That was a long time ago.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But one time in Chicago, her shared name almost made her miss an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2021\/05\/19\/prince-harry-to-drop-more-truth-bombs-in-apple-tv-series\/\">on \u201cOprah.\u201d<\/a> She was waiting outside of the Four Seasons Hotel for the car to pick her up. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I kept calling. \u2018They\u2019re not here. They\u2019re not here.\u2019 And I would go over to the limousines and they look at me and, like, shoo me away,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd finally I called someone back in my office and they said, \u2018[The driver is] there.\u2019 Some guy was looking for the other Bobby Brown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funnily enough, her father is named James Brown, so they have some serious musical names in the family. Which led me to ask: How did this 5-foot-0 Chicago native discover the passion that would make her a household name?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-acast\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Contour and Conquer ft.

It was the \u201970s. It was fun. I was not a student. I actually felt that I wasn\u2019t smart enough,\u201d she said. \u201cI was bored to death and I didn\u2019t get the greatest grades, except when it was art or an amazing teacher or something that I thought was interesting. And my parents really thought that I would probably just get married and not really do anything. So I think I\u2019ve proven them differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s putting it mildly. Bobbi is an absolute rock star businesswoman and innovator in the cosmetics field. In 1991, she started her eponymous line, which championed the \u201cnatural makeup\u201d look. Est\u00e9e Lauder bought the company, and about five years ago, she left to scratch that entrepreneurial itch. Bobbi started <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/evolution18.com\/\">Evolution 18<\/a>, a wellness and supplement brand. She and her husband bought and redesigned <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeorgemontclair.com\/\">the George<\/a>, a beautiful boutique hotel near their longtime home in Montclair, NJ. And she launched Jones Road, a clean makeup brand that includes the new cult favorite Miracle Balm. In other words, Bobbi is always causing seismic activity in the beauty and wellness space.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not too shabby for someone who said she was sort of clueless about what she wanted out of a career. Her mother sat her down and said she needed to go to college and asked her: If she could do anything in the world, what would it be?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Bobbi Brown\" class=\"wp-image-12678175 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/84277209.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/84277209.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/84277209.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/84277209.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/84277209.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Bobbi Brown takes her famous name in stride.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd I said, \u2018I want to play with makeup at Marshall Field\u2019s.\u2019 She said, \u2018Well, I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a college.\u2019 I found Emerson College in Boston. I went there and I studied theatrical makeup and minored in photography, not knowing what I was going to do,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd somehow it worked out incredible.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She moved to New York to be a makeup artist, and being around the top models molded her identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just the short, cute kid. And what do I do? I go into the fashion industry, where everyone\u2019s got one name: Linda, Christy, Naomi. I\u2019m at Fashion Weeks and on Vogue sets. I started to build a career for myself,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I really had to talk myself into what mattered. Being comfortable in my skin is what mattered, because I couldn\u2019t compare myself to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bobbi Brown\" class=\"wp-image-10954090 lazyload\" width=\"614\" height=\"921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/bbmain.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/bbmain.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=614 614w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 614px\"\/><figcaption>Bobbi Brown started her makeup line in 1991.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Chronicle<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You probably won\u2019t find one of her most crucial keys to success in an MBA textbook, but it makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think one of the things that has helped my success is I\u2019m really naive,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t think something\u2019s not going to work out. I\u2019m not afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For instance, she once pitched Howard Schultz on a coffee-colored makeup palette to be sold at Starbucks. His response?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe thought it was the dumbest idea he ever heard,\u201d Bobbi said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t want it. It was OK. I still put it out in the market and sold it. So I\u2019m not afraid to try things. And things don\u2019t work out. I feel bad for a second, and I just process it and let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One thing she hasn\u2019t let go of is her love of sports, particularly hoops. The mother of three boys grew up a massive Bulls fan and had courtside seats for the Nets. She said she\u2019s only been star-struck twice: by Michael Jordan and George Clooney. Otherwise, she\u2019s the queen of introducing herself to anyone and everyone. That includes 7-foot-6 basketball player Yao Ming. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Bobbi Brown with 7 foot 6 Chinese basketball player Yao Ming.\" class=\"wp-image-19081083 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bobbbi-brown-yao-ming.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bobbbi-brown-yao-ming.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bobbbi-brown-yao-ming.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bobbbi-brown-yao-ming.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=682 682w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bobbbi-brown-yao-ming.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1333 1333w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 682px\"\/><figcaption>Bobbi Brown with 7-foot-6 basketball player Yao Ming. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Bobbi Brown<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure he even heard me,\u201d she said. But there is photographic evidence of this meeting. <\/p>\n<p>She also has her name up in the Emerson gym. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn urban myth is Bobbi Brown played basketball at Emerson, which is really funny,\u201d she said. \u201cThe kids don\u2019t know who I am, but they think I was a basketball player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, I am a basketball player. And I am on television, so I wear makeup. Of course, I don\u2019t use it for my features to pop. I wear it to smooth over imperfections and look good. And I learned that\u2019s what Bobbi does for women with her no-makeup-looking makeup. She said her hashtag is \u201chow not to look like s\u2013t,\u201d which I can definitely get behind. She also was one of the first to create foundation for women of all skin colors. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could go from Oprah to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2020\/09\/16\/al-roker-and-deborah-roberts-celebrate-25th-wedding-anniversary\/\">Deborah Roberts<\/a>,\u201d Bobbi said. \u201cThey all wore these foundations. And Oprah said to me on the show, \u2018How does a little Jewish girl know how to make colors for our skin?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I still need to check her birth certificate, but she claims to be 64. She said what she puts in her body \u2014 instead of what she puts on her face \u2014 makes her look youthful. Bobbi still indulges in alcohol, but she has only one cocktail. Her drink of choice? Tito\u2019s with cucumber and lemon.<\/p>\n<p>I also had to know what trends she hopes will go away. And apologies to every Kardashian and Instagram model, but she said contouring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause that\u2019s telling people there\u2019s something wrong with their face,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>But the best thing Bobbi told me is that she\u2019s a big fan of my podcast. And, well, I have to say it: After this episode, the feeling is absolutely mutual.<\/p>\n<p><em>Detroit native\u00a0<strong>Jalen Rose<\/strong>\u00a0is a member of the University of Michigan\u2019s iconoclastic Fab Five, who shook up the college hoops world in the early \u201990s.
