This exercise is pretty much the same as the one using a barbell. Grasp the dumbbells and hold them at your sides while keeping back erect. Now, lift the weights up using only your shoulder muscles. Think of it like you are going to touch your shoulders to your ears. DO NOT roll your shoulders. And keep your arms extended - do not lift the weights by bending your elbows - lift with only your shoulders.
