Bobbe Joy Dawson author of Raising Eyebrows
My guest today is celebrity make-up artist Bobbe Joy Dawson. She is the author of a new memoir entitled “Raising Eyebrows: Confessions of a Beverly Hills Makeup Artist.”
Bobbe began her career in the 1960s as a receptionist at the salon of a childhood friend, celebrity hair stylist Jon Peters. Throughout her more than 50 years in the business she has worked with many Hollywood legends and some of the world’s most highly respected fashion and beauty photographers.
Bobbe’s Fearless Trajectory
At every step of her career Bobbe jumped in with both feet, sometimes not knowing exactly how to do something, but always willing to try. In her early fifties, she developed an extremely popular line of cosmetics, often blending custom formulas for her customers and clients.
In our interview she shares some great personal stories, including many from the book, about her experiences with celebrity clients. The last chapter, one of my favorite parts, has checklists and illustrations demonstrating how to do a complete face of makeup, or a five-minute “one and done” look. I look forward having time to read the rest of the book!
Links From Our Interview
FYI – in the interview Bobbe mentions two products. On her website, the “Things I love” tab shows the face primer she recommends from Joe Blasco. The skin cream she spoke about is from Weleda, one of the companies that cares about safe ingredients. And it’s really inexpensive!
