Bobbi Brown with Robin Givhan

Bobbi Brown—world-renowned makeup artist and one of TIME’s 2025 “Most Influential People in the World”—has reinvented herself many times, but she’s never abandoned her mantra to “be authentic” or her conviction that real and unfiltered is beautiful.

In Still Bobbi, she shares her journey from her childhood in suburban Chicago to becoming a beauty industry trailblazer and a pioneering entrepreneur. From hustling her way into New York’s beauty and fashion scene in the 1980s, to building her first billion-dollar brand, to navigating her split from Estée Lauder and staging a comeback with the clean beauty brand Jones Road at 62 years old, Brown has always found success by remaining true to herself.

Moreover, she reveals how she grappled with imposter syndrome, body image, and mental health, all while remaining a devoted wife and mother and redefining beauty for generations to come.

Brown will be in conversation with Robin Givhan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, senior critic-at-large for The Washington Post, and the author of Make It Ours: Crashing the Gate of Culture with Virgil Abloh.
