20 Years of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

After a small editorial mention in a magazine, Bobbi was soon taking countless phone orders from her home and it wasn’t long before she caught the attention of Bergdorf Goodman, which ultimately launched her eponymous collection. Bobbi hoped that she would sell 100 lipsticks in her first month at the store—and she ended up selling them in just one day.

"Lipstick is one of the simplest makeup steps and great way to instantly change your look." Bobbi Brown

Created in celebration of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics’ 20th anniversary, the Limited Edition 1991 Palette features the original ten lipsticks as well as ten NEW bright, modern and wearable colors that showcase how the brand has evolved in the past 20 years. All the shades can be worn alone or mixed together to create your own unique shade.

Why did you create the palette?

It´s a celebration of 20 years in the business. It features my original 10 lip colors and introduces 10 bright, wearable shades that can be blended or mixed with each other to create perfect color.

How did you come up with shades?

The 10 new shades are all about options, and they´re a fun alternative to your everyday lip color.

Can the shades be blended?

The shades look great on their own, but they also blend beautifully. For exmple, Beige is a flattering neutral shade by itself, but it can be mixed with a brighter color, like Orange, Red, Atomic Pink or Watermelon to create a more muted "in-between" shade.

What´s coming up in the next 20 years?

I hope to be doing exactly what I´m doing now - helping women is my passion.
