When I went to www.hillmancurtis.com I viewed two videos about Bobbi Brown the makeup artist. She tickled my fancy because the beauty and fashion industries go hand in hand. Since fashion is where my interest is I like to keep up on beauty and fashion trends. Bobbi Brown had an interesting design philosophy. She considers each woman she is applying makeup to. Her medium is so personal to each client. In the video she said she, “dreams in color.” She loves to wear makeup, make makeup, and apply makeup on other women.

There were two videos about her on the site. One was a profile on her and the other was about how women felt after she made them up. It was interesting to see both sides. Her and her finished products. The beauty industry is an interesting aspect of design, the packaging, the products, and how the products are used. The application of makeup can be considered art at times. It fascinated me when she said, “it is better to feel than to think.” Which is a crucial part of the design process.
The final product for Bobbi Brown is a woman who is happy and comfortable with her makeup. She said that it is about the woman finding herself in the makeup and not about a woman being someone else by wearing makeup. I think this an organic approach to an art that can be considered superficial.
