Living Beauty with Bobbi Brown
Beauty expert Bobbi Brown and Lord & Taylor partner to benefit Dress for Success Worldwide.
During a recent appearance at the Eastchester Lord & Taylor in Scarsdale, celebrity makeup artist Bobbi Brown met with over 200 women who had come for an evening of beauty with Bobbi's team of makeup artists.
After having their makeup applied, chocolate covered strawberries, champagne and sparkling water with lime eased the wait in line to chat with Bobbi, who is also the founder and CEO of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
Sitting with each woman and the makeup artist who had applied her makeup, Bobbi answered beauty questions and critiqued the makeup application.
At the end of each consultation, Bobbi handpicked a travel size cosmetic sample from her Spring collection and signed a copy of her new book, Bobbi Brown Living Beauty ($29.99, Springboard), for each customer to take home.
