Bobbi Brown defines ‘power’ in her own words


Okay, so here's the story that I think for me brought the the normal bobby brown to light the most in the best way. So see um has turned down so many dinners, so many events as famous people to be home to be with her husband, to be with her kids. And I remember one story about saying noted in the region paul Gautier because he wanted to be in a robe and hang out with your husband and your kids. Yes. And and I also once turned down doing Nicole Kidman's makeup on a certain night live to go to geno Goldberg, 40th birthday. He's now 65. He texted me an hour ago said please say hello to poppy, I love you, but I love her more, you know, gold dinner. But you know, I mean this is a great story. I believe you turned down. By the way, you don't like just turn it down. You think about it, you talk to your friends, you obsess about it, what do I do, what do I not do? But I ended up making the right decision, but you don't know that at the time because then I felt bad. I turned it down, Oh my God shall never hire me again. Didn't you tell her this? I actually ran into her in a bathroom in the Bahamas once. Yes, and I told her so let's get to how you made that call though, because that's really important for those of us coming up or trying um because we often don't make that call and then we feel guilty and um how did you make that call and continue to succeed? Right? Because often times I think if I miss this, if I miss that, I won't make the connection to get the next thing. How it's not like you did that now, you did that as you were coming up. I did because I realized first of all, you know, look, I I was a working makeup artist, I was, you know, starting this cosmetics company and I worked in the city and I lived in Montclair New Jersey with my husband and the little kids. You know what, I could either get dressed up and uncomfortable clothes and go, you know, walk around the room, eat bad food, I'll wake up in the morning, I'll be bloated, my feet will hurt or I could be in my pajamas and you know bathe my kids. I kind of always made the comfortable choices and the more I am getting older the more I realize those comfortable choices, they're different all of us by the way. They just kind of feel right and they allow you to just do what's right for you, what I do isn't right for everybody, but what's right for you? You got to just figure it out and you have the power, what if power for you for me? Power is to be able to do what I love do what I believe in, give back, meet new people, experience new opportunities, you know, reach out to the amazing connections I have and that that's I don't know what else is power? Power is also being happy by the way, because happiness is the best cosmetics for beauty in the world. I'm not kidding, And this works, too, if you don't have blood. Mhm. Mhm.
