i apply black MAC eyeshadow gradually, i dont put loads on at once because its hard to get off! i make it darkest in the outer corners of my eye, and smudge it across.
For eyeliner, I use a normal kohl black eyeliner, on both upper and lower lids, but before applying I put the hairdryer on it for a couple of seconds, it makes it soft and easier to smudge for the smoky eye look!
