown has written nine books on beauty and wellness and is a sought-after speaker known for her insights on branding, entrepreneurship, and empowerment. In 2021, she was named one of Fortune’s Most Powerful Women, and in 2022, she appeared on Forbes’ ’50 Over 50’ list of the most influential women. Brown also served on President Obama’s Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations, further solidifying her influence beyond the beauty industry.

She holds honorary doctorates from Montclair State University, the Fashion Institute of Technology, Monmouth University, and her alma mater, Emerson College. Through her ventures, Brown continues to champion her signature “no-makeup makeup” philosophy, helping women embrace their natural beauty.
