* For face
* Before the application of make-up, always prepare your skin with a skin care regime (cleansing – toning – moisturising – hydrating) according to your skin type
* Use a matte primer to make a perfect base for your make-up.
* Conceal the imperfections with a matte concealer
* Dab foundation (matte or cushion) with make-up brush or a sponge. Wait till it settles.
* Take the two shades of compact – one lighter and darker to get the perfect sculpted look.
* For cheek:
* Contour with blusher on hollow of the cheek.
* To make your contour more intense use bronzing powder on it.
* To make your look more natural, apply cheek colour petal.
* To create the perfect gradation, highlight the cheek bone with illuminator.
* With the help of fan brush, gently apply highlighter on the temples of your face.
* For eye:
* For longer stay and to enhance the vibrancy of eye shadow use matte eye base prior to the eye shadow.
* Conceal the under eyes and lid well with appropriate colour of matte concealer.
* Adjust the shade and use on eye lid and blend with blender brush.
* Apply gold shade in the inner corner of the eye; contour the eye corner with the eye shadow.
* On water line apply matte kajal white and on lower lash line apply eye shadow and blend the shadow slightly.
* Use highlighter (lighter shade) for brow bone highlighting
* Finish the eyes by using a lash mascara (3 steps n 3 coat application for full volume and length)
* Groom brows with brow definer for intense application and apply transparent mascara to fix it.
* For lips:
* Before the application of the lipstick, remove the dead skin using lip balm for smooth effect.
* Prepare your lip with the lip primer.
* Apply lip definer all over the lip, apply matte liquid lipstick to finish the desired look.
Aashmeen Munjaal, Hair and Make-up Expert at Star Salon, shares tips:
* For eyes: Eyes can be kept minimal with just a stroke of kajal and matte finish eyeliner or can be decked up with a shimmery smokey eye look that makes your look more glamorous. You can also go for ombre eye makeup to make your look more soaked in festivity.
* For face: Do not use heavy make-up. Try to keep it minimal, simple, and natural waterproof is something you should go for according to your skin type. Use primer before applying the foundation to keep your skin hyderated.
* For hair: Hairstyles as in trend are preferred to be simple with curls, wavy and tongs but during humid weather they will become sticky and lose their composition. Go for braided hairstyles, side buns and low, messy buns, Victorian braids, either fully tucked or semi tucked as per your face cut in that case.
* For lips: If you are wearing monotone coloured outfits, then opt for matte deep red which goes with all skin types. With vibrant coloured clothes go for glossy nude shades.
The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
