Basten this large coffee table style hardcover book with dustjacket is in very good condition. - There is no writing nor torn or missing pages - Dustjacket is in very good condition with very minor wear (see photos) For most of the 20th century, the name Max Factor has been synonymous with beauty, glamour, and style. This book goes behind the name to show how a mild-mannered Russian immigrant became a legend. Hundreds of rare archival photos showcase the timeless beauty of legends such as Barbara Stanwyck, Jean Harlow, and Carole Lombard. 200 photos. The story of Max Factor as he rose from Russian immigrant to Hollywood royalty-the man who brought glamour to the stars and regular folks alike with the invention of pancake makeup, no fade lipstick and the idea that makeup should fit a woman's coloring. (He had rooms in his store for blondes, brownettes, brunettes and redheads-all color coded and enhanced to work with the skin tones of the women in each category!) The star of this book is definitely the photographs, however. Make-up test shots, his early years in Russia, wig making contraptions, print ads of the stars endorsing his products-the pictures tell a better story than the text!
