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 @danielledanielle Stick week.... I'm thinking of ideas already!
Stick week! Stick week! Stick week! @itsfi @missjeanie
It will be done @danielledanielle @missjeanie
*Screams in Fenty and Nars Shadowstix* @itsfi @missjeanie
That's got to be some of the most beautiful screams @danielledanielle @missjeanie.
@itsfi @danielledanielle Here I was thinking I need the new shade of the Ami Colé Desert Date Cream Blush & Lip Multistick before stick week!
@missjeanie... The point multipler ends tonight, so like maybe you do?🤣
You know, when I saw the new shade released, I did think of the both of you @missjeanie @danielledanielle. And, I mean, points multiplier - how great with that be. Win, win! 😁
@itsfi @danielledanielle I didn't notice the multiplier... but I'm still interested. I'm hoping to hit up a Sephora in real life next weekend so I'll hold out to see if it's there!
You are so good at rehoming your stash @itsfi amazing work this week! We can see the effort you put in to try and make products work, but I find letting go is the hardest part and really admire seeing your progress each week. Thank you for sharing!
@CynthieLu, thank you. It’s been a fun (and productive) adventure. 👍🏼
You inspired me @itsfi I had the day off today so I did a lot of over due house cleaning. But I took the time to make a package of lightly used products that aren't getting the love they deserve with me, I'm going to try to find them a rehome. Thank you for the motivation. 🙏
The only items I am not ready to drive into sorting out are my eyeshadows. 🫣 I'm just definitely not ready for that at this point in time.
@CynthieLu, sounds like a productive day off. It feels good to have the house all cleaned. Lol, we all have those products that we’re attached to, that are more challenging to declutter and pass along.
@itsfi Great capsule!! I love that you have so much makeup by Mario! You did a great job decluttering and rehousing products! Good for you! On to better products!!
@ather, it’s funny (read: eye opening!!!) how many brands I have in my stash that I can do a full (or close to full) face with. Some I knew that to be the case; others were a surprise. It’s so easy to accumulate but takes a while to use up. 😆 I am reminded though that I should use what I have when I pick it up or near that time.
There are some products that I look at and as I use them now; it occurs to me that it would have been better or best suited for me to use around the time I purchased the product (because of my skin type, color, needs, etc). Lesson learned and one I’m hoping I can remember to put into practice with current and future purchase.

I was going to do this all Ami Colé, but then I got to thinking ...I had too many ideas and double duty items. I really could've paired this down, but eh ... We love options!

The fit
Almost! To be fair, I was asking a lot...
Week 23 recap.
I started out strong, then my eye decided to get inflamed. I wanted to do a pride look midweek, but had to relent. Did get a lot of use out of highlighters, so half of my picks were loved. Love is love!
I think it's magical you got it all in the bag, @danielledanielle how satisfying is that! 👌🤩 I find that part a really enjoyable part of this capsule. Like the first fun part is picking it all out and then trying to arrange it all inside.😄
I do the same thing I think @itsfi said, I went through everything you picked and admired your choices. I haven't brought myself to pick up D'ior's liquid highlighter but I really love the sound of it.
I think they're pretty good. They aren't troublesome to blend, and the finish on them is nice. I think I would love to add DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter 013 Gold , but I think I can dupe it with my stash. DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter 017 Nude is the one that gets used a lot at the moment because it basically blends with anything.
@danielledanielle This looks like a fantastic capsule!
@danielledanielle, ugh, so sorry to hear about the eye. I say treat yourself to ice cream. It makes everything better. You know, you could still do a pride look - anytime, also the last week of the month has an "on repeat" component - a "Do Over" / "Take 2" theme, if you will. Juuuust sayin' ...
I'm going over your capsule list and have found myself saying on multiple occasions "oh, yeah... that's a good one" or "I should grab that one to use". Interested in your thoughts on the Ami Cole lip liner!
I can and might @itsfi . Some of the resistance is the lack of sheer will to go through everything, pick out, edit myself and then put everything back 🤣.
And funny you mention ice cream. Unrelated to my eye, I went and made good on my resolution to have a cone. Now, I have to go back and get one for my eye.
R/t liner - Will do
