Hi, I'm Daniela Rowson. I'm a makeup artist and I'm going to show you how to do subtle eye shadow for oval eyes. The products that we will need are: light blue eye shadow, a blending brush and a placement brush. So, our first step will be applying the light blue eye shadow and we're going to start right on the lid. So, we're just going to grab the loose eye shadow and with a flat brush just put it on there and tap off the excess. So, we're just going to start by packing the soft blue eye shadow on the lid and we already have a soft gray on the crease but we just want to add with a soft baby blue. With blue you have to be careful because you can make it really dramatic quickly so you want to make sure that after we place it on there that we blend it out so you can still see it but it's not too dramatic. Now we'll do the same thing on the other side. So to get a subtle look with blue eye shadow, just make sure that the eye shadow itself is not too shimmery and that you blend really well. My name is Daniela Rowson, and thanks for watching.
