It's an all out panning blitz, aka USE IT ALL UP! Finish up those lingering products, hit as much pan as you can, and declutter those things you simply aren't in to. As @sparklekai noted, we need a fresh start to 2019.
We're more than half way done with 2018 which means it's time to reinvigorate our motivation to pan. The rules are simple, pick 10 things that you would like to finish and let us know what they are (photos welcome). Remember this is about you and your collection. Pick what works for you and know that there are no right or wrong choices!
We're adding a mini challenge to the mix. Check your stash and pick at least 4 items that you would like to complete by July 4th. Any product goes and you are more than welcome to pick items in your respective Project Pan. This is a good chance to finish products that have lingered in your collection and it should provide some motivation to persist with other panning projects. Let us know which items you aim to finish by July 4th and of course provide photos if possible.
Hey Everyone! As promised, here is our 2018 Panning Challenge Thread. To accommodate a variety of interests, you all are encouraged to pick items to pan that are most suitable to your collections. For some, this might mean focusing on a particular type of product (like lipstick) and for others this may include a larger variety spanning your entire makeup or skincare routine.
I will be adding information from the 2017 thread over the next few days but to get us started please share the following:
Which item(s) you would like to work on
How long you will work on said item
Goal: explore a new item, revisit an old item, decide whether to keep pass or trash, and/or completely finish item, etc.
Starting photo of item
Please use this thread to:
share what item(s) you are working on,
provide comparative progress photos of your item(s) monthly (at the beginning of the month when possible),
ask questions,
encourage others,
motivate others with the looks you create with your item(s)
Tips and Tricks to Panning/Getting Some Use Out of Your Stash:
Take photos!!When you think you aren’t making a dent in anything look back at those photos, I’m certain you’ll see some changes😃
If you goal is to hit pan or use something up entirely, try concentrating your brush/applicator in the same area each time you use it
Multitask your products: eyeshadows as highlighter, lipstick as blush, eyeshadow as brow powder, etc.
Layer eyeshadow to create different colors (this is especially helpful to get use out of shades you’re not fond of).
Have shadows with a ton of fall out?Use water
Watching the progress of others’ can be fun but try not compare your progress to theirs.We all use our makeup differently and have different goals.
Don’t restrict yourself to only using the item(s) you are working on.It’s more than OK to incorporate other items or take a break!
Makeup should be fun….if you begin to dread doing your makeup because you made a committment to use a product that you now hate, TOSS IT!Do not force yourself to use up something you don’t like.Move on to something else! (This includes excluding particilar shades from your goals if focusing on palettes, etc.)
Need some ideas to help you along the way? Here are a few:
Wow! That is a seriously well-loved palette, @ZombieMetroAnt! I just gifted this one to my niece for Christmas - looks like I chose a winner for her!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@ZombieMetroAnt I... have never personally seen the shiny metal surface at the bottom of the pan. For me it’s like finding a unicorn. This is amazing!!
