BACKGROUND: Bobbi Brown is the founder and CCO of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. Brown arrived on the beauty scene in 1991 with the launch of Bobbi Brown Essentials and changed the face of makeup. She is Editor-in-Chief of Yahoo! Beauty, Contributing Beauty & Lifestyle Editor of Health magazine and Beauty & Lifestyle Editor of “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show,” a nationally syndicated morning radio show. Furthering her message of self-confidence, Brown launched the Pretty Powerful Campaign in 2010, inspired by her belief that “all women are pretty without makeup – but with the right makeup can be pretty powerful.” Brown's impact extends well beyond the beauty and fashion industries. In 2008, she received an honorary doctorate from Montclair State University. In 2010, she was appointed by President Obama to the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiation.
