Bobbi Brown built one of the most iconic makeup brands in the world by rejecting trends, ignoring hype, and trusting what actually works. In this episode, Bobbi breaks down today’s biggest beauty fads — from contour and laminated brows to fake freckles and preventative Botox — and explains why so many of them do not work. She shares unfiltered opinions, behind-the-scenes stories from Fashion Week, and the founder mindset that helped her spot ideas years before “collabs” were even a thing.
If you’ve ever wondered how to cut through trends, build something timeless, or decide what’s truly worth your time (and face), this conversation will change how you think about beauty and business.
