I think it is too dark near the brow. You should post a picture after you apply your liner and mascara.

I think you should use less of the shimmery shadow & more black eye shadow. :) You have very nice eyebrows, BTW.

I tried it too today, but I guess I used glitter eyeshadow and no eyeliner

Instead of taking it all the way up to the brow take it just into the crease of your eye and use a nude colour under your brow, this will make your eyebrows stand out more and make your makeup less heavy x.

Basic smokey eye:
- Dark color all over lid
- Medium shade in the crease
- light shade above crease
- and lots of blending


There are lots of other things that go into the smokey, but that's just a general idea of a smokey eye. You want a smokey eye to start from dark on the entire lid and have it fade past the crease.

Here is an example from a fellow Beautylisher:

Also, not all smokey eyes have to contain black. On top of that, blending black into your "V" also does not make it a smokey eye. You CAN use color. Just have a dark, medium, light. Hope I could help :)
Example I created:

But how do you blend, when I do the black at the end it looks scary. Is the black shade done by eyeshadow or just smudging the eyeliner?
