Tall 8vo. 11, [1] pp. Text illustrations & photos throughout, diagrams, tables. Self-printed colour-illustrated softcovers (slight shelfwear, very slight creasing to couple corners), still VG. Later edition of this uncommon installment in the make-up course designed by the visionary make-up artist, wig maker, and inventor. Factor (1872-1938) was the former official cosmetics expert for the Russian Royal Family and the Imperial Russian Grand Opera, who emigrated in 1904, eventually settling in Los Angeles where he created the signature looks of Ava Gardner, Jean Harlow, and Marlene Dietrich. He went onto found a cosmetics empire on the philosophy that any woman could be glamorous given the right tools and make-up artistry skills, developing such products for women as the tru-colour lipstick, lip gloss, and the concept of colour harmony for make-up. These booklets were intended for use with the wide range of screen and stage make-ups the Max Factor Co. offered for sale out of their Los Angeles-based warehouses, including grease paint foundations, pan-cake make-ups, face powders, rouges, lipsticks, eyebrow pencils, tooth enamel, hair dyes, and much more.…
