Bobbi Brown began her career in the cosmetic
world as a makeup artist. The driving force steering her into
this path was a frustration with makeup selection. As a young
woman, she struggled in the 1980s with the fashionable beauty
ideals of the time. In this era of flashy heavy makeup, she
began to create her own mixtures to compliment her average brown
looks.
After her completion of a degree in Theatrical
Makeup at Emerson College in Boston, she moved to the city of
New York. Continuing her strife against mainstream cosmetics,
she met up with a chemist and formed her own makeup creations.
Her first initial offering was a line of lipsticks with a mix
and match assortment of ten colors, a rare find at the time. Due
to the strong success of these lip products, in 1991, Bobbi
Brown Cosmetics was formed.
