'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

‘If people want a bit of self-help, they want a bit of intrigue, they want a bit of glam, this is like a compendium of all the best books we’ve ever had.’ CHRIS EVANS, Virgin Radio

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 thought: 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 revolutionised 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.
