Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

Welcome to the Pan It Challenge, 2022 Edition!!

I'm claiming a 2022 that's greater than our wildest imaginations, also for my longtimers this will be our FIFTH YEAR doing this challenge. Thanks to all who've stuck around and everyone who's tested themselves and jumped into the madness. You all are amazing 😘

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.)

@snoflakefaerie I literally just used that too faced palette today!!! Good luck 😊

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@snoflakefaerie Great goals and beautiful palettes!

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

So… this happened when I was looking for something in my collection last night 😭 I had it in a box on a rack and the box slipped from my grasp when I reached for it. Lesson learned: I’m going to reorganize that space and take all fragile items out. Luckily only a small amount shattered onto the wooden floor and most of it stayed in the pan. It’s a huge pan so I’m glad most of it was saved. I don’t even recall this brand but I got it when I was on vacation a couple years ago so it makes me a little sad that I broke it. However, this makes me want to enjoy it all the more lest any other makeup accidents occur again so I’m making this the primary item of my project pan! 🌟

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@Guessgal  Awwww, that’s upsetting.  Have you got a little crystal candy dish or jar you could transfer that to to make using it feel more elegant?  

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@Guessgal -- bummer, it's pretty! Maybe if repressing it is too much of a pain, you can just grind it to fine powder, and use it loose or mix in with a little face oil or moisturizer. Good luck!

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

Oh I’m so sorry @Guessgal . This happened to me couple times too. 🥲😭

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

I HATE when this happens! That happened to one of my favorite blushes and I almost cried. I haven't tried repressing anything, but I've watched a decent amount of videos on it, and I think the key is that you really need to mash it up and make a slurry to get a good repress. I haven't had the heart to "destroy" things more to make them right again.

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@snoflakefaerie Oh goodness, I am with you on that last point! The thought of crushing up a product I like in the process is just unbearable 💔

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@Guessgal Oh dear sorry that happened. That happened to me a few years back with abrand new highlighter i bought. I read that rubbing alcohol helps solidify it again. I tried it but it kept crumbling. I don't recommend without doing your research. I don't know if adding rubbing alcohol would be good for the skin (especially if it is dry). But it did make my highlighter into a bit of a paste and then dried. I am sure it would change the formula.

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@Guessgal, I was visualizing the fall in slow-mo as I read your post! Noooooo! 😫 I’m glad that most of stayed in the compact. Will you try to re-press it or convert it into a loose powder bronzer?

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

Good question @itsfi! I considered repressing it with rubbing alcohol like @Mellmars1185 mentioned, but I’ve never done it before so I’m a little nervous about messing it up. I realized this bronzer is super soft so I don’t think it’ll develop any hard chunks that sometimes happen when panning pressed powders. So yes, I will use it as a loose powder and see how it goes 😊

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@Guessgal ohhhh nooo!!!

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

@Guessgal noooooooo 😥

Re: Pan It! - 2022 Challenge

Report back on the eyeshadow work. I hit pan on another shade 🥰

I also found another perfume bottle has about 15-20 ml left so I would throw it in this year project pan as well 😂🤣
