I would love to see a big revamp of Max Factor. The name alone is iconic in the industry.

Me too! They totally should

I was really surprised a few years ago that Max Factor was actually named Maksymilian Faktorowicz a really talented Polish Jew ❤️. As a Polish girl I hope that such important iconic brand will survive as our nation survived during WW2.

I wish makeup brands would release a flashback to the 50s line

I grew up in Burbank, CA and once I could drive, I’d go exploring in nearby Hollywood. (Late 80’s, early 90’s) The Max Factor museum was on Highland Ave, right near Hollywood Blvd. I took the tour, and was fascinated by what I learned. He was instrumental in color theory, at least with the idea that if you were a blonde, painting your bathroom a light pink would be the most appropriate and beautiful to your complexion and hair. Redheads would use a light green, brunettes a light blue. My grandmother was a huge fan of his, so she had her added-on bathroom done in that soft, light pink. (she was blonde) I remember using both the Pan-Stik, and Pan-Cake from MF when I was younger. Pan-Stik was thick and waxy, but moisturizing. Pan-Cake you had to use water to use it, and it covered EVERYTHING. Yes, it was obvious you were wearing makeup, but I think it benefited those in the theater and movies more. Yes, it was called color harmony! My grandmother had that same booklet!

Max Factor is in every cosmetic store in Europe

I still have a little bit of an old one that I've had for years. Even though it expired years ago, it still works brilliantly and I'm hoarding it. One of the best ever!

Max Factor's 2000 calorie mascara was my holy grail. i've been using it since high school. i was so upset when i couldnt get it anymore.

I think in the late 90s maxfactor was sold to a European cosmetic company which is why you can buy it Europe. Also, in parts of Asia they import M.F. cosmetics over there. Maxfactor was a great brand and had the best foundation and mascaras. In Arabia, they have maxfactor too but only in certain Arab countries. I think Joelle Mardinian is a huge spokesperson for them in Dubai

I live in the UK and the mascara of Max Factor is the best. Used them for years, and very easy to buy

I wore Max Factor in the 1980’s.

When ever I used Max Factor foundation when I was in between 19-21 yrs old, people thought I had naturally peaches and crème complexion. The brand was truly special, and I wish they would be available today.

I hope you feature Hazel Bishop sooner or later. Many remember Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein but her and her eponymous brand are basically forgotten today. She's someone to look up to if you are into STEM.

Thank you for this video! I still use a Max Factor product, Excess Volume mascara. Only available in the UK, I have to order and then wait for it to arrive. It is worth the wait.

Never realized there was a difference between "Brownette" and "Brunette". Looks like Brunette is a darker brown, while Brownette is more like a "Dirty Blonde".

My mom used to get the pan stick, I would use it when I got a pimple. That was the best cover up!

So Coty owns Max Factor, Covergirl, Bourjois and Rimmel. I am wondering if they pulled Max Factor out of the US and Canada because it is less competition for Covergirl. Rimmel has a much larger offering in Europe. I have always liked Bourjois and Rimmel better than Covergirl but Covergirl has come a long way. I noticed that Max Factor and Covergirl’s new releases seem similar.

Max Factor lip gloss in the gold tube is/was the best. It was healing as well for dry lips. Love their mascara and lipsticks, eyeshadows and perfume. They use to have a water based foundation that was really good, but it was discontinued. So I used Elizabeth Arden for sensitive skin it was excellent for oily skin.

As a classical dancer ….. their pan stick makeup was my first stage makeup and lasted for a long time ! I still perform at 56!yrs old . Nothing compares to it ! I miss it !also their mascara’s

I loved Max Factor. Especially their makeup brushes.

"Pan-stick" formulations are lovely; I've been using a pan-stick-type blush from Flower Beauty and I'm using a leftover pan-stick-type foundation from Clinique, which has discontinued it, though other makers have brought out similar items. They are easy to use and handy for the purse.

Yay 😀 I've been waiting for a video from you they are so informative and enjoyable thanks for all you do!

I used to use the lasting performance foundation after seeing it was used on kate winslet in titanic. My skin is very pale and i liked how her skin looked in the movie lol. It was actually the best i had used in the early 2000's - around 2010. I used the pale porcelain shade but now they've changed the shades here in Australia so i use it cosmetics cc cream now. Plus it's cruelty free.

Thank you for this film biography.

Hello - In around 1985-87 Max Factor make-up was to be found in supermarkets. This Helena Rubinstein would never have allowed. The range was subsequently limited to mainly foundations. The fragrances such as Hypnotique, Electrique, Primitif, Golden Woods, Green Apple, Rapport, Maxi, etc all faded from the scene but are sought after today, even by men, as the top-notes have faded while the middle and base notes are suitable for use. Thank you.

Max factor is sold in Sweden. I use creme puff daily and i have that ruby red lipstick. I wish they brought back the pan stick blush 😍

Great post on an iconic makeup producer and product. With all due respect, you left out that he was Lucille Ball's official makeup artist, and his name is seen in credits of her TV shows. Lucy, her look and her icon status were right up there with Marilyn. Happy holidays. 💖🎄

Max Factor died in 1939, so the "Max Factor" company was responsible for creating or providing the makeup for "I Love Lucy"..

Max Factor spells out glamour and sophistication to the woman who wears it. I believe Marilyn Monroe wore Max Factor and Revlon make up.

Does anyone wear that stuff any more?

I tired both Max factor and cover girl in the early 90s. I bought both at the grocery store (make up isle). Both brands were garbage. The makeup was barely pigmented and it just fell apart with in the hour. Trash.
