Bobbi Brown is also the pioneer of natural makeup style in the world.
From a mail order company in the early 90s, Bobbi Brown cosmetics has grown into an empire with stores in 68 countries around the world.
Brown’s passion for makeup artistry developed at a young age.
Bobbi Brown has built a billion-dollar cosmetics empire.
Brown never liked studying.
After earning a degree in theatrical makeup at Emerson College (Boston, USA), Brown moved to New York.
But even though her makeup career was on the rise, Brown still felt uncomfortable because of the less-than-natural lipsticks and eyeshadows.
A chance meeting with a pharmacist from Kiehl’s cosmetics during a photo shoot led Brown to create his first lipstick – Brown Lip Color.
Her products are aimed at women’s natural beauty.
Four years later, the Brown company was founded with only $10,000 and defeated cosmetics giant Estee Lauder at major shopping centers.
Talking about her role in the cosmetics industry, she said: “Everyone I know in this industry really wants to create products that help women feel more beautiful and confident.
Today, Brown still does makeup for models in her advertising campaigns.
“I wanted to create a place to help women get real answers not only about beauty methods but also lifestyle, confidence and everything that can help them be successful and happy.
Brown is also very diligent in charity work.
Brown joked that she is a typical type A person – hard-working and highly productive, but not so that she ignores family fun.
However, the 57-year-old businesswoman still has no intention of hanging up her brush.
