Bobbi Brown


Bobbi Brown is an internationally renowned make-up artist. Bobbi was born to a Jewish family in Chicago, Illinois on the sixteenth of April 1957. Bobbi`s love of make-up started at an early age when she discovered her mothers collection of make-up. her passion for beauty continued into her teens and led her Emerson College in Boston where she graduated with a degree in theatrical make-up.

After graduating Bobbi moved to New York to become a professional make-up artist. With her desire to be the best it wasn`t long before her talent and drive earned her coveted bookings with the industries top magazines, photographers and models.

Bobbi`s big break through was her American Vogue cover with Naomi Campbell soon to be supermodel. Frustrated by the lack of natural products and chance meeting with a chemist Bobbi created ten flattering lipsticks in neutral brown shades. These were sold in Bergdorf Goodman under the name of Bobbi Brown Essentials. Bobbi was expecting to sell 100 in a month. She sold 100 in her first day. Women wanted a more natural look rather than the thick pancake look of the time. Bobbi expanded her range and her foundation range which was yellow-based not pink revolutionized the industry.
