Max Factor began developing his “Color Harmony” techniques in 1918. These powders + creams enabled him to customize and provide a more consistent make-up for each individual actor or actress. In 1935 when Max Factor opened his new studio on Highland Boulevard in Hollywood, the main floor featured four makeup rooms that transformed the “look” of Hollywood forever!
