Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

*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)

  • 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:

Spoiler
  • 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 commitment 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 particular shades from your goals if focusing on palettes, etc.)

 

Ideas to Help You Pan Those Items:

Spoiler
  • Roll the dice: number your items and use a random number generator to pick what you will use each (day/week/month/etc.) 
  • Layer/Mask: items you are less fond of under things you like
  • Pan a Look: at the beginning of the week pick a look that you can wear everyday
  • Recreate: a look worn by a fellow BICer, celebrity, etc.
  • Spice up an "everyday" look by adding subtle pops of color (in the crease or on the lower lash line, mix lip products to make shades wearable, etc.)

May pan be ever in your favor!

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

That palette has served you well, congrats @howconnie on the impressive pan!

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Thank you

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

@howconnie How are you my dear??? This inspires me to pan at least 1 eyeshadow i dont care which one ... just need to do it!!!

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Panning is so satisfying to me, I think you would enjoy it as well. It’s like beauty konmari.

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

This is goals! You are the panning queen @howconnie ! 😻👸🏾🔥

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Aww, it took me three years. I just use five colors at a time until they are gone then move on to the next group. I plan what I’ll use before I buy the palette. Urban decay usually designs their large palettes in four sections so it works for me.

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Amazing @howconnie.  Just wow.

 

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Thanks 🙏🏿 

RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

~3 month update, finally finished 2 shadows!: Venus from Naked Basics, and #itsvintage from the Sephora Vintage Filter Palette. I had to repress Smashbox Taupe (Brow) but hope to fully pan that shadow next. I’ve finished my primer mini but am still plugging along on a few more things. Also pictured are skincare empties and my continuing project pan items.

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Congrats on so many pans and empties! You're doing great, @ElizabethJoy09 !

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Congrats on the pans @ElizabethJoy09 ! I'm also working on that Tarte blush. It's hard-pressed so it's going to take a while (at least it's not too pigmented)

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

The shadows didn't stand a chance @ElizabethJoy09 , nicely done!

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Great going! @ElizabethJoy09 

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

@ElizabethJoy09 Wow! Awesome job on your empties 🙂


Best,

Rebecca

Congrats on hitting pan on your products, @RNGesusPls ! Half baked is such a nice shade and so easy to use! Great pick! I tend to use my single of it when I'm in a hurry and just swipe it on alone bc it's so nice haha

Thanks @SpaceLlama ! It really is a nice one-and-done shade!
