Alternatives:
*You could actually use any product you prefer for your face and skin tone and any cosmetics you have at home. You don't need to buy the products I used; just find yourself something that's closest to the colors I used.

STEPS
1. Using the Maybelline Clear Smooth 8-in-1 Skin Transformer, put  a pea-size on your finger (since it's liquid) and spread it evenly on your face. Do not put too much since it's not the main foundation we are going to use; it just serves as your face primer.


2. Using the Ever Bilena Concealer Mousse, cover the unpleasant dark spots or blemishes on your face and make sure you spread it evenly - not leaving your face with an imbalanced skin tone.


3. Get some powder from the Avon Smooth Mineral Powder Foundation and mix it well with any loose powder of your choice to prevent a very concentrated color of your foundation. (See the picture above)

4. Get any light pink and brown blush-on or if you have, use the one I mentioned above which is The Color Workshop Eyeshadow and Blush set and pour some mineralized blush powder unto it and mix it evenly.
*Note: You could also use your eyeshadow as your blush-on.


5. Using a fine brush most preferably a fan brush, line your cheek bone using the brown blush for contouring.
*Note: The Brown blush is used to accentuate your cheekbone especially if you have a round face.


6. Using a blush brush, apply the pink blush only on the apple of your cheeks and do not exaggerate it. Blend it well with the brown line on your cheek bone.
*Note: Since it is mixed with a mineralized blush powder, it will create a very strong color but let it be like that.


7. Using the brush you used earlier when putting foundation on, brush your cheeks to slightly lessen your cheek redness and to make it look more natural.
*Note: We are using the foundation brush again because it has an excess foundation powder in it (the leftovers.. hehe) which will cover the redness of your cheeks. Do not add foundation powder in it anymore for it may totally cover or even remove your cheek blush. Control your cheek redness to your chosen shade whether you like it dark or light. (I prefer a lighter cheek color because we are doing a Smoky Eye; it is better light to accentuate your eyes more.)


8. Using the Ever Bilena Brown Brow Liner, line the bottom-most part and the uppermost part of your eyebrows and use the angle brush to spread it all over your brows. Do not make it too dark. Using the Avon Brown Brow Liner or any darker brown than the one you first used, line only the bottom-most part of your brows.



9. Using any black eyeliner (I just used a black eyeshadow instead of an eyeliner), apply it on your lower water line and smudge it out to your lower lid (but not too much; when smudging it, focus more on the lower outer part of your eyes).

10. Using the Maybelline eyeshadow, spread the orange shade to your whole eyelid; it serves as the base of your Smoky Eye.






11. Using the darkest/chocolate brown of your Ever Bilena eyeshadow, apply it on the outer third part of your eyelid and line all the edges of the orange eyeshadow.




12. Using the brown shade lighter than the darkest/chocolate brown, fill only the middle part of your lid and blend it evenly with the edge of the darkest brown.






13. Use the Gold shade of our Maybelline eyeshadow and fill the innermost corner of your lid. Blend it with the edge of the lighter Brown. Also, put the white shade of our Maybelline eyeshadow over your tear duct and lower inner lid.




14. Using any mascara, apply it on your eyelashes, let it dry, and curl it with the eyelash curler.


15. Using the MAC 5-in-1 Foundation, apply the whitest shade over the lower part of your eyebrows to accentuate the shape of your brows.


16. Using any light lip gloss, apply it on your lips. Do not use a darker or red lip gloss for it may ruin the Smoky effect of your eyes.



This look is great for an everyday look for it is very simple and easy to do. :)
