This articel is to introuce our team’s idol, Maximilian Faktorovich, who promote the development of false eyelashes. Because of him, we love cosmetic industry and choose false eyelashes industry.

In 1872, Maximilian Faktorovich was born in Poland. When he was very young, he studied as an apprentice with a make-up artist. When he grew up, Fakrotovic served in the Russian army like many of his peers. After he retired, he opened a cosmetics store near Moscow. Soon he became the official makeup artist of the Royal Russian Opera, and even the royal family members Ask makeup tips. Although Faktorovich was quite successful in his career, as a Jew, he was uneasy about the growing anti-Semitism in Russia at the time.

In 1904 he finally immigrated to the United States with his wife and three children. When the Faktorovichs waited for entry in Ellis Island, New York, customs officials made their own claims to shorten their surnames to “Fuckert” for convenience. The Fuckert family first settled in St. Louis and later moved to Los Angeles because he saw the wigs and cosmetics business opportunities in the emerging movie industry and was determined to make a big impact.
