How do you get the "smokey eye" look?

Hi everyone, I just wanna share with you how to maneuver a smokey eye look.

First decide on the colours you want to use: black, charcoal, grey, plum, brown...smokey eyes are usually done with dark colours.

All you need to do is place the dark colour on your lid so from your lash line up to your crease. Make sure to blend well because otherwise, it will just look like you just plopped the colour on. With an angle brush, you'll need to take that colour and sweep it just underneath your lashes thus replacing your actual eyeliner. Wet that same brush and using the same colour, draw in your eyeliner on the top of your eyelid close to your lash line. Finish the look off in black mascara and voila! All done!

I love smokey eyes! have a super day

Just on top of the eye lid and under the bottom lashes or do you extend to the sides a little?
