Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Welcome to Year 7 of our Pan It! Challenge ElleElleG_0-1704168084184.gif

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 😃 *this is the number one recommendation for everyone, regardless of how long you’ve been panning! Those photos add up and can help you realize progress you might otherwise overlook.
  • 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.)

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014  fantastic job - so much pan already!

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thx you @caitbird . 🌹 I’m trying to pan as much as I can before buying more but that plan not working out very well. But I’m happy I’m panning some 🥰

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014  I am the same way - I have the best of intentions of using up most of what I have open before buying and trying anything new, but I am always tempted by new and exciting products. The struggle is real 😅

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014  Hey you are doing great 👍

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thx you @Cissy63 🌹

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Great progress @blackkitty2014!

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thx you @faeriegirl 🌹

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014 You’re doing awesome! I love your lip projects!

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thx you @missjeanie @lmaster 🌹

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

I'm so impressed!! Great job @blackkitty2014 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Wow @blackkitty2014 !!! What a progress. Yes, that TF is done and gone 😂😂 omg I just realized I also have that marc jacobs bronzer!!! I should include it in my next challenge.... 🤔 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thx you @jaaayp . That MJ bronzer is a good one 😘

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

I shall dig it up @blackkitty2014 🥰

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Brava @blackkitty2014! Look at all that pan. Your Tom Ford eye and face palette reminds me that I picked one up a couple of years ago with every intention of panning it and ... I'm pretty sure there wasn't even dents made in it. Need to work through some more of my makeup.

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thx you @itsfi . This TF palette is really old. It’s 1 of the 2 they first released in this format but it is my most used and most loved. 🥰 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014, I like a lot of his older stuff, makeup-wise, though I am looking forward to when his Cafe Rose collection makes its way to the US. Unless I missed it?

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

No you’re not @itsfi . Rumor said May. 😘

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014  Oh very nice!!  I am just rediscovering the MJ bronzer and have been using it consistently but not even a dent yet so I’m impressed. 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thx you @heartsmyface . I think MJ needs to bring back his beaute line. 😘

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014  He really does!!  Why’d he even stop it?  I loved the glosses, the bronzer the highlighters…(the nail polish needed work) The eyeliners were great until they weren’t… I LOVE the lipsticks!!!!  

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@blackkitty2014 You have done incredible! And those are gorgeous lip colors. So much pan already!
