Some celebrities will hire a specific makeup artists for all of their shoots. I'm talking about huge stars like Tom Cruise or Kurt Russell. In fact, Kurt Russell has been with the same makeup artist for decades. In Guardians of the Galaxy 2 there are de-aging effects on him, most of which were accomplished with the help of practical makeup from his personal makeup artist. Let's not pretend like that makeup artist isn't make big bucks.
One unfortunate aspect of this job is how you break in. You can either take classes to get a certification, which you may have to do if you're working with effects opposed to just simple makeup, but that certification may not guarantee jobs. Most people have to work for free to start their career and get credits. That also means using your own makeup for free.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
