The fierce rivalry between cosmetics titans Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden spans decades as the two women who invented the modern beauty industry battle for market dominance while refusing to ever meet face to face. From opposite sides of Fifth Avenue, they steal each other's formulas, poach employees, and wage advertising wars, yet share an unspoken bond as self-made women in a man's world.
