Bobbi Brown Exposes TikTok Beauty Trends That Ruin Your Face — and Products That Actually Work

Bobbi Brown, legendary makeup artist and founder of Jones Road Beauty, gets candid about aging, makeup after 40, injectables, beauty trends, foundation mistakes, TikTok beauty advice, and what the beauty industry still gets wrong about women’s faces.In this episode of Live + Well, Bobbi Brown joins Melissa Magsaysay to talk about Jones Road, her new memoir “Still Bobbi,” and the beauty philosophy that has defined her career: Makeup should make you look more like yourself… not transform you into someone else.For more than 30 years, Bobbi has challenged one of the beauty industry’s most persistent messages: that there’s something about your face that needs to be fixed. But in an era of filters, FaceTune, injectables, contouring, and endless before-and-afters, has that pressure actually gotten worse? And what happens when the pursuit of looking “better” starts making your own face feel unfamiliar?Bobbi gets candid about the beauty trends she wishes would disappear, her feelings about injectables, why she hates hearing that someone looks “good for their age,” and what women are getting wrong about foundation, concealer, and makeup after 40. And after building Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, selling the company to Estée Lauder, Bobbi launched Jones Road in her 60s — bringing with her everything she had learned about beauty, business, and what she never wanted to do again. And she has a different perspective on the idea that women who start something new later in life are “reinventing” themselves.You’ll learn:- Why Bobbi Brown believes the beauty industry has historically profited from women’s insecurities-The beauty trend she wishes would disappear-Why she thinks we should stop telling women they look “good for their age”-How to actually find the right foundation shade for your skin-The concealer mistake she sees people making on TikTokBy the end of this conversation, you may think differently about beauty, aging, and what it actually means to look good at any age.
