Here are the steps for smokey eyes, but is hard with out a visual so I suggest finding a tutorial. Recommendation: the event makeup artist
1) Put a neutral or bone colored shadow on the lid to start fresh
2) choose your smokey shadow color, black, grey, dark blue..., and apply it to the outer corner of your eye lids. You only want the corner so your going to make an inverted ';V'; shape. The point should be on the outer corner of your lid and the two legs should fallow the crease between your eye ball and the brow bone. the second leg should fallow the lash line.
3) Next you want to choose a lighter color to create some contrast on your eye. Apply the lighter color to the center of the eye lid. Be sure to blend well. You don't any obvious lines of distinction between the shadow colors.
4) You can add some dark liner (or your shadow) in a thin line to the outer lid lash line for more intense dramatic look.
5) take some shadow and apply a thin eye liner to the bottom lid. this is called a drop shadow. It shouldn't be too dark like a black eye, just enough to balance out the look.
6) apply a brow bone highlight. A color along the bone under the eyebrow to add detail and depth to the eyes.
OK, start off with putting on your foundation etc. before hand, put a little bit on your whole eyelid, I recommend a powder foundation as it is much lighter than liquid foundation. Then, apply pencil eyeliner along your water line, try and do it in one straight motion. You'll need 3 colours of eyeshadow, shinyish white (better if its creamy not powder), grey and black. Lightly, apply the shiny white eyeshadow all over your eyelid, so it covers the whole surface of the eyelid. Get the grey eyeshadow and LIGHTLY apply only over the mobile part of the eyelid, this should be transparent so you can still see the shiny eyeshadow, then lightly blend into the white. Take the black eyeshadow and go from half-way across the mobile part of the eyelid and sweep outwards. Gently press the black eyeshadow along the side of the corner of the eyelid. Blend the black into the grey and the white into the black. Put on some liquid eyeliner (optional) and some black mascara to make it more dramatic!
Hope this helps xxxx
As the other person has mentioned, there are tons of videos on youtube that you can watch in order to create smokey eyes. Smokey eyed makeup can be anywhere from subtle to super dramatic, here are a few links to different styles of smokey eyes:

If your more of a reading kind of person, this is how I personally create the smokey eye kind of look.
1. Apply a primer, I like urban decays primer potion OR too faced shadow insurannce
2. Apply a white base, I like NYX jumbo pencil in Milk
3. Apply a shimmery white in the inner corner of your eye
4. Apply a light grey next to that
5. Apply a silver next to that
6. Apply a dark grey at the end
7. Above your crease, and on your lower lash line smudge some black
8. Liquid liner on top lash line
9. Pencil liner on bottom
10. Mascara
Also, glitter liners will make it more night time like, or sparkly mascara, rhinestones too.

Hey it's quite hard to explain in words so I found a video on youtube where the girl does her own and you can bot do it at the same time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7QIWEsj8鈥?/a> the actual video doesnt start until 0:25 so don't think it is just a video of pictures. If you didn't like that perticular version there are lots of others on related videos on the left hand side. Hope this has helped and you create the smokey eyed look you want :)
