Vanity Staple: Using a 1940s Max Factor Face Powder Brush

Written By Josephine Sere

Reader, I am authentic to my craft.

I prize historical accuracy, retrofitting Make Up cosmetic historically shown on alabaster faces unto my rich, deep ochre skin, applying Golden Age to Old Hollywood era lip cosmetic and only using pre-1960s parfum extraits and dabbers.

I added an unused, boxed 1940s Max Factor Face Powder Brush in Art Deco style to my makeup regimen, and, utilized it in under a day of acquiring.

I put my shedding dense, fluffy modern makeup powder brush out of its misery and excessively powdered to my heart’s content because my natural goat hair bristle brush removes ALL excess down to the remaining powder layer that set my liquid concealer.

As a result, I have a blurred canvas that does not defy nature artificially, and allows my chosen liquid foundation to meld to my individual beauty, after using loose powders, pressed powders, cream foundations to create a fine layer that’s covered with my MUFE Matte Velvet Skin powder foundation.

My Max Factor Face Powder Brush takes no prisoners.

I applied my final illusion-creating Miss A light lavender face powder as usual, and I see that the powder will have to go below my powder foundation, since that is all that’s left!!
