Bobbi Brown / Nov 29, 2011
20 Questions

In celebration of the 20th Anniversary, Bobbi’s Head of PR sat down with her to dig deep and find out what really makes Bobbi Brown tick… In Bobbi’s words, here are 20 things you didn’t know about her…

1) People call me Bobs

2) I’m obsessed with clogs. I would just wear clogs if I could.

3) Cleaning and organizing is one way that I relax. Cleaning out a kitchen drawer actually calms me down.

4) I love toast. Don’t care what’s on it. Just love toast, period.

5) I have a weakness for simple, well-constructed handbags. I’m loving my Céline tote right now.

6) I’m obsessed with beauty foods—food that fills you up but is also good for you and makes you look good.

7) My favorite TV show is Modern Family. I enjoy funny, mindless TV in general.

8) I got low with Flo to his song Low on stage at a concert last year. Still considered one of my favorite memories.

9) My favorite movie of all time is Saturday Night Fever.

10) If I could invite anyone to dinner, living or dead, it would be Hemingway and Picasso

11) If I wasn’t a makeup artist, I’d be a nutritional chef.

12) My favorite color is navy.

13) My biggest pet peeve is when people don’t tell the truth.

14) I am happiest when I am spending time with my family.

15) I have been married for 22 years and I knew the second I met my husband, Steven, that I would marry him.

16) I sponsor a school in the Bronx called Jane Addams High School for Academic Careers and have hired students from the cosmetology program to work for me.

17) I hired a woman from the Dress for Success program who now works on my artistry team.

18) I never watch myself on TV or look at pictures of me in magazines.

19) I always think there is a way to do something better. I guess most creative types operate that way?

20) I wish I could sing and dance.

    I love how this blog is a more intimate portrait of Bobbi because she is an interesting and inspiring woman. I also want to know what is the lip color Bobbi is wearing in the picture with her husband. She looks absolutely amazing in that picture: truly happy and beautiful.

    Bobbi is a gem and a great role model for women.
    I like clogs too, but I can’t seem to find a pair that fit my feet.

    You only seem to get better with age, Bobbi. I have developed a healthy respect for your beauty philosophy and you. It’s so refreshing to see a woman aging gracefully and her desire to embrace what one is born with. Novel concept!! I raise my glass and toast your 20 year anniversary, and wish you many more healthy, happy years!!

    Hi Bobs: I’m really loving your blog. I completely agree with your peeve about people who are dishonest - that certainly is one intolerable and unnecessary trait. The picture of you and your husband, Steve is so beautiful. You both look incredible! I’m so happy that you shared with us all! Great thanks for everything, Bobbi. You’re looking even more radiant these days than ever. I think I might have to try this new “Burn & Build Body” thing you’ve got going on. Looking forward ….

    Love, Rosie xo

    Hi .. I am from Kuwait and I adore makeup and certainly your brand .today I was in your new shop in the avenues mall in Kuwait to try out some of the products that I have read about . I also saw some of the brushes that were absolutely nice , I have tried Mac , and makeup forever brushes , and now it’s time to try Bobbie brown as well. Will try to purchase one at a time as the brush cost is quite high to me. Thanks again for your great products and the great skin care . And best good luck issues from kuwait

    I absolutely LOVE Bobbi Brown!!! I love her style, her makeup, her classic, simple, yet sophisticated look.
    Bobbi is beautiful inside and out, and it is evident that she leads a very healthy life. I am so happy to see someone so into healthy eating as well as beauty, makeup and fashion. What an inspiration!

    I am I adore her glasses and would love to know what brand they are. Does anyone know?
