Bobbi Brown Reveals Her Number-1 Tip for Looking ‘Good' at 68—and It May Surprise You
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Bobbi Brown discussed how she 'feels good' at 68. The confidence isn't all about wearing makeup. 'If you don't feel good, you don't look good,' she said. Feeling your best isn't all about perfecting a go-to makeup look, even for Bobbi Brown. Her tactic for looking 'good' at 68 is just as much about inner work, she shared while recently accepting the Trailblazer Award for her dedication to healthy aging at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. 'True beauty is about being comfortable in your skin,' she earnestly told the audience. 'If you don't feel good, you don't look good.' And how do you accomplish the latter? Sure, mascara helps. But connection and support can really do the heavy lifting. While growing one of the most innovative, functional cosmetics brands for mature women, Jones Road Beauty, Brown is using its platform and success to bring women together and create community—the true and real glow-getter. She even started a YouTube series called I Am Me in which she interviews influential thought leaders and fellow trailblazers to inspire others to follow their dreams, think outside of the box, and most importantly, prioritize connection. 'I find when women get together and support each other, miracles happen,' Brown said at the award ceremony. The speech from Brown at the event mimics many other talks she's given and even Instagram captions she's written. She wants people her age (and every age) to know their worth, embrace where they're at, and highlight the positive parts of it, whether that be with the help of a flush of Miracle Balm to add some radiance to the skin, or an inspiring chat with a friend after a hard day. Such an approach to life allows Brown to go with the flow and live with more self-confidence. 'I'm shocked sometimes when I look in the mirror and I'm like, 'Oh my god, who is that?' and other times I'm like, 'I look pretty good!'' she said in a March episode of I Am Me. 'And then I realize that neither of them really matter.' The series, Brown's speech, and the award she was given all lean into what she hopes to represent: 'A reminder that we're all a work in progress—and that's OK,' she wrote in a blog post promoting the YouTube project. 'Just be you. Be your best. Everything you need is right there.' And that's how to truly feel good.

Bronx Museum Gala And Auction Raises Over $800,000 To Amplify Under-Respected Artists
L-R: Abbott Stillman, Ebony G Patterson, Eileen Jeng Lynch, Futura 2000, Joseph Museum ... More of the Arts 2025 Gala & Art Auction Honoring Futura 2000, Ebony G. Patterson and Abbott Stillman From Elizabeth Catlett's terra-cotta head Elvira (1997) – a universal celebration of the goddess within every woman – to Sanford Biggers' roughly six-foot-tall woodcut Afropick (2005) – headed by a fist clenched in a Black Power salute – The Bronx Museum of the Arts is a comprehensive art historical retelling of great artists whose work has too often been overlooked, undermined, or cast aside by the broader global art world. Beyond artists like Catlett and Biggers – who have earned renown as influential masters, but not the art market compensation of their white peers – The Bronx Museum shines a spotlight on emerging artists whose work challenges cultural and social norms and whisks viewers out of their comfort zones. Whether it is the elegance of interdisciplinary artist Miguel Braceli's Here Lies a Flag (2021) which combats settler colonialism, or the macabre glam of Afro-Caribbean conceptual artist Yelaine Rodriguez's La Hija de Shango immersive altars, which explores Afro-diasporic resistance and cultural inheritance, there is much to be learned in any visit to the permanent collection or special exhibitions. As U.S. museum funding faces uncertainty following President Trump's executive order calling for the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), it is more important than ever to support our precious and essential creative and cultural resources. The precarity of access to funding arts magnified the joy emanating from the Tribeca Rooftop last week when The Bronx Museum raised more than $800,000 in its ongoing efforts to amplify artists whose identities have been historically marginalized and to engage audiences in The Bronx and beyond through free exhibitions, arts education, and programming. Bronx Museum of the Arts 2025 Gala & Art Auction Honoring Futura 2000, Ebony G. Patterson and Abbott ... More Stillman The glamorous fete honored pioneering visual artist FUTURA 2000 with the Trailblazer Award, presented by graffiti artist Zephyr. The museum paid homage to the evolution of the New York artist (born Leonard Hilton McGurr) from early graffiti to contemporary abstraction during a retrospective that closed last month. In the most comprehensive gaze into FUTURA 2000's half-century career, BREAKING OUT showcased his sculptures, drawings, prints, studies, collaborations, and archival paraphernalia dating from the 1970s to the present, along with new site-specific temporary installations. The Bronx Museum was founded in 1971, just as FUTURA 2000 began making his mark on the city through street art. FUTURA 2000 fluidly transported his practice to the studio, drawing spray paint, aerosol, and stencils into an innovative creative journey into abstraction. Futura 2000 honored with Trailblazer Award at The Bronx Museum of the Arts 2025 Gala & Art Auction 'Our deepest appreciation goes out to everyone who supported The Bronx Museum's 2025 Gala & Art Auction (April 7) evening where we celebrated our three stellar honorees. We are especially grateful to our board of trustees for their generosity and fundraising savvy, our gala host committee, and, of course, our gala sponsors,' said Interim Co-Directors Shirley Solomon and Yvonne Garcia. 'Thank you as well to the talented artists who donated their work to our auction. Proceeds from the evening will continue furthering our mission of making contemporary art accessible to all and uplifting artists who have historically been excluded from the art historical narrative.' The gala also awarded Kingston, New York, and Chicago-based artist Ebony G. Patterson, a MacArthur Fellowship (Genius Grant) winner in 2024 for Visual Arts, with the Visionary Award, presented by Miranda Lash, chief curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Denver. Patterson's 2023 installation at the New York Botanical Garden, some four miles north of the museum, opened a dialogue about our relationships to post-colonial gardens and the natural world. 'I aim to elevate those who have been deemed invisible/un-visible as a result of inherited colonial social structures, by incorporating their words, thoughts, dress, and pageantry as a tactic to memorialize them. It is a way to say: 'I am here, and you cannot deny me,'' Patterson said. Recognizing the need to identify and support local artists, as well as those who give back to the community, the museum bestowed The Bronx Creative Vanguard Award to Abbott Stillman, presented by eponymous gallery owner Brigitte Mulholland. Abbott abandoned a successful career creating award-winning buildings to transform into an influential painter. The 2025 live auction was conducted by Kimberly Pirtle of Sotheby's, featuring artworks by Ethiopian-born American contemporary artist Awol Erizku, The Bronx- and Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico-based artist Gamaliel Rodríguez, Stillman, and FUTURA 2000, as well an exclusive studio visit with artist Rashid Johnson. PLEASE NOTE: A transformative renovation of The Bronx Museum is currently underway, and all exhibitions and events will take place in the north galleries during construction, all exhibitions and events will take place in the north galleries. The south galleries will reopen when construction is complete in 2026.

Oasis Trailblazer 2025: Kerwyn Jones-Wilson building a future and inspiring others
When it comes to building community, few can say they're involved both figuratively and literally. But Kerwyn Jones-Wilson, President of the National Association of Women in Construction Tallahassee Chapter and the first woman to become a Florida Master Builder, has been designing and building homes as a contractor for more than 15 years while also helping other women pave their own paths to success. 'Commit to making a difference,' Jones-Wilson said, 'and you will become a catalyst for change, inspiring others to join you on a meaningful path.' The Oasis Center for Women and Girls is recognizing the Gadsden County native this year as part of Women's History month, honoring Jones-Wilson with a Trailblazer Award, which serves to spotlight inspiring members of the community. Of the recognition, Jones-Wilson said, 'Embrace your uniqueness, ignite the spark in others, and keep forging ahead.' 2025 Awards: Tallahassee's Oasis Center names honorees during Women's History Month Jones-Wilson is an active real estate agent and owner and CEO of Jones Construction and Design, LLC, located in Quincy. Her passion for construction aligns with her role as coordinator of TradeswHERk, a community awareness campaign highlighting and encouraging increased training and employment opportunities for women in the skilled trades, part of the Women Wednesdays organization, which is dedicated to collaboration among women, along with programming and opportunities that promote growth and visibility. Jones-Wilson is most proud of 'learning to make quick, effective decisions while keeping long-term goals in mind, turning failures into opportunities even in the face of setbacks.' Just like in the many other industries where women are taking on new roles and responsibilities, construction poses unique challenges. 'Things do not always go as I planned but I try to make the best of it. I try to encourage others to stay motivated,' Jones-Wilson said. 'There will be many rewards along your journey, but you will not know unless you try.' Written collaboratively by The Oasis Center for Women & Girls.
