3. Most historians agree that makeup originated in the Middle East.
In fact, cosmetics were frequently mentioned in the Old Testament
and other historical documents from different cultures.
Origin of Makeup
The precise origin of makeup isn't entirely clear. However, history
stated that Egyptian men and women used makeup in ancient Egypt.
Lip ointments were popular and henna was used to colour their nails.
Men and women during this time wore eye shadow.
These types of cosmetics were made by combining black oxide,
carbon, and other substances, sometimes with toxic properties, to
give them a dark, almost gothic look.
4. Evolution of Makeup
Women from Chinese and Japanese, would stain their faces with
powder made from ground rice to make their complexions whiter.
Men and women from European aristocratic classes would plaster
chalk powder and white lead on their faces for a ghostly look.
Greek women would apply red iron and ochre clay on their lips.
5. Makeup During the Middle Ages
During the 1400s the women from England’s upper class were still
seeking a pasty white complexion
To achieve this look during the middle ages, they would apply egg
whites onto their faces.
Alcohol and perfume bases were also brought over to Europe by
the Crusaders.
6. Development of Makeup in Europe
Makeup in Europe took place in France and Italy two centuries
after the middle ages.
Their products were made from natural ingredients such as
flowers, fruits, roots, and tree bark.
During the 1800s, the French started to develop more advanced
methods for creating cosmetic products.
French also added life and vitality to the faces of women
everywhere as they introduced the color red into their face
makeup.
Tinted red cheeks and red full lips became a symbol of health and
beauty.
7. Modern Makeup
1900s was the era in which modern makeup was born.
Pale skin used to be associated with wealth and leisure, and bronze
skin was associated with the common workers, this all changed
thanks to makeup artist, Max Factor.
Makeup evolved to being more sensual and refined.
Modern technology and advanced formulas, cosmetics now come
in many forms, targeting all skin types regardless of race.
8. People Die from Alcohol Every Year
With 79,000 deaths a year as the answer to how many
people die from alcohol each year.
2.3 million years of potential life lost each year is also due
to excessive alcohol.
In 2005, there were 4.6 million hospitalizations and four
million emergency room visits because of various conditions
related to the consumption of alcohol.

Excessive drinking is considered to be binge drinking,
heavy drinking, or both.
Binge drinking for women is four or more drinks in one
occasion, and for men is five or more drinks.
Heavy drinking is more than one drink a day on the
average for women and two or more drinks a day on the
average for men.
10. Hard Core Drunk Drivers
These are people who have had more than one Driving
While Intoxicated (DWI) and resist changing their behavior.
44% of drivers involved in a fatal crash who had a prior
DWI had a blood alcohol content level of 0.15 or higher.

day for women and no more than 2 drinks a day for men.
People who should not drink include: pregnant women or
women trying to get pregnant, minors, people taking
certain medications, recovering alcoholics, anyone suffering
from a medical condition and anyone who is planning to

13. How Long Does Alcohol Stay in Your Body?
Your blood alcohol content level depends on a variety of different factors. For
example, your sex and your weight might affect your blood alcohol content level.
Even after you stop drinking, your blood alcohol level can continue to rise. This is
because the alcohol is still being absorbed into your bloodstream. However, there
are ways to control your blood alcohol levels and the rate at which your blood
alcohol level rises.
For example, you shouldn’t drink on an empty stomach
You should sip your drinks instead of gulping them.
If you have more than one or two alcoholic drinks in a night, you should alternate
water between them.

Approximately ten percent of the alcohol you consume leaves your body through
your breath, your urine, or your perspiration.
About ninety percent of the alcohol exits the body is the process known as
metabolism.

of alcohol at any age; however, we generally find that peer

it might just be the environment which the individual is in.

out of simple curiosity.
As An Escape: Some individuals see alcohol or any other mind
altering substances as an escape from their daily lives.
15. Manga
Japanese word for "comics" and consists of comics and print
cartoons.

as is the Japanese language.
Manga is written for every age group; but, most target older
teens and adults.

comics as ―Original English-language manga‖ (OEL manga). Still,
the original term "manga" is primarily used in English-speaking

Groups (or sentais) of girls working together have also been
popular within this genre.
Boys and young men became some of the earliest readers of
manga after World War II. Shōnen (male) manga focused on
topics thought to interest the typical boy, including subjects like
robots, space-travel, and heroic action-adventure.
The role of girls and women in manga produced for male readers
has evolved to include those featuring single pretty girls
(bishōjo)such as Oh My Goddess!, stories where such girls and
women surround the hero, as in Hanaukyo Maid Team, or groups
of heavily armed female warriors (sentō bishōjo).
The gekiga style of drawing—emotionally dark, often starkly
realistic, sometimes very violent—focuses on the grim realities of
life, often drawn in gritty and unpretty fashions.[

only to suffer defeat.
By the 1930s animation became an alternative format of storytelling
to the live-action (real actors) industry in Japan.

work of Hayao Miyazaki and Toshiro Kawamoto are known for having
realistically proportioned eyes, as well as realistic hair colors on their
