You need Jackie :) but so you know, you need to apply a super dark liner on your lashline, blend, apply a light color all the way up to the brow bone, a midtone past the crease, and then apply your darkest shade all over the lid. It should end up like this. The key is blending; if you can tell where on color ends and the other begins, blend more.

Okay think three shades: light, medium and dark. The medium color is your midtone :) it's just a fancy word haha.

Hey Annely B. it is an okay start... A smokey eye usually consists of three shadows; a dark shade, a lighter one, and an even lighter one... For my example we will use black gray and a matte silver... My smoky eye process consists of the following;
I first take a black blendable liner and apply it on and next to my lashline, then I smudge it upwards... Next I apply a black shadow all over the lid and into the crease. Then take the gray shadow and overlap it slightly against the black, pull the gray up to a little over the natural crease. Then apply the silver with same technique on the bottom of the browbone below where a highlight would be... The key to a smokey eye is for it to be impeccably blended. By thus I mean that the colors have to be so smooth and gradient looking that you can't tell where one color stops and the next starts. Hannah is right though if you want the best definition you can get, talk to Miss Jackie... Hope this helps... Here is a pic of a smoky eye. Oh and remember a true Smokey eye doesn't have a sharp Li e creating that cat eye look...

As many of these beauties said, from darker to lighter, blending is the key, a good primer aswell.
