Description

Bobbi Brown, an American woman, is a Makeup Artist and the Founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
Bobbi Brown believes that "makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself, only prettier and more confident." Through Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Bobbi enables every woman to enhance her unique beauty. With straightforward, easy-to-use cosmetics in timeless hues, all formulated to create a smooth, natural, and healthy appearance.

Even as a young girl, Bobbi was enthralled by makeup. "I remember watching my mother apply her white eye shadow and black liner in her blue gilded bathroom - she was glamorous, but fresh-looking."

Bobbi's education continued at Boston's Emerson College. Upon graduation in theatrical makeup, she moved to New York City to make it as a professional makeup artist. She showed her ever-growing portfolio to anyone who would look at it, slowly built up contacts, and experienced the challenges typical of most freelance makeup artists trying to make it in Manhattan.

Bobbi's big breakthrough was her first American Vogue cover. The image was shot by famed photographer Patrick Demarchelier and featured the soon-to-be-supermodel Naomi Campbell, made up by Bobbi Brown. Seven years after arriving to New York City knowing no one, Bobbi was part of the club.

As a successful makeup artist with access to everything in the market, Bobbi found nearly all products looked too artificial, making it impossible to create a gorgeous, no-makeup look.

Ten years into her freelance career, a chance meeting with a chemist at a magazine photo shoot changed everything. "I had the idea to create a lipstick that didn't smell, wasn't dry or greasy, and looked like lips, only better - and I told the chemist about it," she says.

The chemist made the lipstick following Bobbi's unprecedented specifications and the result was Brown Lip Color, a pinky-brown shade. Nine other brown-based lipstick shades followed soon after, and Bobbi's set of lipsticks was complete.

In 1991, her 10 lipsticks debuted at the Bergdorf Goodman under the name of Bobbi Brown essentials. Bobbi was expecting to sell 100 in a month. She sold 100 within the first day.

The message was clear: Women wanted makeup that was simple, flattering, and wearable.

Word spread quickly. Bobbi's unique approach to cosmetics was a long-awaited gift for women who wanted a more natural look.

The range expanded beyond lipstick. Bobbi's foundations were yellow-based, not pink, revolutionizing face makeup as it's known today. And, before long, she showed that she was as adept at neutrals as she was at bright and bold colors.
