Line your eyes with pencil and blend with a pencil brush.
Quick Tip 1: You can line under the eyes for a more dramatic look.
Quick Tip 2: A little trick to open up your eyes a little is to apply a small amount of light eyeshadow (Bobbi Brown Apricot Bronzer) in the inner corner of the eye. The key to applying multiple shades is the make sure everything is blended well and to apply in stages.
 
Smokey Eyes: There are many variations of the smokey eye.
Use any dark shade on the lid.
Then use a different medium shade to blend in the crease.
Highlight under the brow with a lighter shade.
Caution: Be careful not to have any harsh lines. Quick Tip: Line your eyes with a black shadow or pencil and then apply mascara. For a more smokey eye, line your lower lid with brown or black pencil. Then try using the pencil brush to blend the color you used on your upper lid together with the pencil.

Eyepencils:
There are kohl pencils which are easier to blend when going for a smokier eye. Use an eyeshadow to blend it out.Use a regular pencil when you want something a little softer.There are also waterproof versions which work great when you want your makeup to last through tears or the pool.Keep your pencil sharpened to achieve the best results.

Cream/Liquid Liner:
There are several tricks to apply cream/liquid liner. My favorite is to look down into a mirror instead of trying to look straight on into your mirror. I like starting from the outer corner and working my way into the inner corner. Try different ways that seem comfortable to you. This is one area where you just need to practice a lot. Cream/liquid liner looks the best when it is applied only on the top lid. Smudge a softer shadow color under the eye using either the Angled Brush or Pencil Brush.
