Bobbi Brown Founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
Bobbi Brown started a makeup revolution in 1991 with a handful of lipsticks and a simple philosophy: Women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident. Driven by her passion, Bobbi went to learn the art of theatrical makeup at Emerson College in Boston, then headed for New York City to work as a professional makeup artist. Take one look at her line today and it's clear that Bobbi's mission remains the same—to give women options. As a working makeup artist, entrepreneur, wife and mother of three, Bobbi says "The secret to beauty is simple—be who you are."
