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

I am intrigued by this tread. I may lurk for awhile. Thanks for the tag

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@CorgiMommy I attempted this last year and it was really fun. And it helped me organize my stash and helped me be more thoughtful with my purchases. 😉 I didn't last the whole year truthfully but I'm going to go through my stash soon and pick some items that need using up. I recommend trying it out some time or just following along to watch everyone's progress. 🩷

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

The panning continues, yesssss❣️❣️❣️ Thank you @ElleElleG for hosting us for another year; congrats on this being  your 7th year!

 

Tagging @missjeanie @cianni @heavyhedon @BluePaisley @KeriCherryDee @caitbird @Mellmars1185 @Cissy63 @makeitup305 @faeriegirl @missaa8 @CookieGirl1 @Krismorganj @haleyvvvv @CynthieLu @ather I think that’s everyone who posted to last year’s thread with updates or pan items.

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@itsfi I’m so ready for this year!!💪

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Yes @cianni! We got this! 👊

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@itsfi woohoo!  Let's keep this panning party GOING! 🎉

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@CookieGirl1, it’ll be great to see what items you and others will work on panning this year.

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@itsfi you killed it last year with your progress!  Can you beat that this year? 😉

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@CookieGirl1, we’ll find out at the end of the year. It’s a new mix of products so it’s not so much a question of beating last year’s numbers as it is working towards this year’s objectives. 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Thanks for the tags, @itsfi @CynthieLu !! I need to finalize my 2023 pan progress and pick my items for 2024, but I will be joining!! 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@haleyvvvv, excited to see your pan results for last year, and what you’ll be working on this year! 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@itsfi  I appreciate the reminder about this challenge.  After looking through my products I will decide what ones I want to include for this year! Thank you!

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

Yaaaaay, so happy you’ll be taking part in the challenge again @Cissy63! 😃 Looking forward to seeing what products you’ll be including in this year’s challenge! 

Re: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

@ElleElleG Woooo can't wait!
