Dell Venue 7 and My Karva Chauth Henna & Nail Art

Yesterday was Karva Chauth, a festival celebrated by Indian women to pray for the longevity of their husband. They wake up early morning, pray to God and start a 'Nirjal' fast for the whole day - no food and most importantly no water for the whole day. They open their fast after looking at the moon through a sieve. The whole day is spent adorning hands and feet with henna, dressing up and keeping one self busy so that the thirsty dry throat becomes a non-issue.

I was supposed to do a Karva Chauth special nail art yesterday. But I was superly busy applying henna to my hands and was pretty low on energy and hence skipped doing something too intricate for my nails.

But what I did do was use my Dell Venue 7 tablet to click pictures. I know I have raved and ranted about the fact that I don't like the camera on the tablet. But since I was up early it meant I had all the sunlight I wanted to use the camera of the tablet. So I used it for clicking my henna and my final nails. I also edited the pictures on the tablet.

First let me show you my henna (if you follow me on instagram and facebook you must have already seen these)

How To Get the Beauty Look: Celebrity Natural Look Using Budget Products

Getting the perfect natural looking skin is not easy. Celebs do it perfectly because they have an experienced team of professionals taking care of their makeup. But here are the basic steps that you can do using budget products to achieve the perfect natural look.

Get the Beauty Look: Nude Lips by shilpagandotra

Step 1. You need to have a perfect canvas for a natural look. So start off with a face primer. If you have blemishes chose a primer that is a color corrector like the one from NYX. This will prime your skin and also conceal the blemishes/large pores in one go.

Step 2. Use an eye primer and apply it all over the lids. This will give you a crease-less application of eye shadow and also help the eye shadow last longer. You can use the MUA eye primer or the one from Victoria's Secret.
