by Bobbi Brown

Bloomsbury presents Still Bobbi, written and read by Bobbi Brown.

'Feeling stuck? You need to read this book. Let Bobbi's powerful story be your reminder that you don't need permission and you don't have to feel ready. You just have to start' MEL ROBBINS, no. 1 bestselling author of The Let Them Theory

'To have taken on the beauty world not once, but twice, and smashed it both times, is remarkable. There is no one quite like Bobbi' SALI HUGHES

Legendary entrepreneur Bobbi Brown shares her personal story of invention and reinvention in her captivating first memoir.

In the 1980s, Bobbi Brown had a crazy real faces were beautiful. When cosmetic trends were about covering, contouring and transforming, Bobbi blazed her own path, creating make-up that accentuated natural beauty. In doing so, she revolutionized an industry.

Bobbi came by this philosophy honestly. It reflected who she is and the way she lives her life. Real is better than fake. Simple is better than complicated. Family comes first. When life throws obstacles in your path, don't wallow; figure it out. And this hard-earned, deceptively simple wisdom is at the heart of Still Bobbi.

For the first time, Bobbi shares where she comes from, how she navigated childhood, formed her concept of beauty, built her namesake company into a billion-dollar worldwide business, left her brand, built another one in her sixties – and more. In sharing a lifetime of wisdom, tips and business savvy, Bobbi's memoir provides the tools to embrace your potential and pursue your dreams with clarity and confidence.

Loved this book. Have been a fan of Bobbi Brown since she started her first line and now loving Jones Road products. Loved reading of the struggles and triumphs along the way, and how Bobbi manages to stay true to herself and what she wanted to bring to fashion and the makeup world. Very enjoyable to read and makes you feel as though you have a small window into Bobbi’s life.
