1
Using a black cream eye base (cream eyeshadow) or gel eyeliner, apply all over the lid and create a soft wing towards the tail of the brow (it can be as big or as small as you like). Line the waterline and lower lashline.
Note: I used Black from the Makeup Forever Flash Palette -

Using a black powder eyeshadow, apply over the top of the cream eyeshadow and gently 'smoke' out the edge just above the lid, into the crease of your eye socket and over the wing you have created. Continue to blend with a fluffy blending brush until a slight gradient has appeared between the cream and powder shadows.
Note: I used Carbon eyeshadow by MAC -

To intensify the look, extend both the cream and powder shadows above the crease and below the lower lashline. Add a vampy dark lip to complete this grungey look!
