*12/15/19 - The 2020 thread is now live: Pan It! - 2020 Challenge!
👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 Hi All!
Can y'all believe 2019 is literally knocking on the door?? Given its proximity it's high time we get the 2019 Panning Challenge Rolling.
The "Rules"
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.
Getting Started (please share the following)

May pan be ever in your favor!
I love seeing everyone's progress. I thought I'd give an update on mine. My start of my panning is to use every shade at least once and go from there. I've had some changes since the start of the year, so it's time to show them. I currently have, if my horrible math is correct, 47 palettes/quads/things to test not including singles. I have fully tested 13 of them. I had started only using each palette for about a week and only at work. I know go through each palette until it is done, and not at work, due to work environment conditions getting worse haha. I'm putting everything in the spoilers since it is a bit much.
Finished Palettes-
Results-...Well looks like I didn't take photos of some. I'll have to fix that later.
Partial Tested + Results-
Waiting-
So that's that for now!
Are checks ones you liked and the Xs ones you didn’t like? Or are they tried and not tried? @Samtian
@heartsmyface The KVD Saint & Sinner was one of the early ones and x was for everything. Everything else the x is bad, check is good,? is unsure, and - is no opinion.
I have a trip at the end of June through mid-July so I'm looking for help with choosing two shades from the palette for the next couple months.
As always, I appreciate the BIC members who have helped with prior selections: @GG84 - Authentic for January, @GG84 -Skillful for February, @eshoe - Angelic for March, @ElleElleG - Exhilarating for April and both @sparklekai and @christyrc for the inspiration to use Paaarty for May.
A little detail about the shades I have:
Tarte holiday blush bazaar top circle (at 12 o'clock) then rotating clockwise:
-Highlight - Whimsical - X Not Included X
-Angelic (peachy pink) – X March X
-Fortunate (pink melon)
-Skillful (pink berry) – X February X
-Exhilarating (fuschia) - X April X
Second circle (at 1 o'clock) then rotating clockwise:
-Endless (pink raspberry)
-Dainty (melon)
-Extraordinary (shimmering coral)
-Highlight - Worthy - X Not Included X
-Authentic (plummy rose) - X January X
-Tarte blush - Paaarty (nude) - X May X
-Bare Minerals Secret (mauve)
I also have a picture of Paaarty for the end of this month:
Paaarty is a good shade but as I said in the spoiler, I don't want to have to wear one blush forever to get pan. That's why I wanted a blush palette in the first place - to try a variety of shades. But I'm glad to have Paaarty from the birthday gift ..though why did I need the GWP bag that also had Paaarty, I don't know. Maybe I should pass it along for someone else to enjoy since it is a nice product.
Any opinions for the summer months are appreciated! Also, I'm halfway through my 10 shades which is pretty cool. 🙂
@ShortErica My vote is to lay down the lighter shade first with a big fluffy brush and then lay the second shade down right over top but don’t blend it out as far as the base layer. I think they’d mix well.
You must have faith in my makeup abilities @heartsmyface cause I don't think I've even thought of blending blushes. I think those will be the shades I use. I'll have to see about this two blushes at one time thing. 😉
@ShortErica haha, i’m just reading this now! How’d the blending go for you?
Shoot @heartsmyface. Never tried it. And I forgot today was the 1st and used the “June” blush today instead of the coral shimmer. I must say I was disappointed in the peach shade. Perhaps my foundation which leans cool affected it but it looked more pink and less peach most days. Which was an okay shade just not what I expected/wanted.
@ShortErica I vote for the one between April and March!
@Samtian I think that one is a highlight..more gold right? I probably should use it during summer for warmer looks though. Thanks! 🙂
Great job on panning your blushes! I actually was very close to finishing my Tarte Paaarty blush from the Sephora birthday gift and then it broke. I personally love it so I bought a replacement. 😬
@Gemini619 I'm sorry it broke but great job on panning it!
My Tarte blushes look like I've never even used them, @ShortErica 🙈 You definitely made some progress on Paaarty though! I feel like Extraordinary would be a cool shade for June since it's coral and it'll give you a glow! 🙂
@SpaceLlama I've been waiting for a warmer month to do that one. This definitely seems like the right time!
How many tarte blushes do you have? Not that I need more blush but I like the formula and am curious about their standard shades.
Paarty took me FOREVER to pan! I will say that as I have tried more blush formulas I have come to appreciate the build-ability of the amazonian clay blushes. I love how you have split up the blush palette by month! Such a great way to ensure that you get use out of the products without getting too bored!
Thanks @m3rc3d3s! I guess that's the good and bad about blushes - taking forever to pan. Nice that they can be used a lot and get your money's worth but they stick around forever when you want to try other things. I hope this palette will be good for another couple years and maybe..maybe..I'll hit pan in something.
TF quad pan project progress. Ive been using this quad at least every other day. Not gonna lie I’m getting bored of the same look so I’ll occasionally switch to another TF quad or some ABH singles. It’s nice to switch it up but dang it sure it hard to pan eyeshadow!
Great progress @trishavt
Mixing things up are good for the soul so I'm glad you play with other items now & again to motivate you push forward 😃
You're doing great, @trishavt ! I feel you on getting bored of the same look. I haven't been using my pan projects as much for the past month because I wanted to try other looks and palettes. I don't wanna neglect my other palettes either haha
@SpaceLlama I feel you! I want to commit myself to panning but I find myself bored with the same palette so I'll switch over to something else and forget about my original goal. Somehow I end up remember my original pan project later and start all over again. haha!
