Nice women never wore makeup. Even the word was taboo in polite society-until Maximum Factor inserted the scene. Blessed in Poland in 1877, Factor performed as a beautician for the Russian royal family, the Romanovs. In 1904, he fled to America, where he opened a beauty products store in LA. Creating makeup originally for silent videos, then your talkies, and, ultimately, color motion pictures, Factor designed looks for Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Bette Davis, and many other beauties of your day. Soon women everywhere wanted to seem like their favorite glamorous superstars, and Factor was there to help, delivering his innovative beauty products to everyone. He revolutionized the world of beauty by producing many firsts: incorrect eyelashes, lip gloss, basis, eye darkness, the eyebrow pencil, concealer, wand-applicator mascara, and water-resistant make-up. A true innovator, he also created the idea of color harmony and the celebrity-endorsed beauty products advertising that forms the glamorous backbone of the present day industry. Maximum Factor was the father of modern make-up. This is his extraordinary account.
