The 2024 Beauty Inc Awards took place at the Rainbow Room in New York City’s Rockefeller Center yesterday. Those in attendance at the ceremony included Blake Lively, who received the Newcomer Award, and Bobbi Brown, who was honored with the Pete Born Impact Award for her contributions to the beauty industry over three decades. “I’ve always been someone who thought that makeup is really simple, and that anyone could do their own makeup — it’s about teaching them how to do it,” Brown told WWD in a special report of the event.
