Am pretty sure I saw this contraption in one of the Saw movies.

The Beauty Calibrator, aka the Beauty Micrometer, created by beautician Max Factor in the early 1930s. Designed as a tool for Hollywood makeup artists, the micrometer would provide precise measurements of facial characteristics and identify any ‘flaws’. Were any flaws detected, they would be corrected with makeup.
