Kate and William bring home royal baby boy
London (CNN) -- They looked like "a normal couple" as they left the hospital, one bystander said.
Of course, most normal couples don't have a crowd of reporters, photographers and random well-wishers waiting for them to show off their new baby.
Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, emerged from St. Mary's Hospital in London on Tuesday evening to give the public its first view of the new heir to the British throne, joking that the still-unnamed boy had more hair than his father. Catherine and William took turns holding the child, wrapped in a cream-colored blanket, as they waved to well-wishers outside.
The couple is "still working on a name," William said, "so we'll have that as soon as we can." But he added, "He's got her looks, thankfully."
The prince has already changed his first diaper, the couple told reporters.
"It's very emotional. It's such a special time," Catherine said.
The couple left the hospital Tuesday evening, with William carrying the boy out in a car seat and installing him in the back of a black SUV. Then he got behind the wheel for the trip to their residence at Kensington Palace.
On their way out, they walked out down the same steps where Diana, Princess of Wales, and Prince Charles gave the world its first look at Prince William 31 years ago.
"It was so exciting. It was fantastic," said Eliza Wells, one of those gathered outside the hospital. "The crowd erupted, because everyone's been waiting so long for it."
William and Catherine "both seemed very relaxed, even with the press there and the crowd," Wells said. "They just seemed like a normal couple."
Shortly before the departure, Charles stopped by for a brief visit with his first grandchild, accompanied by his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. He told reporters it was "marvelous."
And Catherine's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, visited earlier, with Carole Middleton telling reporters the royal baby is "absolutely beautiful."
She said both mother and baby are doing "really well" and that she and her husband were "so thrilled" at being grandparents.
Royal baby: What's next?
Bells, gun salutes
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy was born Monday afternoon. He's third in line, behind Charles and William, for the British throne now held by his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Tuesday, London echoed with the sound of cannonades and music to mark the birth.
Guardsmen at Buckingham Palace, the queen's residence, played the Cliff Richard song "Congratulations" at the Changing of the Guard. The military ceremony, much beloved by tourists, involves a new guard exchanging duty with the old guard in the palace forecourt.
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Green Park fired 41 shots in tribute to the boy, while the Honorable Artillery Company at the Tower of London fired 62 rounds.

At the same time the bells of Westminster Abbey, where William and Catherine were married in April 2011, began to peal, in keeping with royal tradition, and were set to continue for more than three hours.
The news of the boy's birth, announced about four hours after the event Monday, prompted cheers and celebration among the crowds of well-wishers outside Buckingham Palace. At least one group of well-wishers brought flowers, champagne and a card for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Social media networks were also abuzz with the news, which made headlines around the world.
'We could not be happier'
The new parents spent some time with their baby before calling family members -- starting with the queen -- to announce the birth, a Kensington Palace source told CNN royal correspondent Max Foster.
"We could not be happier," said Prince William, according to the Kensington Palace source.
Prince William remained at Catherine's side throughout the labor, and the baby was born naturally. An official bulletin was placed on a gilded easel outside Buckingham Palace.

The celebrations for the arrival of the new prince -- whose title will be His Royal Highness Prince (the baby's name) of Cambridge -- were hard to miss in the capital.
The fountains at Trafalgar Square were dyed blue; the BT Tower, a London landmark, flashed the words "It's a boy;" and the London Eye was illuminated in patriotic red, white and blue.
Farther afield, Canada -- where the British monarch is head of state -- turned its side of the Niagara Falls blue to mark the birth, and the CN Tower in Toronto was lit up the same color.
Betting on a name
It was a long wait for the media camped outside St. Mary's Hospital, but when the news of the birth finally came, the excitement of the moment was huge.
The Sun newspaper, Britain's best-selling tabloid daily, changed its masthead Tuesday to "The Son" to mark the occasion, above a picture of the official birth announcement, while the Daily Express and Telegraph emblazoned "It's a boy" across their front pages.
Recognizing that excitement over the prince's arrival is not universal, the Guardian newspaper's website lets users switch to a royal baby-free version of the home page. The front page of UK satirical magazine Private Eye simply says: "Woman has baby."
Queen Ella? King Terry? What's in a royal name?
Many bets are being placed as the wait continues for the baby's name to be announced. British bookmakers Ladbrokes have James as favorite, followed by Henry and George, Philip, Alexander and Richard.
William's name was announced a few days after birth; his brother Harry's on departure from hospital.
Some British parents have delayed naming their newborns in recent days in hopes of either copying or avoiding the royal name, he said.
Royal joy
The official British Monarchy Twitter feed said: "The Queen and Prince Philip are delighted at the news of the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby."
Charles Spencer, brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, welcomed the birth of the baby. "We're all so pleased: it's wonderful news," he said in a statement.
"My father always told us how Diana was born on just such a blisteringly hot day, at Sandringham, in July 1961. It's another very happy summer's day, half a century on."

British Prime Minister David Cameron said, "It is an important moment in the life of our nation, but I suppose above all, it's a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who got a brand new baby boy."
Tributes around the world
The British monarch is also head of state in 15 Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Belize and Jamaica.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered his country's congratulations on the birth of a future king.
"The arrival of the newest member of the Royal Family, a future Sovereign of Canada, is a highly anticipated moment for Canadians given the special and warm relationship that we share with our Royal Family," he said in a statement.

Barack and Michelle Obama also gave their best wishes.
"The child enters the world at a time of promise and opportunity for our two nations," the U.S. president and first lady said in a statement. "Given the special relationship between us, the American people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince."
Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also sent their congratulations.
On Twitter, topics related to the royal baby jumped to the top of the trending list in the United Kingdom on Monday morning. Worldwide, hashtags such as #RoyalBabyBoy and #Will & Kate were trending later Monday.
In a nod to modern times, Clarence House called for people to send news and images of any other new arrivals using the hashtag #WelcometotheWorld.

The Sun newspaper, Britain's best-selling tabloid daily, changed its masthead Tuesday to "The Son" to mark the occasion, above a picture of the official birth announcement, while the Daily Express and Telegraph emblazoned "It's a boy" across their front pages.
Recognizing that excitement over the prince's arrival is not universal, the Guardian newspaper's website lets users switch to a royal baby-free version of the home page. The front page of UK satirical magazine Private Eye simply says: "Woman has baby."
Queen Ella? King Terry? What's in a royal name?
Many bets are being placed as the wait continues for the baby's name to be announced. British bookmakers Ladbrokes have James as favorite, followed by Henry and George, Philip, Alexander and Richard.
William's name was announced a few days after birth; his brother Harry's on departure from hospital.
Some British parents have delayed naming their newborns in recent days in hopes of either copying or avoiding the royal name, he said.
Royal joy
The official British Monarchy Twitter feed said: "The Queen and Prince Philip are delighted at the news of the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby."
Charles Spencer, brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, welcomed the birth of the baby. "We're all so pleased: it's wonderful news," he said in a statement.
"My father always told us how Diana was born on just such a blisteringly hot day, at Sandringham, in July 1961. It's another very happy summer's day, half a century on."

British Prime Minister David Cameron said, "It is an important moment in the life of our nation, but I suppose above all, it's a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who got a brand new baby boy."
Tributes around the world
The British monarch is also head of state in 15 Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Belize and Jamaica.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered his country's congratulations on the birth of a future king.
"The arrival of the newest member of the Royal Family, a future Sovereign of Canada, is a highly anticipated moment for Canadians given the special and warm relationship that we share with our Royal Family," he said in a statement.

Barack and Michelle Obama also gave their best wishes.
"The child enters the world at a time of promise and opportunity for our two nations," the U.S. president and first lady said in a statement. "Given the special relationship between us, the American people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince."
Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also sent their congratulations.
On Twitter, topics related to the royal baby jumped to the top of the trending list in the United Kingdom on Monday morning. Worldwide, hashtags such as #RoyalBabyBoy and #Will & Kate were trending later Monday.
In a nod to modern times, Clarence House called for people to send news and images of any other new arrivals using the hashtag #WelcometotheWorld.
Of course, most normal couples don't have a crowd of reporters, photographers and random well-wishers waiting for them to show off their new baby.
Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, emerged from St. Mary's Hospital in London on Tuesday evening to give the public its first view of the new heir to the British throne, joking that the still-unnamed boy had more hair than his father. Catherine and William took turns holding the child, wrapped in a cream-colored blanket, as they waved to well-wishers outside.
The couple is "still working on a name," William said, "so we'll have that as soon as we can." But he added, "He's got her looks, thankfully."
The prince has already changed his first diaper, the couple told reporters.
"It's very emotional. It's such a special time," Catherine said.
The couple left the hospital Tuesday evening, with William carrying the boy out in a car seat and installing him in the back of a black SUV. Then he got behind the wheel for the trip to their residence at Kensington Palace.
On their way out, they walked out down the same steps where Diana, Princess of Wales, and Prince Charles gave the world its first look at Prince William 31 years ago.
"It was so exciting. It was fantastic," said Eliza Wells, one of those gathered outside the hospital. "The crowd erupted, because everyone's been waiting so long for it."
William and Catherine "both seemed very relaxed, even with the press there and the crowd," Wells said. "They just seemed like a normal couple."
Shortly before the departure, Charles stopped by for a brief visit with his first grandchild, accompanied by his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. He told reporters it was "marvelous."
And Catherine's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, visited earlier, with Carole Middleton telling reporters the royal baby is "absolutely beautiful."
She said both mother and baby are doing "really well" and that she and her husband were "so thrilled" at being grandparents.
Royal baby: What's next?
Bells, gun salutes
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy was born Monday afternoon. He's third in line, behind Charles and William, for the British throne now held by his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Tuesday, London echoed with the sound of cannonades and music to mark the birth.
Guardsmen at Buckingham Palace, the queen's residence, played the Cliff Richard song "Congratulations" at the Changing of the Guard. The military ceremony, much beloved by tourists, involves a new guard exchanging duty with the old guard in the palace forecourt.
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Green Park fired 41 shots in tribute to the boy, while the Honorable Artillery Company at the Tower of London fired 62 rounds.

At the same time the bells of Westminster Abbey, where William and Catherine were married in April 2011, began to peal, in keeping with royal tradition, and were set to continue for more than three hours.
The news of the boy's birth, announced about four hours after the event Monday, prompted cheers and celebration among the crowds of well-wishers outside Buckingham Palace. At least one group of well-wishers brought flowers, champagne and a card for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Social media networks were also abuzz with the news, which made headlines around the world.
'We could not be happier'
The new parents spent some time with their baby before calling family members -- starting with the queen -- to announce the birth, a Kensington Palace source told CNN royal correspondent Max Foster.
"We could not be happier," said Prince William, according to the Kensington Palace source.
Prince William remained at Catherine's side throughout the labor, and the baby was born naturally. An official bulletin was placed on a gilded easel outside Buckingham Palace.

The celebrations for the arrival of the new prince -- whose title will be His Royal Highness Prince (the baby's name) of Cambridge -- were hard to miss in the capital.
The fountains at Trafalgar Square were dyed blue; the BT Tower, a London landmark, flashed the words "It's a boy;" and the London Eye was illuminated in patriotic red, white and blue.
Farther afield, Canada -- where the British monarch is head of state -- turned its side of the Niagara Falls blue to mark the birth, and the CN Tower in Toronto was lit up the same color.

Shortly before the departure, Charles stopped by for a brief visit with his first grandchild, accompanied by his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. He told reporters it was "marvelous."
And Catherine's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, visited earlier, with Carole Middleton telling reporters the royal baby is "absolutely beautiful."
She said both mother and baby are doing "really well" and that she and her husband were "so thrilled" at being grandparents.
Royal baby: What's next?
Bells, gun salutes
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy was born Monday afternoon. He's third in line, behind Charles and William, for the British throne now held by his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Tuesday, London echoed with the sound of cannonades and music to mark the birth.
Guardsmen at Buckingham Palace, the queen's residence, played the Cliff Richard song "Congratulations" at the Changing of the Guard. The military ceremony, much beloved by tourists, involves a new guard exchanging duty with the old guard in the palace forecourt.
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Green Park fired 41 shots in tribute to the boy, while the Honorable Artillery Company at the Tower of London fired 62 rounds.

At the same time the bells of Westminster Abbey, where William and Catherine were married in April 2011, began to peal, in keeping with royal tradition, and were set to continue for more than three hours.
The news of the boy's birth, announced about four hours after the event Monday, prompted cheers and celebration among the crowds of well-wishers outside Buckingham Palace. At least one group of well-wishers brought flowers, champagne and a card for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Social media networks were also abuzz with the news, which made headlines around the world.
'We could not be happier'
The new parents spent some time with their baby before calling family members -- starting with the queen -- to announce the birth, a Kensington Palace source told CNN royal correspondent Max Foster.
"We could not be happier," said Prince William, according to the Kensington Palace source.
Prince William remained at Catherine's side throughout the labor, and the baby was born naturally. An official bulletin was placed on a gilded easel outside Buckingham Palace.

The celebrations for the arrival of the new prince -- whose title will be His Royal Highness Prince (the baby's name) of Cambridge -- were hard to miss in the capital.
The fountains at Trafalgar Square were dyed blue; the BT Tower, a London landmark, flashed the words "It's a boy;" and the London Eye was illuminated in patriotic red, white and blue.
Farther afield, Canada -- where the British monarch is head of state -- turned its side of the Niagara Falls blue to mark the birth, and the CN Tower in Toronto was lit up the same color.
Betting on a name
It was a long wait for the media camped outside St. Mary's Hospital, but when the news of the birth finally came, the excitement of the moment was huge.
The Sun newspaper, Britain's best-selling tabloid daily, changed its masthead Tuesday to "The Son" to mark the occasion, above a picture of the official birth announcement, while the Daily Express and Telegraph emblazoned "It's a boy" across their front pages.
Recognizing that excitement over the prince's arrival is not universal, the Guardian newspaper's website lets users switch to a royal baby-free version of the home page. The front page of UK satirical magazine Private Eye simply says: "Woman has baby."
Queen Ella? King Terry? What's in a royal name?
Many bets are being placed as the wait continues for the baby's name to be announced. British bookmakers Ladbrokes have James as favorite, followed by Henry and George, Philip, Alexander and Richard.
William's name was announced a few days after birth; his brother Harry's on departure from hospital.
Some British parents have delayed naming their newborns in recent days in hopes of either copying or avoiding the royal name, he said.
Royal joy
The official British Monarchy Twitter feed said: "The Queen and Prince Philip are delighted at the news of the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby."
Charles Spencer, brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, welcomed the birth of the baby. "We're all so pleased: it's wonderful news," he said in a statement.
"My father always told us how Diana was born on just such a blisteringly hot day, at Sandringham, in July 1961. It's another very happy summer's day, half a century on."

British Prime Minister David Cameron said, "It is an important moment in the life of our nation, but I suppose above all, it's a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who got a brand new baby boy."
Tributes around the world
The British monarch is also head of state in 15 Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Belize and Jamaica.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered his country's congratulations on the birth of a future king.
"The arrival of the newest member of the Royal Family, a future Sovereign of Canada, is a highly anticipated moment for Canadians given the special and warm relationship that we share with our Royal Family," he said in a statement.

Barack and Michelle Obama also gave their best wishes.
"The child enters the world at a time of promise and opportunity for our two nations," the U.S. president and first lady said in a statement. "Given the special relationship between us, the American people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince."
Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also sent their congratulations.
On Twitter, topics related to the royal baby jumped to the top of the trending list in the United Kingdom on Monday morning. Worldwide, hashtags such as #RoyalBabyBoy and #Will & Kate were trending later Monday.
In a nod to modern times, Clarence House called for people to send news and images of any other new arrivals using the hashtag #WelcometotheWorld.
Kate and William bring home royal baby boy
London (CNN) -- They looked like "a normal couple" as they left the hospital, one bystander said.
Of course, most normal couples don't have a crowd of reporters, photographers and random well-wishers waiting for them to show off their new baby.
Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, emerged from St. Mary's Hospital in London on Tuesday evening to give the public its first view of the new heir to the British throne, joking that the still-unnamed boy had more hair than his father. Catherine and William took turns holding the child, wrapped in a cream-colored blanket, as they waved to well-wishers outside.
The couple is "still working on a name," William said, "so we'll have that as soon as we can." But he added, "He's got her looks, thankfully."
The prince has already changed his first diaper, the couple told reporters.
"It's very emotional. It's such a special time," Catherine said.
The couple left the hospital Tuesday evening, with William carrying the boy out in a car seat and installing him in the back of a black SUV. Then he got behind the wheel for the trip to their residence at Kensington Palace.
On their way out, they walked out down the same steps where Diana, Princess of Wales, and Prince Charles gave the world its first look at Prince William 31 years ago.
"It was so exciting. It was fantastic," said Eliza Wells, one of those gathered outside the hospital. "The crowd erupted, because everyone's been waiting so long for it."
William and Catherine "both seemed very relaxed, even with the press there and the crowd," Wells said. "They just seemed like a normal couple."

Royal baby name: What will William and Kate call their son?
What we don't yet know is his name. And until Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, announce a moniker for their little one, all we can do is wait -- and make some guesses.
Bookmakers have placed odds on a few name contenders, and the all-around favorite seems to be George. Paddy Power lists the odds on that name at 7/4, as of Tuesday morning, while Ladbrokes has it at 2/1.
Other favorites, for those playing the name game, are James, Alexander, Arthur, Louis, Henry (the birth name of William's brother, Prince Harry), Richard and Phillip.
Some other names seem less likely -- Joffrey (as in the "Game of Thrones" character) is listed on Paddy Power with odds of 500/1. Same goes for Elvis, Tyler and Rumpelstiltskin.
If William and Kate stick to tradition, it's likely they'll give their baby boy more than one name - William's full name is William Arthur Phillip Louis, while his brother Harry is Henry Charles Albert David. Their father, the Prince of Wales, is Charles Phillip Arthur George, and Queen Elizabeth II was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
Whatever they choose to call him, the baby's official title will be His Royal Highness Prince (name) of Cambridge.
What do you think William and Kate will name their son? Vote in our poll, or share suggestions in the comments.

Muslim Bridal Makeup – Step Wise Tutorial With Images
Ask a person to list some of the most memorable events in
their lives and their wedding is sure to figure among the top three. It
is undoubtedly one of the most important days in a person’s life. More
so for the bride as she is bound to be the cynosure of all eyes.
Unquestionably a girl would like to look her best on the D-day. Unfortunately with the new breed of inexperienced and low grade makeup artists cropping up in the local saloons, the probability of a bride not getting the right look is very high. Imagine if you could do your own makeup. Would that not be great? Surely, nobody knows what suits your skin the best or what look you would be the most comfortable with, better than you do!
An Islamic wedding is rather less hectic when compared to a traditional Hindu wedding as there are only a few rituals and the bride has the freedom to dress up the way she likes. Here is an easy guide for a muslim bridal makeup.
Indian Muslim Bridal Makeup
This particular look has been designed for the eyes to be the central attraction so the makeup highlights the eyes with a bright shade of blue.
For this particular look, a bright blue eye pencil has been used on the eyelids as a base. You may apply the eye shadow directly but having a creamy base makes it stay much longer. After the pencil apply the eye shadow on the inner two thirds of the eye lid. While applying always use a good quality brush/applicator and tap off the excess so that there is minimum fallout.
Take a black eye shadow and apply it over the outer part of the eyes. You can choose between glittery black or matte black. The one used for this look is matte black.Y ou may also use a kajal pencil to create smokey eyes.
Take a bit of the black eye shadow onto a small brush and apply it on the crease and blend it in towards the inner corner. Blend again using the fluffy brush to remove any harsh lines.
Apply a highlighter shade just under the brow bone and a bit on the inner corner of the eyes. Here a pale golden eye shadow has been used on the brow bone and a white highlighting shade for the inner corner.
Clean the fall outs from the eye makeup and prepare for blush. Cream blushes give a dewy finish when compared to the powder ones. Take a bit of the blush on the tip of your fingers or on your brush. Start from the apples of your cheek and work towards the temple. Keep a light hand and build up the colour as per your requirement.
The eye colour can be changed to any colour of your choice- blue, pink, maroon or even red. Just be mindful to check the lip shade accordingly as with a pink makeup it would be better to use nude or coral lips.
So the next time you want to put on some crazy muslim bride makeup and paint the town red, do not hesitate to pick up your brushes/liners and boldly experiment with colours and strokes. Follow the above mentioned guidelines and you would realize that looking like a million bucks does come easy after all!

This particular look has been designed for the eyes to be the central attraction so the makeup highlights the eyes with a bright shade of blue.
Step 1:
Clean your face with a good cleanser. Use a heavy duty makeup remover to remove any traces of existing makeup and then follow it up with a toner and a moisturizer. Use products which you would normally use and do not experiment with new products on this day.Step 2:
Conceal any spots, blemishes or dark circles that you might have with a concealer. If you want the makeup to last really long, use a face primer before applying your foundation.Step 3:
Apply a good foundation. The one used in this look is ‘Lotus Purestay Foundation’. It has been applied with a foundation brush. You can use your hand or a makeup sponge instead. Blend in completely and look out for streaks and uneven application. The foundation should be light and preferably without SPF as it tends to oxidize less and does not make you look white with flash photography. Do not forget to apply some on the neck too as it looks quite unpleasant if you have different coloured face and neck.Step 4:
Apply a primer on the eyelids or use a good concealer to create a smooth base for the eye makeup. Pat a bit of translucent or compact on the eyes before beginning the makeup.Step 5:
For this particular look, a bright blue eye pencil has been used on the eyelids as a base. You may apply the eye shadow directly but having a creamy base makes it stay much longer. After the pencil apply the eye shadow on the inner two thirds of the eye lid. While applying always use a good quality brush/applicator and tap off the excess so that there is minimum fallout.
Step 6:
Take a black eye shadow and apply it over the outer part of the eyes. You can choose between glittery black or matte black. The one used for this look is matte black.Y ou may also use a kajal pencil to create smokey eyes.
Step 7:
Take a fluffy blending brush and use a sweeping motion from the black eye shadow onto the blue one. This will blend the two shadows together and create a smokey effect. If you feel the shadow has become less intense add a bit more and blend again.
Take a bit of the black eye shadow onto a small brush and apply it on the crease and blend it in towards the inner corner. Blend again using the fluffy brush to remove any harsh lines.
Step 8:
Line the lower lash line with the blue eye shadow. Now line the eyes with a black liner just to define the shape. Make it as thin as possible. You can also use a thin line of kohl on the lower lash line.
Apply a highlighter shade just under the brow bone and a bit on the inner corner of the eyes. Here a pale golden eye shadow has been used on the brow bone and a white highlighting shade for the inner corner.
Step 9:
Finish off with loads of Mascara. You may also curl your lashes.Step 10:
Clean the fall outs from the eye makeup and prepare for blush. Cream blushes give a dewy finish when compared to the powder ones. Take a bit of the blush on the tip of your fingers or on your brush. Start from the apples of your cheek and work towards the temple. Keep a light hand and build up the colour as per your requirement.
Step 11:
Sweep a layer of loose powder or translucent powder on top. Use a fluffy face brush and tap off any excess while applying to avoid a cakey look.Step 12:
Line your lips and apply a natural pink colour. Lotus Pink Blush has been used for this look as it is a very natural shade and balances the eyes perfectly. You may use any other natural, nude or neutral shade. Top it with some gloss and you are ready to go.
The eye colour can be changed to any colour of your choice- blue, pink, maroon or even red. Just be mindful to check the lip shade accordingly as with a pink makeup it would be better to use nude or coral lips.
So the next time you want to put on some crazy muslim bride makeup and paint the town red, do not hesitate to pick up your brushes/liners and boldly experiment with colours and strokes. Follow the above mentioned guidelines and you would realize that looking like a million bucks does come easy after all!

Google Payment Banned in Pakistan by Western Union
We just discovered that On 29th June 2013, Western Union issued a notice to all its franchises in Pakistan to stop payments and transactions made by Google Inc.
Whether you are a Google employee or AdSense Publisher, unfortunately
you can no longer receive payments from Google through Western Union
Quick Cash. We discovered this news today when I was shown the official
notice which stated that due to several fraud cases being
reported, Western Union has decided to cut down all transactions made by
Google in Pakistan. Neither can a customer send money to Google as
Sender nor receive a payment as the receiving party. So far Publishers
living in Pakistan especially in cities like Lahore, Karachi and
Islamabad are not yet informed through any communication medium. Neither
have we heard anything from Badar Khushnood, the Country Google consultant.
The information is undisclosed and both parties are trying to keep
things confidential. We have not heard any print or electronic media
reports on this so far.
I discovered this news today when I visited the nearest WU franchise
near my home in order to withdraw our company's monthly AdSense payment.
Somehow we are really disappointed to know how badly the country is
losing its trust and credibility day by day. With up to 80% AdSense
Accounts banned each year in Pakistan, this is yet another set of a
horrible news that embraced us today.
Now its time for all bloggers and webmasters to edit the Payment method
using AdSense Account. This tutorial is aimed to help publishers from
Pakistan to continue receiving payments from Google without using
Western Union Money transfer system.
Change Payment Settings in AdSense
- Log in your AdSense account
- Click Account settings
- Under Payment settings click the link that says "edit payment method"
4. Under the check options you will see two radio buttons. Standard delivery
checks are sent by regular country mail and it often takes around a
month but if you want to receive the payment as quickly as possible
within 4-5 days then choose the Secured Express Delivery however this includes a charge of $25 which is the processing fee.
Standard delivery is done by Pakistan Post but Secured delivery is often done by a reliable courier service which is often TCS and rarely DHL.
5. We have chosen Express delivery option. You may choose as per your timely requirements. Hit continue and you are all done!
Will you be paid this month for your June Earnings?
Since AdSense has a strict policy for monthly payment cycles, therefore
if you are editing the payment method today then you will get June and
July payments together at the end of July. We are a little late because
payment settings must be changed 15 days earlier before the closing
month. Therefore finger crossed for June earnings but be glad that at
least you have set an alternative payment method.
Why Google does not pay via PayPal or Bank Wire?
We still don't know the exact reasons to this but as far as we know,
Google like many other big corporate firms don't use an Online
Transaction method like PayPal in order to avoid hidden commission costs
and charges. PayPal charges about 2.9% + $0.3 Per Transaction. On contrary WU charges much less i.e. Just $10 for a payment under $500.
Google makes sense in case of PayPal but what about Online Bank Wire
Transfer? Why can't publishers receive money straight in their bank
accounts? This is where AdSense doesn't make sense at all!
I just hope Google offers more flexible ways of Online transaction to
its users and sort out this newly erupted problem in Western Union
Pakistan.
When will Western Union Lift the Ban?
Not sure if this is a temporary ban or permanent, only time can tell.
Since it's a matter of some serious fraud cases being caught and
reported therefore unless Western Union recovers all the loses or make a
new silent business policy deal with Google, we can't expect the ban to
be lifted that soon.
Your Views?
Share your precious discoveries with us. What do you know forced WU to
take such a big decision? Will this create problems for you or you don't
care and enjoy to be paid via courier? Please share your precious views
with us.
Peace and blessings buddies.
