CURRENT MAKEUP CAPSULE THEME:
WEEK 35 (August 26 - September 1) - The August 2024 Throw Down!, Throwback, and/or Throw Out? Makeup Capsule - In a nod to @danielledanielle's always amazing alliteration acumen 😉, @cianni's brilliant idea for a chopping block capsule, @missjeanie's throwback suggestion, and @ather's inspired battle theme, here are your choices for capsule prompts for the last week of August 2024 -
* Throw Down! Are there a couple (or more) similar products that you want to pit against each other? Toss 'em in with your choice of makeup this week to duke it out. 🥊
* Throwback - okay, this can be taken a few ways and it's all up to what you're up for this week. "Throwback" can mean (A) taking your capsule look (in whole or part) to days gone by - love the bright bold makeup of the 80s? Go for it. 90s brown lip liner your thing? Add it to your capsule. Blue eyeshadow and frosty lips from the aughts (2000s) more your speed? You do you. Or, maybe "throwback" for you means (B) going back to a previous theme from this challenge, whether all the way back to January or just last week. Here's another chance for a Take 2 / Do Over capsule.
* Throw Out? - Is there a product or two or three or ... that you're on the fence about. Taking an approach from @cianni, put 'em on the chopping block this week to see whether their performance saves them from elimination or shows them the door.
Upcoming Makeup Capsule Themes: [Updated 8.26.2024] Take a sneak peek at the themes to come.
Week 37 - (September 9 - 15) - The Runway Inspired Makeup Capsule and/or The "BIC Inspired" Makeup Capsule - New York Fashion Week is taking place September 6-11; show us the beauties that make up your runway inspired capsule. (I had fun with the play on The Met Gala theme earlier this year and thought, why not add NY Fashion Week to the mix, as well. Attendance at NYFW may be something I should add to my list of things to do, @danielledanielle!) OR, put together a capsule with one or more products inspired by your fellow BIC beauties - this theme, I know is a favorite among many, including @CynthieLu and @Mellmars1185.
Week 38 - (September 16 - 22) - The LatinX Founded / Owned Beauty Brands Makeup Capsule - LatinX Heritage Month is celebrated annually in the US from September 15 to October 15. As one way to recognize the contributions and influence of Hispanic and Latin Americans in the beauty industry, let's put together a capsule that includes one or more products from a LatinX owned or founded beauty brand. See spoiler below for a non-exhaustive list.

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.
This community has shared the best makeup and skin care recs imo. 🙏❤️ I love living vicariously through your haulin' 😊 @WinglessOne
Awww, thank you @CynthieLu . Great picks, add I do associate you with Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed - Matte Color for Cheek & Lip
Awwww, I do use them pretty frequently. 😉 @danielledanielle (I put them on my year end faves list too. 🏆) I love the products that last all day. 💖
@CynthieLu Amazing capsule. It is heart warming to hear how BIC has influenced you over the years and how your makeup collection had grown.
Thank you! @Mellmars1185 I think this week's will be another fun one too use 😉🩷
@CynthieLu, wonderful choices. The bag has such a fun print. The Rare Beauty highlighters always sell out quickly. Hourglass knows how to do a holiday palette! They’re hits year after year.
Thank you 😊 That bag I believe was an old Estee Lauder GWP bag. @itsfi I love how handy those little things come in. 🩷😉
Week 7 -- Lunar New Year and Things I LOVE
Okay so I don't have any actual Lunar New Year Products, but I went for the Red/Gold theme and the LOVE theme mixed together. I took this week as a bit of a personal challange to wear red lips everyday. It went better than I thought it would! But I for sure have preferences with formula! Red looks awful when it bleeds!
@missjeanie Great picks!! I am obsessed with those Ami Cole glosses!
@ather @Aren’t they just the best!! I was blown away with how much I’ve fallen for the formula!
@missjeanie so good! It’s in my capsule this week too!
Wow pretty pictures @missjeanie I spy so many great items in your capsule, especially the Givenchy powder and the DM Colorfix.
@AznAngelLiz The Givenchy is just so lovely. I’ve been forcing myself to get use out of other powders always wanting to reach for this one. The DM is also so much more versatile than I thought it would be! I thought it would be a lip product for me, but I’m loving it most as a blush!
I love your capsule photos, the heart is a sweet touch 💝😍 @missjeanie You beautifully curated this one, wow!
And the flower on the Givenchy Powder is stunning, it's in perfect shape 🤩 how did they do that? I love fancy touches like that. 😉
@missjeanie, I love seeing your capsules. We’ll all have different sizes when it comes to our capsules and what our ideal collection will look like. Part of this adventure is finding what is a good collection for you.
I spy some beauties I love also in this week’s capsule - the NARS primer is a go to for me; I feel like every other eye primer I use or have used (including for this challenge) is just auditioning to be its understudy. 😆 Loooove those 2 Ami Cole lip oils! 🩷♥️
Oh, I’ll be very interested to hear your thoughts on the about face products at the end of the week.I’ve had my eye on a few items from the brand, including that new foundation (even though ummm, my stash is hardly lacking in foundations I already love).
P.S. Yaaaay for a declutter this week! 🙌🏼
P.P.S. Do you think for the Chanel lip balm, it might work if you sliced off part of the balm and mixed it along with some clear lip balm, into an empty jar. Apply it with your fingers or a lip brush. The mix of the Chanel and some lip balm might diffuse the color a little and make it less drying on your lips.
Oh!! @itsfi I’d also considered doing a mix with the Chanel, but I fear I’d use a pot version even less.
Oh, that would defeat the purpose. Hmmm, I wonder how you might reach for the Chanel more @missjeanie?
@itsfi @I feel like we might need a ‘repurposed’ challenge week??? Products you’ve turned into something you didn’t originally intend them to be?? I might actually try it out as a blush!!
Oh, that's a good one @missjeanie! Taking notes ...
@itsfi I’ve been mixing the About Face foundation in here and there and the more I use it the more I like it. The doe foot applicator is kinda weird for me, simply because it doesn’t come in or out of the bottle as easily as I think it should. I’m the only one using my foundations so the idea of a doe foot doesn’t bother me. The foundation is best worn for me (so far anyhow) in a more sheer layer with hydrating, moisturizing, base products. It wears really nicely through the day, lasting about 8 hours without touch ups that way. The ‘paints’ I’ve been mixing and using as a one and done shadow look. I’ve only used them a few times but I can see how more creatives would love them. For me I suspect mixing is going to be too much work early in the mornings. I’m going to keep and eye for other shades though… I’m not done playing with these yet!
