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.
So... I'm not a six product kinda gal... Nor am I a 5 minute or less face gal... I think I get ready pretty fast, but I'm doing a bunch stuff all at once when I'm getting ready. That said... I was willing to try downsizing.
I started out with everything below except the OH Colour Corrector. After day 1... it got added in. I think what I learned this week is that I'm not a minimal gal. And that's okay. My makeup day will pretty much always have a full face in it.
@missjeanie I appreciate your honesty on this theme. I feel the same. I think for me I enjoy taking my time to get ready in the morning. Although, this morning I forgot to change my alarm and I had 15 min total to do everything before running out the door. Do you find the Olehenriksen formula layers well under concealer better than liquid formulas? I revisited NARS Radiant Creamy Liquid Color Corrector Light and the Fenty one and I found it creased under Concealer. Any tips or tricks? I know you are a colour Corrector fan.
@Mellmars1185 I've been using the OH correctors this week and have found they work well for me with all of the different concealers I use. I haven't tried the Nars corrector. I do have the Fenty and I have to say, it's not a favourite. I find the Fenty one is too thin and doesn't sink in to my skin well. It's also possible that I'm not leaving it to sink in long enough with the amount that I'm putting on to make up for the lighter pigmentation?
I think my all time favourite was an older Urban Decay naked one that was discontinued years ago. Current favourite... the Kaja Cat Nap Under Eye Brightener Peach-Tone Brightener . I'm curious to try the HUDA BEAUTY #FAUXFILTER Under Eye Color Corrector Peach this sale though.
Do you have one you like better than others?
@missjeanie Ohh thanks for sharing. I had the Huda colour corrector in my cart, but I have 3 open right now. I do like the Nars better than the Fenty. However I do find them both thin and don't wear well on me throughout the day...even after setting with powder.. i stopped using the Olehenriksen because I found it too dark. I also wasn't trying it with Concealer over top. I think I will try it with my HUDA BEAUTY #FauxFilter Matte Buildable Coverage Waterproof Concealer Coconut Flakes 2.7 Neutral and see how it wears. By the time I am done with my current CC's, hopefully there will be another sale ☺️
@Mellmars1185 Ah.... I always wear a concealer over the correctors. Though if I find juuuuust the right shade I can get away without it. I find the Bobbi Brown Under Eye Corrector is one of those for me. Do you like the Huda concealer? I'm always curious about all the concealers!
@missjeanie I am still testing the Huda concealer. I like the formula. However, I was layering colour corrector underneath it and was noticing it creasing. I will test it out without in some different ways to get a better opinion on it. I will check out the BB
@missjeanie, I'm impressed that you gave the 6 products in 5 minutes or less a try - I know it's outside of your usual routine. Ahhhh, NARS Sheer Glow - that is such a beautiful foundation - that and their Radiant Longwear are ones I really like from the line; their tinted moisturizer too! This is the first I've heard of the brand Kokie. Which powders are on your "to try" list?
Oh, I have the new OH en route and am interested to see how it compares the banana shade.
Love your bunny family in the background! 🐇
@itsfi I think the Kokie powder came from Ipsy? I know I love my Givenchy and MUFE, but I've been hearing good things about the HUDA BEAUTY Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder Cupcake and I'm debating between that and the loose in either cupcake or the cherry blossom shades. I also feel like I need to finally cave and pick up the Kosas Cloud Set Baked Setting & Smoothing Talc-Free Vegan Powder Airy , I've seen so many recommendations over the last while and since it's not a brand new product... I'm thinking it must be good. I was contemplating the NARS Soft Matte Advanced Perfecting Powder ... but the reviews look mixed.
Any favourite bluring powders? I'm all ears!
@missjeanie, favorite blurring powders? 🤔 I like the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder, Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Finishing Powder and Hourglass Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder - Talc Free Translucent.
My favorites 🐐 are the blurring powders from Chantecaille and Sisley-Paris ♥️, the latter one does an amazing job of blurring when used under foundation - I know that sounds counterintuitive but it does work quite well with the right combinations.
@itsfi I'll have to add the Sisley to my list to try. I have the Chantecaille... I find that it makes my under eyes deeper after application. I'll try again this summer when I've been fake tanning. Might look a little better! But I have a few Sisley items that I wouldn't mind testing out. I'll have to delve down that rabbit hole some day soon.
Oh, I'll have to try the Chantecaille again and see if I get the same results. Definitely test out those Sisley beauties @missjeanie. Just a heads up, there will be a capsule theme later in the year focused on "Using the Good Stuff" - inspired by one of your New Year's resolutions.
@itsfi Yesssssss use the good stuff! I cracked into a good bottle of bubbly tonight for this exact reason... use it and enjoy it!
Heh heh @missjeanie , I'm still glad you thought about it and tried. Even I had to edit mine midweek with additions.
Funny you mention the Dior palette. I'm waiting for the crimson one to come back in stock...
We're so not minimalists 🤣
@danielledanielle I swear I was sweating one evening trying to figure out how to get it down to six products lol!! Nope... not a minimalist here. lol
Not all capsules or challenges are for everyone, I struggled with this one too @missjeanie. But you tried and that's awesome!
@CynthieLu Yes! I actually like a challenge that forces me to push myself a little, even if I find out that it's not for me... I tried!
@missjeanie I love that about the challenges too. It gets us out of our comfort zones and trying new things and new ideas.
Annnd even if I'm not fast, lol. I did learn alot and I enjoyed the fun of this one, like trying to beat my times. 😉⌚
@sister13 well said! and it was really fun too try to do this one.
Lol... my times are always pushed by my snooze button! @CynthieLu I like them too... pushing me to switch things up even just a little!
@CynthieLu and @missjeanie - I've found that I've learned something every challenge even if it doesn't end up being something I want to do or recreate again. And, most times, there's something I learned that has helped my skill in the long run. Great job and thanks for participating in the challenge!
@sister13 Agreed!! I think it's fun to stretch a bit every once and a while. i very easily get into a make up rut of just using the same things over and over again without thought behind it early in the morning. All the challenges are forcing me to break away from that, and for that I'm excited!
@missjeanie I'm with you on doing a full face. Even if I'm doing more minimal makeup, it's just lighter coverage products not necessarily less lol I feel like when I do less, my face looks out of balance, if that makes sense. I have so many gorgeous products I feel bad not using them lol
