Bobbi Brown, CEO of her eponymous cosmetics company, began the trend toward natural-looking cosmetics with a simple philosophy: "Women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident." Today, top editors at elite fashion magazines--including In Style, Vogue, Allure, and Harper's Bazaar--revere her, and celebrities and millions of "regular" women throughout the world swear by her beauty advice.
Now on her own 50th birthday, Bobbi Brown has written the book redefining beauty for women over 40, BOBBI BROWN LIVING BEAUTY. In this refreshing look at beauty and aging, Bobbi offers readers specific makeup tricks for a stunning face--showing how makeup can solve most of the "flaws" that many women go under the knife to fix. In fact, the right makeup can create an even skin tone, lift the cheeks, plump a smile...even take years off any woman's face. The key is to use makeup to enhance each woman's best features and showcase her natural beauty. With step-by-step makeup instructions and quotes from beautiful women like Marcia Gay Harden, Vera Wang, Susan Sarandon, and Lorraine Bracco, Bobbi Brown's natural, celebratory approach to aging will enlighten and inspire women everywhere.
