A true smokey eye would be the darkest on the lid fading to the lightest at the brow bone whereas this looks like the darkest on the outer v and lightest near the tear tuct. It's still nice though (:

Great attempt 🌟🌟🌟💫

I suggest blending the edges and maybe adding another lighter shade of brown to work as the transition shade. To me a smokey doesn't always have to be a pitch black smokey eye. If you do want to do it a bit darker I would suggest adding a darker brown to the lid and blending up and out all around to create the traditional smokey eye. It would be brown instead of black. I love brown smokey eyes

Personally I would go with simpler colors than what everyone else is suggesting. Instead of starting right off the bat with black, try and get the technique down with neutrals first. The way I like to do mine is start off with a primer then cover the from lash line to brow bone in a matte skin tone color. Then go in with a fluffy brush and a matte mid tone color like a tan-beige color and go through ought your entire crease. Next stay with the fluffy brush and go with a color thats a little bit darker like a light chocolate brown color, also matte, and put that into the crease 2/3 of the way. Next take a thinner pencil brush and the darkest color (you can use black but I suggest a dark chocolate type of color) and put that in the outer V 1/3 of the way in. Then take a clean pencil brush and blend blend blend! blending is always key and its impossible to over-blend! If you can't get a blended line towards the upper part of your eye then just take the skin tone color used earlier and place it in the space between your brow and the crease colors until its all blended out. I like to finish it off with a sparkly/metallic champagne on the lid and glen one last time and put a little bit of it on the inner corner as well. Then all you have left to do is line your eyes however you want and apply mascara! if any of this confuses you I can do a pictorial and post it, just let me know!
