Does anyone have a good explanation on how to do a smokey eye? My eye makeup needs help so if you have advice for anything with eyes that'd be great!

What I do for a very easy smokey eye is:
1. Prime my eyes
2. I sometimes blend NYX French Fries jumbo pencil into my lid
3. I take a fluffy brush and a light brown color (such as Urban Decay Naked) I usually use Beware from the UD Theodora palette, and blend it lightly into my crease
4. Take a dark brown color, I use either West from the same palette or Nars Brousse duo, and apply it to my lid
5. I go back with the light brown color and blend out the edges of the dark brown
6. Hilight my brow, I currently prefer a matte hilight so I use Wet n Wild brul? with a big fluffy shader brush
7. I put a black liner in my water line and smudge the dark brown on my lower lash line
8. Tons of mascara!
Keep in mind, the key to a good smokey eye is BLENDING. Blend blend blend! You can also switch up the colors I just like browns :) I hope that was slightly helpful!
