Victoria Jackson is a trailblazing entrepreneur, pioneering makeup artist, and devoted philanthropist whose influence spans beauty, charity, and innovation. Rising to fame in the 1980s for creating the original no-makeup makeup, she built Victoria Jackson Cosmetics into a celebrated brand sold on QVC for over a decade. Beyond beauty, she co-founded The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation to fund research for neuromyelitis optica and later launched Kind Science with Ellen DeGeneres, proving her resilience, vision, and dedication extend far beyond the spotlight.
