Alternate mixing in the remaining powdered sugar and water.

For extra smooth consistency, (1) sift the powdered sugar before mixing in and (2) stir the finished buttercream with a wooden spoon for a few minutes. This will help get out any air bubbles in the icing and create a smooth finish on the outside of the cake!
