Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
From LoveToKnow Makeup
One of the most successful makeup companies in the market today is Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
Company Background
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.

Hi Mildred,

For something like that, you would need to contact Bobbi Brown herself (see the body of this article for the official website). Once you get to the website, look for a "contact us" or similar option and then write to the company. We wish you the best of luck with your website!
