Called the “Queen of Beauty” and the most influential lone woman to impact the beauty industry since Estée Lauder by the New York Times, Leslie Blodgett’s story is anything but ordinary. As the CEO of BareMinerals, she reinvented how beauty was sold by tapping into the power of community before the idea of social media existed. In 2006, Blodgett took the company public in one of the largest cosmetic IPOs of the decade, and in 2010, the company was acquired for $1.8 billion. Pretty Good Advice is her next chapter. This refreshing book features 97 candid and entertaining insights on business, life, and beauty. Personal and often surprising, Blodgett dishes on leading with humor, why wearing blush and reading obituaries are two of the most optimistic things you can do, and why you owe it to your co-workers not to be boring. Pretty Good Advice is full of frank, actionable advice to help light a fire under you.

Evelyn H. ★★★★★

Leslie Blodgett’s story of building a beauty empire is genuinely inspiring, and I love how the book balances her big-picture vision with the nitty-gritty of hard work. The chapter on navigating failure felt so real and useful.

Andrew Z. ★★★★★

I picked up this book for the concrete strategies on scaling a business, and the chapter on building a resilient team was worth the price alone. Leslie’s frank, no-fluff writing makes complex lessons feel actionable. Perfect for anyone juggling big ambitions with daily grind.

Abigail ★★★★★

Leslie’s mix of business grit and personal anecdotes made the section on navigating tough boardroom meetings feel incredibly real. I underlined half the pages in the first chapter alone. Perfect for anyone who wants a candid look behind a beauty empire.
