What do you think this sweet contraption was used for?

Invented by none other than Hollywood beauty emperor Max Factor, the "Beauty Micrometer" was an essential tool for Hollywood makeup artists of the 1930s. Boasting 325 adjustable settings, the metal helmet was attached to the woman's head with its metal bolts precisely screwed onto her individual facial features - to "reveal the defects". Corrective makeup was then applied to the "flaws. . . which become glaring distortions when thrown upon the screen."
