The Amazing Max Factor: Makeup Masterclass In 1935

[@tolduso828]

I did not realise they contoured back then! Amazing x

[@Scampergirl]

and highlighted!

[@TheAzerath]

The average person wouldn’t have been contouring as a part of their day-to-day makeup. This was for film, which, at the time, was approached very similarly to how hair and makeup was done for the stage. And there’s a long history of shaping techniques used for character makeup on the stage dating back to commedia dell’arte in 16th century Europe.

[@tolduso828]

@@TheAzerath great info thank you

[@ChillingOut247]

A lot of these techniques looked better on camera than they do in person, and that's true to this day! Its why when you see someone in person with an excess amount of contour/concealer/foundation/highlighter, it looks extremely odd. @@TheAzerath

[@ChillingOut247]

But on social media, they look pretty.

[@GentleRain21]

There used to be something called Max Factor Pan Cake makeup. I think it came out in the 40s. It looked like pressed powder, but you used a damp sponge to apply it, and it was wonderful. Even when sheer, it covered well, but looked natural and you could build the coverage. I wish it was still around.

Je crois qu’il se fait toujours mais c’est un stick

[@GentleRain21]

@@librepenseuse7376 They still make Pan Stick makeup. It's creamy and a bit heavy, nothing like the Pan Cake makeup. I've never seen anything like Pan Cake.

[@ThatGirlHoney]

I still use it and purchase from Max Factor in Ireland via Amazon

Yes, that's the beauty. I hate how the youtuber style today is to actually look like cake face instead of skin.

[@tracyriordan7011]

Beautiful and fascinating makeover! So cool! ( :

[@emiliaardenne]

I have that makeup brush on the vanity, the toothbrush shaped one. Actually, the design is so chic, it’s shiny black lacquer with streamline red accents on the edge. If anyone is wondering, it was used to gently remove excess powder.

[@MLaker221]

Amazing upscale!! Whatever you did.. that's how it should be done. I dont like the ones that look like water color and googley eyed. I know the source material matters. Fantastic job!!

[@ActualLiteralKyle]

Amazing work as always!!! I almost skipped this because I didn’t realize it was a restoration and colorization. I know it’s not always easy but try to mention it in the name. And also mention in the description the hard work you did in the close captioning!!! It’s always great to see that info

[@snittykitty1]

This was great, really fun to see how it was all done!

[@catherine59226]

Beautiful!

[@L.Spencer]

I didn't read your description fully, but I was thinking she looked like Claudette Colbert. Now I just read that was who she was supposed to look like. I was also reading about the beauty micrometer on wikipedia. A device used to measure facial flaws so they could compensate with makeup.

[@emiliaardenne]

You can see the beauty micrometer in person at The Hollywood Museum in the Max Factor building. It’s where he used to do all the makeup before the stars went to set. Is it weird my first thought when I saw it is that I want to try it? 😂

[@L.Spencer]

My face would probably break it! No, but seriously, it's a really interesting. I should get up to LA a see it, thanks!@@emiliaardenne

I’m surprised he didn’t apply rouge on her cheeks! Thought they all wore that in those days. 😮

[@terrylynn9984]

Looks far better then makeup applied today, love this ❤

[@TheAzerath]

Probably because this was filmed in a fraction of the resolution that the average cell phone has today 😂 Everything looks better with a little low rez soft blur over it

[@terrylynn9984]

@@TheAzerath I just find it's too much contouring these days, I was a teen in the late 1980s, I always wore minimal makeup. Makeup should enhance what you have not change the shape of a person's face. Less is more as well, especially as one gets older.

[@nenabunena]

​@@terrylynn9984same pancake or clown makeup is unattractive imo. Often I see influencers wo makeup and they look absolutely horrible. I prefer minimal to no makeup

[@TheAzerath]

@@terrylynn9984 you say that as if people weren’t slathering on neon blush and blue eyeshadow on the regular in the 80’s 🤣 The irony of you saying that in regard to this video is that stage makeup is being applied here. The products being used are way thicker than you think they are and if this video was in HD, you’d be clutching your pearls over how heavy the application is. He also completely redrew a bunch of her facial features, so for you to claim this is a “minimal” makeup that just “enhances” the actor’s natural looks could not be further from reality.

[@AndreaSnape394]

​@@terrylynn9984A thick layer of what I assume to be heavily greasy foundation, contouring, completely new shape of drawn on eyebrows, and false lashes. Tell me you don't know what minimal makeup is without telling me. And to put down the younger gen for being as experimental as a lot of people were in the 80s is hypocritical.

[@unicornmadness6286]

I heard that all the women wore their makeup the same until the 60s to please the men. It was how the men wanted the women to look and they didn't have a say. I wonder how true this is, I'm sure there's some truth to it.

[@mogx2586]

I doubt it. Women have always been a lot less oppressed than has been previously made out. My nan never wore make up. My mum and my aunt loved the old movies and often wore make up in similar ways.

[@Pieza_De_Queso]

Idk, man. But I think that the fact that until today most of the famous makeup artists (the ones who work for hollywood, stars and REAL trendsetters not random people on social media) are men…Well, I think it says a lot about the beauty industry and about who it is meant to please

[@C1nderfire]

Max factor had the most awesome blue black mascara ever. And it’s gone. I ordered it from overseas and it smelled kind of nasty so if there’s one thing I wish they would bring back is that mascara? It wasn’t bright blue like it is nowadays it was black with dark blue, kinda like when you dye your eyelashes except the blue is just enough to make the whites of your eyes really white.

[@theredbarroness]

I had forgotten that mascara! It was wonderful!

[@C1nderfire]

@@theredbarroness it was! Do you think a cosmetic company would try and put one out like that. Guarantee it would sell out.

*I always apply face powder after the foundation, then the mascara and eyebrow liner the last but, he did the powder the last. Whats the secrete? Any makeup artist to explain?* 😊

[@theredbarroness]

So if there were to be any flakes or smudges or if one of the lashes fell on her face somehow with mascara on it -he could wipe up any errors with out having to then reapply powder.
