I recommend instead of using a brown on the outside use a black?

It's not a fail it's an attempt so just keep practicing you'll get it I'm sure.I will say that a smokey eye is darker colors fade into light,Their is NO such thing as a light smokey eye (Think of fire and how the stages of fire to smoke is) Now there is the term Smoked out but it's not the same as a Smokey eye and another one that gets confusing is adding a V at the outer corner of your eye well that is the Gradient style ( Not a smokey eye).Any dark color will do for a smokey eye but always transition fade to light :)

I recomend using a black, and blending a lot better. Try bringing it more into your inner corner, using a light light color.

The color needs to come over further towards the left. Also try to get better at blending. I would say use pink silver and black. Plus a black cat eye and mascara would make it look even better :)
