Since some times has passed since my first smoky eye attempt (which was not that successful because it wasn't a real smoky eye, you can see the result here: http://www.beautylish.com/f/rmrzyws ), yesterday I decided to give it a second try. Since I don't have gray eyeshadow I used brown and black eyeshadows.

What do you think? Is this close to a smoky eye- I know it's not perfect yet...

I think you got the concept right just remember blend, blend, blend! :) the smokey eye has to have that smokey effect and not the harsh lines. Blend the top and blend the bottom. Good job though!! You can only get better by practicing. Do good job girly!

It looks great but I would blend the color ou more on top so that it "fades" because it looks a bit too harsh where the brown stops. but I must say it looks amazing with your eyes.

I don't think its technically a smoky eye but with a touch of blending just at the browbone it would be perfect :)

Thank you all so so much for your advices!! :))

I think I understand know what was my mistake all the time- I used brown eyeshadow on the top lid and black above it- so it should be like the other way around, right? And blending of course (I suck at blending).

Omg, I think I'm going to give it a 3rd try haha.
