He sold his rouges and creams, operating under the newly re-spelled name Max Factor. Factor saw an opportunity to provide make-up and wigs to the growing film industry. He moved his family to Los Angeles, California, in 1908. In 1914, Factor created a make-up specifically for movie actors that, unlike theatrical make-up, would not crack or cake.
