Perfect Smokey Eye

So, I'm not a makeup artist nor an expert. But, every time I search the Internet for a smokey eye tutorial I get complicated steps. The way I do my smokey eye is pretty simple. Liquid eyeliner, black and white eyeshadow! All I do is line my eyelids, top first, and quickly smudge with my pinky finger. Don't wait too long to do that seeing is how liquid liner dries after about 40 secs. Next I add the black eyeshadow and then white and slightly smudge that also. Simple right? And I get the same look that you see in the magazines, with half the steps.
