Besides selling his own make- up products he soon became the West Coast distributor of both Leichner and Minor, two leading theatrical make- up manufacturers. In the early years of movie- making, greasepaint in stick form, although the accepted make- up for use on the stage, could not be applied thinly enough, nor where did colors work satisfactorily on the screen. Factor began experimenting with various compounds in an effort to develop a suitable make- up for the new film medium. By 1. 91. 4 he had perfected his first cosmetic product. With this major achievement to his credit, Max Factor became the authority on cosmetics in film- making. Soon movie stars were eager to sample his "flexible greasepaint".

In the early years of the business Factor personally applied his products to actors and actresses. He developed a reputation for being able to customize makeup to present actors and actresses in the best possible light on screen. Among his most notable clients were Ben Turpin, Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford, Pola Negri, Jean Harlow, Claudette Colbert, Bette Davis, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Judy Garland. As a result, virtually all of the major movie actresses were regular customers of the Max Factor beauty salon, located near Hollywood Boulevard. In 1. 91. 8 Max Factor completed development of his "Color Harmony" range of face powder which, due to its wide range of shades, allowed him to customize and provide more consistent make- up for each individual actor or actress.

He created many appearances for these actresses, such as Clara Bow's heart- shaped/pierrot lips. Years later, he exaggerated Joan Crawford's naturally full lips to distinguish her from the many would- be stars copying the Clara Bow look he created. He also created shades specifically for them: Platinum (for Jean Harlow), Special Medium (for Joan Crawford), Dark (for Claudette Colbert) and Light Egyptian (for Lena Horne). For Rudolph Valentino he created makeup which complemented his complexion, and masked the darkness of his skin on screen.

In 1. 92. 0 Max Factor gave in to his son Frank’s suggestion and officially began referring to his products as "make- up" based on the verb phrase "to make up" (one's face). Until then the term "cosmetics" had been used; the term "make- up" was considered vulgar, to be used only by people in the theater or of dubious reputation and not something to be used in polite society. In 1. 92. 2 while on holiday in Europe with his wife, Factor visited the headquarters of Leichner in Germany. He was by then the biggest retailer of their theatrical stick greasepaint, yet he was snubbed and kept waiting at reception.[3] Upset at this treatment he left and immediately cabled his sons to begin selling his own brand of greasepaint.

Until then Factor had been making his own greasepaint for use on his clients, but had made no attempt to market it while he was representing other brands. Now he concentrated on his own products, which he offered in a collapsible tube, instead of in the stick form used by other producers.

His tube greasepaint was not only more hygienic but also could be applied more thinly and evenly. Soon Max Factor's version was the leading brand. By the 1. 92. 0s his sons Davis and Frank were heavily involved in the business, with Davis the general manager and Frank assisting his father in the development of new products. In 1. 92. 5 the company received its biggest order to date when it had to complete a rush order to supply 6.

Ben- Hur to ensure that the skin color of the extras used in filming undertaken in America would match that of the darker skinned Italian extras in the scenes filmed in Italy. In 1. 92. 6 for the film Mare Nostrum Max and Frank Factor developed the first waterproof theatrical make- up. By the 1. 92. 0s Max Factor was becoming known outside of the film community, which led to the company in the early 1.

National distribution[edit]While Max Factor was perfectly happy for the company to remain a specialized supplier of products to the film community, his children were convinced that they could grow the company into a much larger enterprise. National distribution began in 1. Sales Builders, an established distribution company, obtained the rights to advertise, distribute and sell Factor’s products.[4]Due to his strong connection with the film community Max Factor was able to use celebrity endorsements in advertising its products. In return for a nominal payment of US$1 to the actress the advertising would also promote the star’s latest film.

Development of Panchromatic[edit]The introduction of sound- on- film led to the replacement of the old noisy carbon lights with tungsten lights, which were much hotter and created a softer light. At the same time the orthochromatic film, which until that time had been used by the industry, was replaced by super- sensitive faster Panchromatic film which noticeably darkened skin colors. These developments required six months of intensive development to create make- up compatible with the new environment. Because they had been designed for black and white film the existing products were unsuitable for everyday use. This new Panchromatic make- up was trademarked in October 1. Asian School Girls Full Movie Part 1. Development of Pan- Cake[edit]The development of Technicolor film required the company to develop a new line of products as its existing Panchromatic make- up left a slight sheen on the skin which reflected surrounding colors. As a result of how bad they looked in color many actors and actresses refused to appear in color films.

Because Max Factor was recovering from being hit by a delivery van at the time, Frank Factor took the lead in the two years it took to develop a suitable make- up, initially called the "T- D" and then renamed the "Pan- Cake" series. It was sold in a solid cake form and applied with a damp sponge which offered the advantage of concealing skin imperfections under a transparent matte finish. Its first appearance was in the film Vogues of 1. It was an immediate hit and its advantages led to women stealing it from the film sets and using it privately. Its only disadvantage for everyday use was that it could not be used at night as it made the skin too dark under all except under the powerful lights used in film studios.

While Max Factor wanted to reserve the product for film use, Frank Factor was open to the commercial possibilities and began developing lighter shades. At the time the company was only able to produce enough to meet studio demand, which delayed commercial release until production could be increased. The company used the release of Vogues of 1.

August 1. 93. 7 and five months later The Goldwyn Follies, the second film to use the make- up, to commercially release Pan- Cake to the public, backed by a color- based national advertising campaign. It immediately became the fastest and largest selling single make- up item to date, as well as the standard make- up used in all Technicolor films. Watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 Megavideo.

Factor helped to develop a mask- like device to measure the contours of subjects' faces. He called it the "Beauty Micrometer". Its purpose was to detect even barely- visible structural flaws, that might be magnified and more- noticeable on camera.
