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!

Dainty for sure @ShortErica !

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

@ShortErica   I think I’m on team dainty as well:) 

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Dainty sounds great a nice bronzy apricot to warm up the cheeks 

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Maybe it's because you described it as "melon" coloured, but I also vote for Dainty, @ShortErica 🙂 sounds perfect for August! 

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

@ShortErica  i vote for dainty!!!

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

@ShortErica  my vote is for Dainty.

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

@emaisgr8 @sparklekai @SpaceLlama Dainty it is! The melon description is how Tarte described it on the box so hopefully it lives up to the claim vs. my June and July colors which didn't seem to match how their pans appeared.

RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

I’m in the middle of packing and getting ready to move but I wanted to do a quick lil update. I’ve officially finished the Becca creme highlight and the ambient lighting palette! Now I can move onto the Burt’s bees highlight stick and the full-size ambient lighting powder in ethereal light.

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Congrats on those pans, @Kaylabr !! That's amazing progress 🙂

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

That is some awesome pan @Kaylabr!

Wow amazing and convenient pans @Kaylabr !

RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

Nice job, @Kaylabr. No better time than right before a move. Two less things to pack!

Re: RE: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!
