World-renowned makeup artist Bobbi Brown released her seventh beauty book titled “Pretty Powerful: Beauty Stories to Inspire Confidence.” The Macy’s store at Dadeland Mall in Miami was one of the stops during Brown’s national book tour, celebrating her seventh beauty publication. Her many fans came not only to buy her book but to also snag a photo-op with the charming Brown.
Known for her instructional and engaging beauty and lifestyle books, this book is different in that she interviews real women, celebrities and athletes about what beauty means to them, all with interesting, inspirational and motivational stories to tell. This is a particularly eye-opening book for teens and sends a strong message about accepting yourself, especially because it comes from someone like Brown.
“Pretty Powerful” provides readers with the makeup tricks and tips that they have come to expect from Brown, but it also delivers the uplifting message that all women are beautiful. Brown takes a unique approach in Pretty Powerful by categorizing women into styles that reflect their personalities and their looks — natural, radiant, strong, classic, authentic, bold. Interestingly, this mogul whose business deals with improving a woman’s appearance via cosmetics, delves into her personal philosophy of eating well and exercising because your interior health is even more important than your exterior.
Within each of these sections, women who have that certain style are grouped — Philanthropist Lauren Bush heads up the Pretty Natural crowd; Pretty Radiant opens with actress Gabourey Sidibe; Boxer Keisher “Fire” McLeod-Wells introduces Pretty Strong; Pretty Classic begins with model Nancy Donahue; Author Lee Woodruff sets up Pretty Authentic; and singer Estelle launches Pretty Bold. As Brown has always aimed to accentuate a woman’s natural beauty, readers can easily find themselves within these pages and can explore different styles that relate to them personally.
Brimming with hundreds of makeover ideas, recommendations for the best tools and products, inspiring beauty stories from today’s most inspiring women, and expert tips not found anywhere else, “Pretty Powerful” is the go-to guide for lasting beauty.
