Renowned for her transformative impact on the beauty industry, Bobbi Brown’s legacy extends far beyond cosmetics. From her humble beginnings creating a collection of lipsticks to establishing a global beauty empire with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, she has continually pushed boundaries and redefined industry standards. Even after departing from her namesake brand, Brown’s entrepreneurial spirit has remained undimmed, as evidenced by her successful ventures including justBOBBI.com, a digital editorial content site; The George, a 31-room boutique hotel in her hometown of Montclair, New Jersey; and 18Label, a state-of-the-art production studio. Her newest venture, Jones Road Beauty, is her collection of products for all ages, skin types, and skin tones. Recognized by Business Insider as one of the fastest-growing brands, Jones Road Beauty has garnered accolades from esteemed media outlets such as Allure, Vogue, W, In Style, and Essence.
