We’re taught to believe old Hollywood stars were “naturally glamorous.”

In reality, film glamour was carefully designed, not only to make audiences feel like glamour was accessible, but to work on early film stock, under harsh lights, and in close-up. Max Factor and the Westmore family developed beauty systems still utilized today.

The illusion lasted because it worked.

Do you think this system elevated beauty into art? Or did it set an impossible standard that still lingers today?
