Welcome to Year 7 of our Pan It! Challenge
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 arenโt making a dent in anything look back at those photos, Iโm certain youโll see some changes ๐ *this is the number one recommendation for everyone, regardless of how long youโve 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 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.)
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.)
Past Panning Challenges:
Purchased Tower 28 Beauty Sculptinoโข Soft Matte Cream Contour + Bronzer Hammer on Aug 13, 2023 according to my order history. This is its current state today. I love how it does doubly duty to contour and add warmth back into my face. This will definitely get repurchased once this one is all done.
