			'''[https://g.co/kgs/f4W2ZQ8 Victoria Jackson]''' (born 1955, New York City, United States) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, cosmetics innovator, and author. She is best known as the founder of Victoria Jackson Cosmetics and a pioneer of the “No Makeup Makeup” movement, which redefined beauty standards by promoting natural, minimalist aesthetics.<ref>https://officialvictoriajackson.com/</ref> Her legacy spans beauty entrepreneurship, healthcare philanthropy, rare disease advocacy, and female empowerment.

			== Early Life and Education ==
			Victoria Jackson was born in 1955 in New York City. From an early age, she developed a deep interest in beauty not merely as a matter of appearance but as a tool for building self-confidence and inner strength. While detailed information about her formal education is limited, her formative years were driven by a desire to uplift others and make beauty more inclusive and empowering.<ref>http://www.fatmascara.com/blog/victoria-jackson</ref>

			Raised in a period when heavy makeup was the norm, Jackson challenged the prevailing standards by embracing a more natural approach to beauty. Her core belief was that makeup should enhance, not mask. This philosophy would later influence her revolutionary approach to cosmetics and branding.<ref>https://www.happi.com/breaking-news/victoria-jackson-launches-no-makeup-makeup-brand/</ref>

			== Personal Life ==
			[https://g.co/kgs/f4W2ZQ8 Victoria Jackson] is married to businessman and entrepreneur Bill Guthy, co-founder of the direct marketing powerhouse Guthy-Renker. The couple shares a passion for philanthropy and has worked together on multiple charitable initiatives. They have children, one of whom diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening disease became the inspiration behind the creation of the Jackson-Gabriel Silver Foundation, which funds medical research into epidermolysis bullosa (EB).<ref>https://people.com/makeup-mogul-victoria-jackson-quit-beauty-save-daughter-now-shes-back-exclusive-8777827</ref>

			== Career ==
			Jackson began her career as a makeup artist and quickly rose to prominence as one of the most influential beauty entrepreneurs of the late 20th century. In the 1980s, she launched Victoria Jackson Cosmetics, a groundbreaking beauty brand built on the radical idea of “No Makeup Makeup”—a concept that encouraged women to embrace their natural features through subtle and simplified beauty routines.<ref>https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/beauty-industry-pioneer-victoria-jackson-launches-no-makeup-makeup---a-new-era-of-color-cosmetics-302209145.html</ref>

She often addressed viewers directly, blending product education with messages of empowerment and self-worth. The brand’s accessible pricing and relatable messaging resonated with millions of women, helping it become a major player in the U.S. cosmetics industry.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-02-28-fi-37115-story.html</ref>

			Jackson is also a published author of several books focused on beauty, confidence, and personal transformation. Her writing and frequent appearances on national television shows such as ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'', ''The View'', and ''Larry King Live'' helped amplify her influence beyond cosmetics and into public discourse on self-esteem and resilience.<ref>https://officialvictoriajackson.com/</ref>

			A turning point in her career came when her daughter was diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic disorder.

She co-founded the Jackson-Gabriel Silver Foundation, which has since become a leader in funding EB research and supporting affected families.<ref>https://guthyjacksonfoundation.org/videos/how-to-make-a-difference/</ref>
