Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown began her career at a time when the blonde, Scandinavian look was in vogue. Fed up with the lack of make up being marketed towards women who looked like her, she created her own products targeted at women of all shades. She launched her eponymous brand in 1990 with a small collection of lipsticks which quickly sold out in stores. With a career spanning over three decades Bobbi Brown has become synonymous with the clean, polished look coveted by women around the world. Nomsa Maseko talks to her about building a successful business and encouraging inclusiveness in an exclusive industry.
