Bobbe Joy grew up in Los Angeles and worked with the beauty mogul Jon Peters, whose clients included Hollywood elites. Jon gave Bobbe a space in his hair salon, where she embarked on her career as a makeup artist. Eventually, Bobbe went out on her own working with Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell, and many other stars who counted Bobbe among their best friends. In addition to her makeup career, Bobbe also developed her own line of beauty projects. Raising Eyebrows: Confessions of a Beverly Hills Makeup Artist includes an easy-to-follow guide to applying makeup the “Bobbe way.”
