Bobbi Brown started out as a makeup artist in New York City, but hated the gaudy color palette of the 1980s.
She eventually shook up the industry by introducing "nude makeup" with neutral colors and a natural tone.
In 1995, Estée Lauder acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and Bobbi remained there for 22 years, until she realized the brand was no longer the one she had built.
