It was Mr. Max Factor who transformed Norma Jeane into Marilyn Monroe with an iconic beauty look that captured the hearts of the world. Today, Max Factor celebrates this fantastic story with the announcement of Marilyn Monroe as Global glamour ambassador.
2015 marks 80 years since Mr. Max Factor Junior opened the doors of his Hollywood make-up studio, transforming the looks of Hollywood’s elite. His most iconic client of all? Norma Jeane. Norma Jeane entered his Blonde Room in the late 1940s as a brunette, and thanks to Mr. Max Factor, emerged complete with platinum blonde hair – a beauty look fit for Marilyn Monroe. Subsequently, Max Factor make-up was used to create the iconic Marilyn Monroe look.
I have always loved Marilyn and her iconic look will forever be a favourite. I never knew that Mr Max Factor was the artist behind this classic look and I think it is quite fitting that Ms Monroe be the face of Max Factor. Marilyn simply embodied glamour.
In celebration of this announcement, Max Factor launched the international #GlamJan campaign where beauty influencers, media, celebrities and consumers get the chance to show their more glamorous side by uploading their most gorgeous transformation selfies. You can even win amazing prizes.
Head over to Max Factor’s Twitter, Instagram or Facebook page and show the world just how glam you can be!
