Modern day makeup was developed by Max Factor for screen actors. In the 1920s and 1930s, the "golden years" of Hollywood, Max Factor became intimately associated with the world of movie make-up. He created the lip gloss for the movies in 1914, and coined the term "makeup", based on the verb, "to make up" (one's face). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Factor [Added reference - McG] Dec 13 04, 3:01 AM
