Step 1: Prep your hair with blown away volumising leave-in spray at the root area. This will add volume to your hair that will last all night long. Shake bottle well, spray at the root area on damp hair for best results.

Step 2: Blow-dry your hair by throwing your head upside down and power drying the root area, in the opposite direction from where the hair will eventually sit. This adds lasting volume.

Step 3: Finish off by spraying the hair polish or use back to life dry shampoo to add texture (shake, spray and rub it in) and you’re good to go. Always keep finishing sprays around six inches away from the hair for best results.

Step 1: If the hair is thick and rebellious, work with a blow dry lotion. If the hair is fine, use volumising products.

Step 2: Power dry the hair. Freestyle using the nozzle of the hairdryer to direct the hair where you want it to go.

Step 3: For added texture and separation you could use a dry shampoo or a texturising wax paste on thicker texture hair. For those who like to party all night, a fine mist of a reliable hair spray is strongly advised to help keep things in place.

Elton J. Fernandez, official make-up artist at Maybelline York, has also decoded some summer special looks.

* Look 1: As seen in spring summer 2018 shows like Missoni and Topshop, the ‘play’ factor within make-up was taken to the next level with bold hues around the eyes.

Here’s how you can create one for yourself :

Blend foundation where needed to even out your skin tone and smoothen the skin. Swipe a generous coat of mascara. Use an eye-liner and a tint for bold, unconventional hues and colours around the eyes to amp up the ‘play’ factor in your make-up. Create stencil liners if you want symmetry to be a big feature.

* Look 2: Stark liner paired with lashes

2018 is all about participating in the make-up and really taking time to enjoy the physical application.

Follow some simple steps to create a similar bold look for your eyes:

Use a concealer to brighten up and lift the inner corners of face, contour where needed. Stroke a bold line of kajal or aan eye-liner, starkly applied all around the eyes for a strong but defined exotic eye.

Use a generous playful dash of mascara, almost pinched together to create several V Shapes within the lashes.

* Look 3: Balmy, lush face

2018 celebrates loved up spa skin.

Here is your chance to rock this summer with a fresh, lush look with these simple steps:

Smoothen skin with foundation and use a concealer where necessary to erase any discolouration or redness. Contour to bring back shadow to your face especially around the cheekbones.

Blend blusher into your make-up and tint your cheeks. Cream highlights in a couple layers on all high points of face, including centre of lids, inner corners of eyes, above browbones and across cheekbones, end with some above your lips.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones

CasinoDays India

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
