A wonderful alternative to the traditional smoky eye using charcoal colors is to use a dark espresso eyeshadow pigment. Here’s how from my makeup San Antonio experience!
• 
Espresso colors work best for warmer skin tones, so start out your smoky eye by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyelid.
• After that, use your makeup brush to sweep the deep espresso color all the way across your eyelid.
• Use your contour makeup brush to apply the espresso eyeshadow pigment to your lower lash line.
• Use a clean makeup brush or Q-tip to smudge the espresso color on your lower lash line to create the smoky look.
• Use a lighter brown or neutral color to blend the espresso eyeshadow up into your brow bone.
• Finish by using your contour brush to apply another line of eyeliner across your top lash line using the espresso eyeshadow pigment.
And there you have it – the espresso smoky eye made easy!
