Bobbi Brown changed the face of makeup with a handful of lipsticks and a simple philosophy: "Women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident. The universally flattering, brown-based lipsticks were a dramatic departure from the cosmetics available at the time, and they ushered in a new era of wearable, natural-looking makeup. Bobbi's unique approach to cosmetics was an instant hit with women who wanted a more natural look and caught the attention of cosmetics empire Estee Lauder Companies, which acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995. However, Bobbi's impact extends well beyond the beauty and fashion industries. Bobbi's belief is that all women possess natural beauty, and with the right tools and knowledge, are empowered to be their very best.
