Hi, my name is Yara, your beauty expert. I'm going to show you eyeshadow tricks for moon-shaped eyes. The tools that you'll be needing are, eyeshadow, fluffy brush and an angled brush. Let's get started. Now, when we say tricks, I'm going to show you different ways to use an eyeshadow. Sometimes people don't know this, but you can use an eyeshadow as an eyeliner. You can use it on your crease, or on your lid. There are just different places that you could put it. So, I'm going to show you a couple of them. I'm going to use first, the fluffy brush and I'm going to take my black eyeshadow form my pallet. And I'm going to apply it onto the lid, up to the crease, kind of like a smoky look. We're not going to use too much, because I'm also going to show you on top of this, how to apply as an eyeliner. You want to start off first, with the focus on your lid and then, bring it up. It doesn't have to be perfect. You can use your fingers to take some off, do the other side. You can make it as dramatic or not, as you want, it's all up to you. We're going to use the fingers here, to take some of it off. Once you've done that, we're going to take your angled brush, dip it into that black color, tap and we're applying this as a liner. Now, with the angled brush, what's going to happen, the color is going to be more compacted, I should say. So, it's going to make it darker. I always say, makeup is very versatile, you cannot go wrong. If you don't like it, just take it off, or just add more color in it, just play with it, don't be afraid of it. If anything, it should be afraid of you. You could wing it, you could blend it. So, you could wing it, you could blend it, those are my eyeshadow tricks for moon-shaped eyes. Don't forget, the most important tool is your eyeshadow. My name is Yara, your beauty expert, see you soon.
