In this blog I will be keeping my words to a minimum. I am very excited to share a video that walks you through the the simple process of applying smokey cat eye makeup. This video comes in response to the many requests I’ve received about the techniques that I use. Check out my easy tips, jot down what products you would like to own and try it out for yourself.
But, before you click PLAY, please note that this video was made possible by the brilliant and talented work of Andrei Litvinov and Louis Sparre. If you wish to reach out to them, you can find their contact information on their site Workers of The East or see more of their work on their Facebook page. Thank you guys, and a huge thank you goes out to my amazing sister Arina for being such a beautiful model.

A M A Z I N G Biana! I LOVE that you included a list of products along with your fabulous techniques!! Blue Mercury & MAC are going to love me today, stocking up on products! Thank you to you & your sister xo
Lindsay,
As you can tell, I need to restock my many of my eye shadows. The problem is, I want everything at Sephora and MAC when I go.
-Biana
From one makeup girl to you, Great job! I love all the products used (have majority of them) and will try the look myself!
Thank you, Anna. Do you mostly use MAC?
-Biana
Yes I do, I also use Laura Mercier (liquid liner is great) and NARS. Hope to see more tutorials!
I would love to do more tutorials. This was so much fun!
-Biana
Great video B! Now I know all of your beauty secrets! You should put this on YouTube if you already haven’t.
Hi Andrea,
Thank you so much. I am really glad that you found it helpful. Let me know how it works out when you try it, yourself. It is on youtube.com. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaNbznXSxRQ

Yes!!! Finally a step by step how to create a perfectly sexy and smoky eye. Thanks Biana
Helen, you’re welcome. Have fun trying these easy tips and let me know how it goes.
-Biana
Amazing! I still don’t think I could do it myself but now I know who to call when I want it
Going to get that lipstick asap however!
Jenn,
I work next door to Saks, so whenever you want to go makeup shopping, call me.

Thank you Biana for sharing these make up tips and techniques and thanks for listing the products needed for creating the look.
Monika,
I am so happy that you found the video helpful. Luckly these products are still available. I just hate when my favorite products get discontinued.

Love it!!! So helpful! I also find that applying eye makeup before foundation is a must…that way, shadow/mascara, etc that falls & flakes can be wiped away without ruining the rest of the face!
PS…the video itself was phenom!
Thank you, Stacey. There are also Sephora Shields, that you put on while you are applying eye makeup and peel off once your eyes are complete. Or you can try putting a translucent powder under the eyes which allows you to lightly brush the flakes off. I put mine on first out of habit, but I agree, it is smarter to do it after the eye makeup.

I love smokey eyes…Thank you!! Also, I’m a fan of MAC!
Chrissy, I am a huge fan of MAC, but I found that NARS colors, although a little pricier are more concentrated and are more true to the way they appear in the palette. Many MAC colors do the same thing, but some I have purchased were a lot lighter than in the packaging.
xoxoxo

Great video B!! Love it! I watched the video and was just about to send you a msg. asking for the specific products then clicked on the site and saw the list. Let’s just say I will be visiting MAC, Sephora and Blue Mercury tomorrow! Wish me luck! Something tells me it won’t look as good as yours though! Keep all the great fashion and beauty advice coming!!
Thank you Linds. I have to go, too. If you go on Sunday, I wouldn’t mind visiting Sephora. This inspired me to get even more goodies.

Did this last night and got complimented on my eye make up right away! But my most important question is what nail polish are you wearing? I LOVE it!
Marina,
I had a feeling that someone was going to ask this question. It is an OPI color, but I don’t remember the name. When I go to get my nails done, I will find out the color. It was a really pretty metallic as you can tell in the video. I promise, I will get you the name.
