Bobbi Brown: A Woman Has To Show Her True Beauty With Little Make Up

October 18, 2011

“Be true, Be Natural”- By Hayat Ammouri

I received the invitation when I was at the gym. I was excited to go to New York and meet Bobbi Brown again and get to know her better, and visit few designers during this trip.

In my room, I found a gift bag from Bobbi Brown, the Converse that are her favorite and that everyone apparently wear at the office, and a cozy pyjama.

In the morning, we met with a group of editors from all over the world, including Niven from Kuwait whom I felt I knew for a long time. We went to Bobbi Brown’s studio in New Jersey where we spent the day with her.

Bobbi Brown told us a little bit about herself; she didn’t want to finish her studies… She went to a make up school. Seven years after, she did the make up for Naomi Campbell on the cover of Vogue. She also sold a collection of lipstick to Bergdorf Goodman.

Every woman is beautiful when she choses the right make up

Bobbi Brown does not want her make up to transform you, nor she wants to hide your wrinkles. She wants to enhance the true you in a simple way. Her philosophy is “Be true, Be Natural”. But real beauty for her is how you take care of yourself, and most of all, self confidence.

Before we left, Mélanie asked me if Bobbi Brown was my friend, I said no, not really, I just met her once backstage. But after this trip, I will definitely count her as my friend, and I value her friendship. I met Bobbi Brown the modest woman, romantic and fun, achieving one success after the other, the mother who puts her family before everything.. I learnt a lot from her experience… Even how to apply concealer and mix two correctors together. And did I tell you??? She even made us coffee herself!

“The woman doesn’t need a lot of foundation, she needs concealer or corrector”. The corrector is very suitable for women in the Arab world…
