First time making a more natural smokey eye. Open to pointers! I never really feel like I can pluck out a smoky eye, but I dig browns. 

I feel like a bolder lash would really tie it all together and give it a bit more oomph to feeling like a complete look. Maybe false lashes or just a good one or two layers of black mascara?

Smokey eyes can be a tough one in my opinion and there are lots of different ways and styles to do it but my favorite one that has best worked for me and is super easy is the kohl pencil smokey eye. So all you gotta do is take a soft, black smudging eye pencil and apply it in a wing shape starting for the eye’s other corner and then thoroughly blend it outwards and up with a smudge brush. Afterwards add a bit of a soft brown eyeshadow to smooth out the black even more, kind of like a gradient. I also like to add a bit of a beige shadow around the edges to fully smooth everything out and a little pop of a champagne shimmer in the inner corner

Used Ucanbe Choco Fusion color palette for shadow, Maybelline Tattoo Studio white eye liner for inside lower lid, and my brown eye liner is so old that I’ve sharpened away the brand, haha. Oh, and I used Urban Decay Brow Blade for my brows.

I love how the eyeshadow colors you used are so similar to the reddish bronze-ey colors of your hair and eyebrows! It almost looks like you just woke up with eyeshadow on because the colors just make themselves at home on your face.
