Q1.
Max Factor is often called the father of modern make-up. The success story started in Max’s early years.
He was
born Max Faktorowicz in Lodz, Poland, near the Russian border, around 1877. With 10 children,
his parents could not afford formal
education for their children, so at the age of eight Max was placed in an
apprenticeship to a pharmacist. Years of mixing potions for the pharmacy developed his fascination with
cosmetics.
Q2.
Eventually, Max opened his
own shop in a suburb of Moscow, selling hand-made cosmetics. “Health and
beauty products” became an important business for him. A traveling theatrical troupe bought and wore
Max’s make-up and wigs while performing for Russian nobility. Soon Max became the official cosmetic
expert for
members of the Russian court, the Imperial Grand Opera and the Ballet.
Q3.
In 1904, Max and his family moved to the United States. Max Faktorowicz was now Max Factor, the name
given to him at Ellis Island by immigration officials. Now Max Factor was dreaming
of movie actors and
actresses using his products. He moved his family to Los Angeles. In 1914, Max Factor created a make-up
specifically for movie actors that, unlike thick theatrical make-up, would not crack.
