so smokey can be established with several different colors. Most people think they need a black eye shadow, but it doesnt always have to be that way. Also! A lot of people dont know this, but using your finger instead of an applicator helps give a more even blend of color.

I would start by using an eyeliner that is a charcoal grey. Then, I would buy a three combo eye shadow, probably in a smokey grey, a dark blue and a light blue. Use the light blue for the area directly under your eyebrows, take the grey and fill your eye lid area with that, and then use a bit of the blue to blend into the light blue and grey. You want the color to be even so it looks more natural.
