FAQs: [Updated 4.28.2024]
What is a capsule makeup collection?
A capsule makeup collection is a selection of makeup products that can be used to put together different looks for a variety of occasions. For some of us, that may mean a group of essential products for your everyday look plus a few extra items for a more glam or dramatic look; and, for others of us, that may mean, a lineup of our holy grail product(s) in each makeup category. My ideal capsule makeup collection probably falls somewhere in between - we'll (hopefully) find out at the end of the year! I don't see myself as a minimalist, but I don't have an extensive collection of makeup either. I appreciate the collections of people who fall within both camps but I float somewhere in between - on the one hand, my brow product collection would earn a gold star if we were using a minimalist approach to makeup; my lip product lineup, on the other hand, would not. 🤣 It would most definitely not.
Why have a capsule makeup collection?
Everyone will have their own reasons for having (or not having) a more streamlined makeup collection. Over the years, I've just become more interested in having less beauty products on hand (well, except for lip products, lol) - a handful of items I use or reach for more frequently with maybe a few additional products that are go-to's for me for special events or occasions. Don't get me wrong, I love trying new products and I don't see that changing. I just like the idea of having a simpler collection (I appreciate that "simpler" can be relative), curated to my needs and lifestyle.
Why weekly?
A few years ago, beauty & lifestyle blogger Serein Wu, did a weekly series (on her blog and YouTube channel), Makeup Bag Monday, where she rotated her makeup bag each week with new product launches and makeup already in her collection. Every Monday, she shared the products she selected for the upcoming week and provided detailed makeup reviews on the makeup she used for the previous week. I may not post detailed reviews, but will at least try to include a weekly recap (probably at the end of the week) of what products I like and which ones didn't work for me. If weekly works for you, great. If not, feel free to join in based on what works best for you.
What if I don't have enough products to fit the theme for a full face?
No need for your entire makeup capsule to fit the weekly theme(s). Just one will do. And, even if you don't have one that fits squarely within a theme, feel free to post your makeup capsule. We'd love to see what you're using and hear your feedback on the products as you put them to use.
@itsfi In a row!!! My husband has taken some time off work so weve been able to get some sleep!
oh my goodness!!! Gooood for you both @cianni! 😍 I'm so happy to hear that and I can only imagine how thrilled you and your husband were to get that time. So happy for you. Sleep becomes so much more meaningful after you experience being without it.
@cianni Those are great choices! My wife has Black Honey too! (I’ve yet to swipe it so I can try it for myself…)
@JoSometimes it’ll look stunning on you!
Great choices @cianni I used to go through tubes of the Clinque Black Honey in high school... I remember someone telling me a few years ago that they got this hot new lipstick.... lol I almost cried that it went fully out and back into fashion again!
@missjeanie Yes! I remember “borrowing” my moms black honey before I was able to purchase my own 😅 it’s a classic for a reason!
Week 2 - The Quick & Easy Winter Edition
Since it’s all about hydration this week, I decided to focus more on cream products and primers. Since I have dry skin, I choose my makeup with hydration or at least non-drying ingredients in mind anyway. I will probably shuffle my lippies and eyeshadow around based on what I’m wearing and how I’m feeling that day.
@JoSometimes Excellent picks for winter hydration. I also choose my lip product based on how I feel/outfit.
Thank you @Mellmars1185! my skin would hate me if I picked anything else. 😅
@JoSometimes You know a product is made for us dry skin kids when it says skin quench right in the name!
You know it @missjeanie! Another one that gets me excited is “talc-free”
@itsfi love this idea! I'm doing something similarish, but what I do goes by palette not week, so I'll post after each palette ETA: I realized I do switch up other products more often, so I'll post those all well 🙌
Right now I'm working through the NATASHA DENONA Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette 0.67 oz/ 19.25g

@lmaster Great picks! The ND sunrise palette is beautiful. The Benefit mascara is very Lengthening. I need to try that one out again soon.
@lmaster, what a pretty makeup capsule; and what a fab idea for working through your palette collection. The colors in ND Sunrise are so vibrant! 😃
Good idea @lmaster! I have some pairings in mind for my palettes too. The one I need a blush for is my ND Retro palette.
@JoSometimes can't wait to see what you choose! Thank you
@lmaster What a great way to make use of your palettes! Great combo of products as well!
Thank you dearly! @missjeanie it's a way like @itsfi explains, to see if it's worth holding onto. If the shadows are too hard to work with, I'm not keeping them. So far the only palette I've parted with is the Too faced chocolate gold palette. There was no justification for me, not even the packaging. The shadows did not age well
@lmaster great progress already, and i love the products you chose! How do you like the Glossier Futuredew Facial Oil-Serum Hybrid 1 oz / 30 mL ? It’s been in my loves for a while as something i really want to try
