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:
Take photos!!When you think you arenโt making a dent in anything look back at those photos, Iโm certain youโll see some changes๐
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 youโre not fond of).
Have shadows with a ton of fall out?Use water
Watching the progress of othersโ can be fun but try not compare your progress to theirs.We all use our makeup differently and have different goals.
Donโt restrict yourself to only using the item(s) you are working on.Itโs more than OK to incorporate other items or take a break!
Makeup should be funโฆ.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 donโt like.Move on to something else! (This includes excluding particular shades from your goals if focusing on palettes, etc.)
@PaulinaAP Awesome progress! That NARS pan is so satisfying isnโt it? Itโs really tough to pan lipstick so youโre doing great with those MAC lipsticks ๐
To be honest I was convinced for the longest that ABH would bring the palette back and/or do another collab with him but that dream is starting to become a distant memory ๐
I can't remember the name of it but I feel like there are some reviews on YouTube that compare this to another palette with a similar color scheme.
Heck yes @trishavt! I know you've been waiting for this moment and I couldn't be more proud. Now that you've finished it, is it something you enjoyed and would repurchase again or are you saying "thank you, next"?
@ElleElleG thank you thank you!! Itโs such a good feeling to know Iโm putting all these purchases to good use. I donโt plan on repurchasing because I have so many other products to work through. Lots of other fun pan projects!
Of course, you've done some great work @trishavt ! And yes, that feeling of using something to this point despite the size of our collections is what keeps me motivated. Can't wait to see what you set your sights on next ๐
Thanks! Iโm working on an hourglass palette atm which has a color that looks more like a bronzer on me than a blush but itโs hourglass mood exposure. @heartsmyface
