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.
