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.
