By Gabi Duncan
The beauty industry in particular has some powerful girl bosses who are changing the game in major ways—these ladies are charitable, entrepreneurial, and are disrupting the beauty space in the best way possible.
Keep scrolling to find out who they are!
Bobbi Brown
Bobbi Brown has been a force in the makeup industry for over two decades, inspiring women with one simple beauty philosophy: “Be who you are.” Her Pretty Powerful Campaign promotes that message by empowering women and girls around the world. In honor of this year’s International Women’s Day, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is introducing the Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge in Pretty Powerful II. All proceeds of the blush will be donated to the Girl Rising Fund, which aims to remove barriers to education for girls in developing countries.
Emily Weiss
When former Vogue assistant Emily Weiss couldn’t find anything on the Internet that inspired her, she decided to start her own beauty blog, Into the Gloss, in 2010. Fast-forward five years and ITG is one of the most popular sites in the industry, with product reviews and interviews with models, makeup artists, and influencers. Last fall, Weiss also launched Glossier, a beauty brand that offers a line of skin essentials for the modern cool-girl.
Eva Chen
At 34, Lucky magazine’s editor-in-chief Eva Chen is the youngest editor at a major women’s magazine, bringing her fresh personality and vibe to the publication. Chen is a style and beauty authority, offering up the best advice for the everyday essentials that we need in our lives. And where would we be without her incredible Tumblr and Instagram feed? Completely lost, that’s where.
Linda Rodin
Now, here is a woman that proves age is nothing but a number. At 66, Linda Rodin is the ultimate badass, with an amazing skincare line and major modeling campaigns. The former fashion stylist (she’s dressed Madonna, Halle Berry, and Gisele Bundchen!) launched her beauty brand Rodin Olio Lusso in 2007 after creating her signature Luxury Face Oil by mixing essential oils in her bathroom. Her lavish skincare brand also includes body oil, hair oil, lip balm, body cream, and perfume.
Hannah Bronfman
Thanks to Hannah Bronfman, you can now schedule same-day beauty and wellness services at the touch of a button. Bronfman is the cofounder of Beautified, a mobile app that offers an easy way to book appointments without the wait time. In addition to her entrepreneurial ventures, Bronfman is also a model, DJ, and fitness and lifestyle guru. Go check out her Instagram account for some healthy inspiration!
Pat McGrath
If there’s one word to describe Pat McGrath, it’s incomparable. Don’t believe us? Vogue magazine called her the most influential makeup artist in the world. Over the past two decades, McGrath has worked her magic on the runways from New York City to Milan, yet her international career seems to just be warming up. She’s also the Global Creative Design Director of Procter & Gamble, overseeing the cosmetic divisions of Cover Girl, Dolce & Gabbana, and Max Factor.
