@Sunnysmom Don't get me wrong... love a strong berry or fuschia lip! I just seem more drawn to the easier to apply on the go factor of the balms and glosses. I like not having to worry about a perfect lip line during the warmer months especially. Kinda crazy how different those two look in the tubes but then in swatches much more similar than I'd have thought. I'd thought Chicago would have been more of a dark red, but it has more berry to it than imagined.

Week 17: The "Green" Makeup Capsule - Days 4 & 5 Day 4 - Green = Clean at Sephora 🍃, the packaging color 💚, and my favorite take on green for this week's capsule them, green = "now I have less green in my wallet 💸" 😂 I really liked this group of makeup products! I'll tag them in the spoiler. I posted more detailed thoughts to the product at Re: Makeup Challenge of the WeekSpoiler🐐 Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation 🛍 Dior Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter 014 Rosy 🌅 Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops Sun Glow Serum 1.35 oz / 40 mL (sample)🌺 SEPHORA COLLECTION Best Skin Ever Multi-Use Hydrating Glow Concealer 26 Peach 👁 #SEPHORA COLLECTION Love The Lift Curling + Volumizing Waterproof Mascara Ultra Black 🌻 Natasha Denona Biba All Neutral Eyeshadow Palette Full Size Biba Neutral Eyeshadow Palette - (part of the Pan It! - 2024 Challenge ) - it's in the SEPHORA COLLECTION Reusable Travel Jar Set - I scooped out a few shadows, including the shade: prairie that I'm trying to hit pan on. I've been mixing the colors together for my own customized shade - it helps me to like prairie more.🍃 LAWLESS Skin-Smoothing Talc-Free Perfecting Powder 💋 Yves Saint Laurent YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick 203 Blushed Mallow (sample) #SEPHORA COLLECTION Love The Lift Curling + Volumizing Waterproof Mascara Ultra Black - (part of the ) - it's in the - I scooped out a few shadows, including the shade: prairie that I'm trying to hit pan on. I've been mixing the colors together for my own customized shade - it helps me to like prairie more. Day 5 - Green = The "This is why I have less green in my wallet 💸💸💸" Green Makeup Capsule 🤣 (oh yeah, one of these items is Clean at Sephora, too! Ha!)This is the capsule I've been waiting to use. I've amused myself with my take on "green" with this one. 😅 There's probably just one product here that meets one of the two themes for the week and that is all good - I get in that one or more product and even if I didn't, all good too. I've been having a blast seeing what everyone is putting together and hearing about how their thoughts on the different items used.SpoilerCOMPLEXION:* Chanel Ultra Le Teint Ultrawear All Day Comfort Flawless Finish Foundation - lightweight consistency, demi matte finish, coverage is medium, but is buildable* Armani Beauty Power Fabric + Longwear Matte Concealer - an OG for me and a fabulous one at that. Blends beautifully, covers blemishes and dark circles, lasts all day, without creasing or looking cake* Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Hyper Finish 24H Multi-Use Natural Matte Powder 1 - finishing powder, satin matte finish, good blurring effect. The powder I have is shade 2 but it doesn't seem to populate for tagging. Wondering if Sephora will get all shades? 🤔* Gucci Brume de Beauté Beauty Mist 2.7 oz / 80 mL (🐐) - this keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day and it really melds well with makeup. 😍 This is my third bottle, so you could say that I'm a fan. lol EYES:* Armani Beauty Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow works well on its own or as a base, which is what I did here. A sales associate I work with from time to time had mentioned how great these were a year or so (?) ago but I didn't pick it up until after seeing @Samtian post a look with and talk about it* Chanel Les 4 Ombres Eclat de Nuit 268 Quad- a smokey eye look can be an overwhelming look for me. The shadows in this palette are easy to blend, making it easy for a quick, soft smokey eye* Valentino Twin Liner Gel and Liquid Eyeliner 01 Black and Nero - I recently had an opportunity to have my makeup done and I took it. As the woman in the chair next to me said "we have to treat ourselves sometime." This lasted all day - I'm sure much of that was do to the professional application, but I was impressed. I'm still learning to work with this one but it's got good staying power* Dior Diorshow Iconic Waterproof Mascara Extreme Black - one of the mascara I consider tops and that has been repurchased from time to time. CHEEK:* TOM FORD Soleil Glow Bronzer 02 Terra - cool toned, matte finish. It's on the sheer side which I don't mind as I'm more on the fair side and don't mind doing a little more work to build up the color. This will work best for those with fair / fair-to-light complexions and who prefer a soft, sheer, subtle wash of bronze* Dior Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter 014 Rosy (🛍) is a beauty. I was doing fairly well with not picking up any of these new Dior liquid highlighters, but, in the end, literally, on the last day of the sale I think, resistance was futile - it's a pretty 2-in-1 blush and highlighter. A little goes a long way, I need just a teeeeeeensy, tiiiiiiiiny dab of color. And then, blend, blend, blend... LIPS: * Westman Atelier Lip Suede Lipstick Palette Les Nudes - part of this year's Pan It! Challenge - it's gotten a harder to reach for it now that I hit pan on that lightest shade (I used it solely as a primer); that's not becuase I don't like the colors remaining because I do - I'm just trying to make my way through more of my lip stash. At least to set aside the ones that are in that "do I keep it or do I let it go?" camp.COMPLEXION:* Chanel Ultra Le Teint Ultrawear All Day Comfort Flawless Finish Foundation - lightweight consistency, demi matte finish, coverage is medium, but is buildable* - an OG for me and a fabulous one at that.

Waxing Poetic: When I first thought about doing this challenge, I somehow thought that I'd get to what would be an ultimate makeup capsule for myself through process of elimination or decluttering, and, that's not to say that that isn't happening because it is, but I'm also finding myself discovering (or rediscovering) products that I know I absolutely want to have in my stash, and that has been a lot of fun. I've also come across things I might not have otherwise known about, thanks to all of you (but says my wallet: "yeaaah, thanks to all of you!" 😏) as well as some tips and tricks, and other ways to use or to repurpose products. Thank you, BIC!

Run to grab the HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Dual-Ended Multi-Purpose Brush it is so perfect for picking up powder blush/bronzer etc, and the flat side could even be used to blend out complexion sticks like the new Ilia one. I love the versatility and value for cost with this product.

@katnicole22 You are not alone! I gave up testing countless bronzers and started using sculpting and contouring products. Yes, they are cool-toned, and bronzers typically are for warmth. But let me tell you, I'd rather have natural-looking depth and tan than a tangerine. Try playing around with the Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick Biscuit.
