Miss Cupcake is a busy girl. With 2 parties to attend in one night, she needs 2 fab looks she can transition to without a complete work-over! Follow these steps to go from a Sweet Cherry to a full-blown Cupcake in 20 minutes!

Look #1: Sweet Cherry
Step 1: Apply foundation and concealer where needed, including both sides of the mouth. Set face with loose powder and give cheeks a tint of pink with blush.
Step 2: Define eyebrows with dark brown shadow using angular brush. Keep lines sharp and extend slightly towards the temple.
Step 3:  Fill in lid with Elf magic dust all the way to the brow (use eyelid primer underneath for more lasting results). Apply Nymph magic dust on lower lids. Put on mascara on top lashes only.
Step 4: To make the cherry on your cheek, you will need 1 flat-back jewel (try different sizes & colors!), liquid eyeliner, and eyelash glue. Paint the back of the jewel with glue, let dry for about 30 seconds and stick to your cheek. Draw a stem with liquid liner and a leaf. Fill in the leaf with Elf magic dust using a thin brush.
Step 5: Apply Centrifuchsia lipstick to center of the mouth directly from the tube. If the shape doesn't come out perfect right away, don't stress - you can always correct it with a thin brush and concealer later. Your first look is complete!

Look #2: Cupcake
Step 1: Remove cherry from your face and touch up with foundation where needed.
Step 2: Draw top & bottom of your cupcake with liquid eyeliner (reference eyebrows for balance). Fill in under the eyes with Elf, and above eyebrows with Pink Poodle. Draw 4 straight lines to resemble the ridges of a cupcake.
Step 3: Attach 2 jewels on top with eyelash glue & put on false eyelashes. Voila!

Marie Antoinette: makeup tutorial
by Doe Deere, exclusively for limecrimemakeup.com

Not your typical 18th century girl, this Marie Antoinette is from Candyfuture!

Step 1: Cover face in pale foundation and set with powder. Give cheeks a flushed look with pink blush (try Pink Poodle magic dust).
Step 2: Sweep Nymph magic dust all over the eye and up to the brow bone. Define crease with Pink Poodle and inner corners with Circus Girl. Keep eyebrows light.
Step 3:  Darken top & bottom lashes with black mascara. Using liquid liner, draw a winged line as close to the lashes as possible. Stick falsies on top. Using felt-tip liner, spot on fake moles all over the face. Stick on cake confetti underneath the eye with eyelash glue. (Optional: you can use confetti instead of the moles!)
Step 4: Paint lips with Great Pink Planet Opaque Lipstick directly from the tube. Smile mischievously! ;)
