Bobbi Brown

I layer my moisturizers, which makes my complexion so fresh, I can wear less foundation.

The most versatile lipstick you can own is a shade that's just a bit brighter than your natural lip color.

Every season has its lipstick trend, and just because your perfect color is a pinky beige, that doesn't mean you can't wear deep burgundy.

If I'm not comfortable, I'm not happy. When I go to the White House, I wear my jeans.

I don't relax very well, and I find it hard to sit still.

So much of what I do is about inspiring and empowering women.

Whether you are a stay-at-home mum, or on the red carpet, or in Afghanistan, the better you feel, the better you do your job.

The best anti-aging product is a great, natural-looking hair color, especially when you're graying.

I'm such a fanatic about exercise that I opened my own gym, 3Sixty Cycling Studio, and I exercise almost every single day.

The most common mistakes women make when applying makeup are not applying it in the proper light and not using their hands as blending tools.

The easiest ways to improve your appearance is with a really good moisturizer that will plump up your skin, a bit of concealer and a creamy blush on your cheek and lip. It's quick and easy and you'll look so much better.

As a makeup artist, I learned quickly that the color of your lips affects the way a lipstick looks. If you see your friend wearing a great color, don't assume it will be right for you.

Many women like to wear nude eye shadow during the day, but it doesn't really do much for you. Instead, try one that's a few shades lighter than your skin tone.

I don't believe any lip shade is off-limits, but texture is key. A sheer lipstick in a healthy pink or neutral color looks more polished and grown-up than a super-shiny gloss.

I used to think that if I didn't have time to do an hour long workout class, there wasn't any point in exercising. But now, I make sure to do a little something every day: a brisk walk for 10 minutes, climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator. Then a few times a week, I do a longer workout.

I've had a lifelong love affair with makeup. When I was a little girl, I used to take my mother's makeup and paint all of my dolls' faces, and I even painted the dog's face!

Personalized beauty is about each woman being able to create her own makeup routine that complements her coloring and style.

I won't put a product out that I don't 100 percent believe in. All of my products are made from the best ingredients and are made to make a woman feel like herself, only prettier and more confident.

Concealers are like undergarments. They make you feel taller and thinner.

I am in an industry that makes women feel bad about themselves, absolutely.

I never in a million years thought I would be the person to go to for self-esteem; that was not my intent. But I happen to love beauty, I love the way people look, and I love making women look beautiful.

I've learned that I am allowed to say what I like and what I don't like. And I've learned that I have to be professional and not be everyone's best friend.

Eating right and exercising is more important than what you put on your face.

I'm not really Type A, but A minus.

I love old funky things. Color just makes me happy, and things all lined up.
