Behind the Concealer: 7 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Makeup Mogul Bobbi Brown

— -- There are successful makeup artists, and then there’s Bobbi Brown.

In the world of beauty, she’s practically a legend.

She made a name for herself in the 1980’s by encouraging women to be natural.

During a time when makeup was pretty extreme, red lips, pale skin and lots of contouring, she launched a line of 10 brown lipstick shades that debuted in the iconic department store Bergdorf Goodman in New York, then four years later she sold her brand to Estee Lauder.

Today her empire continues to thrive, from her global brand of cosmetics and skin care sold in 60 countries to a New York Times best-selling author and even an eyewear collection to “teach women how to select frames that enhance their natural beauty and complement their skin tones.”

The cosmetics guru and mother of three boys has spent her career empowering women with her mantra “Be Pretty. Be confident. Be Who You Are.”

But being beautiful doesn't have to break the bank.

In an interview with ABC’s chief business and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis, Brown shared a few of her favorite at-home beauty remedies that you can find right in your kitchen.

“I like having warm water and lemon, once or twice a day. It's really good for you,” Brown explained.

“If your skin is oily, lemon is great, but lemon is also really good, if you have a dark spot from the sun, if you apply lemon every day, it'll lighten the spot,” said Brown.

“Lemon also will add highlights to your hair in the summer, if you have dark hair,” she added.

“For the lips, brown sugar and the honey together is the perfect lip scrub,” Brown told ABC News.

But Jarvis also wanted to get to know this powerful woman who’s always inspiring others to look their best. So she did a little Real Biz Rapid Fire to get to know the beauty queen behind the brand.
