Maxine, a vendor of cosmetics in life, is one of many entities to find relief in undeath - she was overjoyed to discover that ectoplasm doesn't wrinkle.
Maxine Factor is an apparition. In life, she was a door-to-door cosmetics salesperson. After being invited inside by the insane old lady who used to live in the Hutz's house, she was served tea with arsenic and her body and possessions were dumped in a room in the attic, which the lady then boarded up. Her spirit now resides in her make-up kit, waiting for a woman to show genuine interest in her products.
Maxine Factor can be freed in either The Calamityville Horror or Poultrygeist. To free her, a woman must take an interest in her make-up kit and try some of it on. This can be done by waiting until a female mortal is near the room and using Maxine's Intrigue power.

Trivia[]
- Her name is a reference to the beautician and founder of the Max Factor Company, Max Factor.
- The character itself is a direct reference to the 1980s TV show thirtysomething. "There is a scene in the show between Melanie Mayron's Melissa and Poly Draper's Ellyn that takes place in a department store. They get ambushed by a pushy make-up sales woman who persuades them to have a makeover. They do, and it looks dreadful. They give each other a knowing look and then flee. The sales pitch they are given in that episode is nearly word for word the same as the one Maxine gives in Ghost Master."
