Smoke:

Take a small amount of black eye shadow and pat it onto a brush. Tap off excess powder, lightly swipe the brush onto a paper towel to get rid intense pigment. Now rub the bristles in circles onto the corner of the marshmallow to make the darkened effect. Go lighter on the edges and darker on the inside. Add more eye shadow onto the brush if needed.
