Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Hello, BIC Beauties! If the idea of makeup capsules piques your curiosity, or you're interested in seeing what's in the beauty collection or weekly makeup bag of your fellow BIC beauties, jump right on in - with questions, comments or a capsule of your own to share.

To add a fun take on putting together a makeup capsule, I've included theme(s) for the weekly capsule - some weeks, I have enough products in my stash (eek!) to make a whole capsule based on the prompt; other weeks, I have just one or two items that fit neatly within theme.
 
Whether you find yourself in the same place or somewhere in between, jump right on it and share your weekly makeup capsule. Check out the FAQ section below ⤵️ for more info on this challenge.

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. 

 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Thank you. I definitely will! This is so fun 🙂 @itsfi 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

They way you talk about Makeup By Mario's brightening pencil, I wish I'd seen more from it when it was still around. Ahhh, we all read about so many loved products go the discontinued route but it does sound like it was a really good one. So many of them disappeared ones were. 💔

 

I think we all feel that way a little about our beloved capsule repeats 😉 I know I've felt like I've put a few (or more than a few 🙈) items in many times now, but they reappear for a good reason, we love them! 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Ahhh, I see a future capsule theme from your reply @CynthieLu 🤩 Will tag you when it hits the schedule. 

Yes, yes; there are just certain products that bear repeating. Capsule repeats speak volumes! I always love seeing what makes more than just a guest appearance in everyone’s capsules. 😍

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Oh my gosh, following the last capsule feels impossible. I'm still got my stars in my eyes from the layout, the photos and the pretty bag. 😍😉 But here we go!

 

This week I leaned into the BIC Inspired Theme. It really is one I love. 💖 I have found and learned so much from this community over the years and it shows throughout my entire collection.

 

The products I chose this week are:

Natasha Denona's Retro Palette was my *first ever* ND palette. It was the whole BIC that put this brand on my radar, I never heard or knew of her before. The ND available locally was practically non existent at the time. ( completely non existent now 😅) The What are you wearing today Pt2 thread showcasing everyone using her palette's was a huge motivation.

You are all an inspiration to me in so many ways. 💖🙏 

Everything except the huge palette (😅😅) fit inside my chosen bag snuggly. I like these brand bags, they hold so much more than you'd think. Especially something like the Gucci Must, she's not small.

1000023926.jpg

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Beautiful capsule! I love how it encompasses your experience at BIC and what you found have worked for you. Truly beautiful reflection and thought of this capsule. Great photos too! Thanks for the descriptions these are always helpful in my learning experience. It’s so neat to see everything together 💕 @CynthieLu 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@CynthieLu, your capsule this week has so many pretties in it! I love that you're using  your first ever Natasha Denona palette - she makes such beautiful palettes! 😍 Speaking of the ND Retro Palette, I like that last photo of it - the light is hitting in such a way that it's casting onto it some taupe, grey, blue, dusty peach watercolor hues that with the beige of the palette cover gives this look that makes me think of a film camera pulling away/fading away, at the end of beach scene where the colors from surf, sand, and sun all sorta come together. 

 

lol, the Gucci mist is on the larger side, which given the amount of the product, is a good thing. I transfer some of the product into a travel size spritzer. It helps with fitting it into a bag and with not dropping it when pulling it out to use - I'm clumsy so these little adjustments help when a product will inevitable fall out from my bag or slip out of my hands and onto ... desk, floor, etc. 🤣

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

You made me smile at @itsfi lighting in our apartment is lacking. The light comes in the morning and only from one direction. I feel like if I don't take my pictures at a certain time of day it's just not the same once the natural light is gone. 😅 Thank you! 🙏

Ahhh Retro. I think she will always hold a special place in my collection. I remember how excited I was to use and experiment with this one, and I finally understood what everyone was talking about with the praise her formulas get.  They really are fantastic 😊 

 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@CynthieLu, I can relate about lighting being scarce. There was a long period where I would leave the house before the sun was out and got back home long after the sun had set. I will say that I learned how to take photos and set up my shots in a different way during that time - some good lessons and takeaways were had then. A ring light or the light from another phone can be helpful.

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

We'll I do happen to have a cute little ring light @itsfi I should utilize it more. 😅😉 That's a good idea.  I've never thought of another phone.  I just position myself around the lights of the house. Lol

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Exactly, on the ring light @CynthieLu 😉 

 

"I just position myself around the lights of the house" - nothing wrong with that at all. It's what I did; still do, in fact. 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Week 37 - The Runway Inspired Makeup Capsule

37 - Runway Inspired.jpg

For this week, I'm going with a runway-inspired look, with some BIC-inspired beauties added into the mix to help me feel more at home. The focus will be on terracotta-hued blush, and more low-key but still radiant makeup a la a few of the early shows for the spring/summer 2025 collections at New York Fashion Week.

 
The layout of my photos of this week's capsule was also inspired by the runway / fashion week prompt. I started using magazines as props about 3, maybe 4, years ago and have done something similar (a "Take 2" 🎬) every year since. I thought it would be fitting to go that route this week and voila ❣️
 
Product Details:
Spoiler
COMPLEXION:
🐐  Foundation: My base will be a custom mix of Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation, Urban Decay Face Bond Self Setting Waterproof Foundation and Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi™ Bronzing Drops with Peptides. This combination has worked well for me this summer, giving me a good radiant(Tower 28) and velvety smooth (Urban Decay) complexion, with a soft, casual, glowy warmth (Drunk Elephant)
 Setting Powder: The Urban Decay is self-setting but just in case, I'll add a light dusting of the SEPHORA COLLECTION Translucent Loose Setting Powder (gratis) which I'm currently trying to use up - there's a lot, and I mean, A LOT, of product in this jar. I may bring in ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Mini On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray 1 oz/ 46 mL if temperatures heat up here this week. 
 
EYES: 
🌺 Primer: Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigment - Nudes Collection (this sample pack I received as part of Sephoria 2023: NYC)
👁 Eyeshadow: Natasha Denona Biba Palette (@pan it! challenge - I'm determined to hit pan on one remaining matte shadow (prairie) and fully pan an shimmer shadow (rustic) so I've been trying to incorporate his palette one way or another into my eye looks, so here we are.
😘 Eye liner (waterline): The since discontinued Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Brightening Pencil - Light I has been a mainstay in my makeup capsules this year. A quick swipe along my lower lash line and my entire face opens up! What's not to love about that?! I don't foresee myself going through this pencil anytime soon, but I feel the need to say, "Please bring it back, Mario; pleeeaaase!!"
💗 Eyelash curler: Tower 28 Beauty 
💎 Mascara: Tower 28 Beauty Mini MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet has so far been the only non-waterproof mascara that I've reached for frequently - it does smudge a bit after a long, warm day but I'm impressed
 
CHEEKS:
🏵 Blush: Okay, I had to dig deeep into my bin for something that resembled a terracotta tinted blush, but I found the Canmake Cream Blush 16 Almond Terracotta. Not gonna lie, the idea of terracotta hued cheeks is making me a bit anxious - it's outside my comfort zone, so I'm hoping the more muted leanings of Asian beauty brands like Canmake, a Japanese brand, will mean this Almond Terracotta shade is more toned down than some of the shades put out by US or European brands. If it is still outside of what I'm comfortable with, I'll mix it with Canmake Cream Blush 19 Cinnamon Milk Tea, to soften the red in the Almond Terracotta blush. 
 
LIPS: 
💋 Lipstick:  Westman Atelier Lip Suede Lipstick Palette Les Nudes  has been a surprise hit for me this year. I've really been reaching for it more and more this year. I have the darkest two shades left and they should complement the terracotta blush and slightly bronzed face very nicely.
The "Fits": 
Also in keeping with the runway or fashion week theme, we've got to have complementary accessories, right?!!!  I'm going with the Merit x Proenza Schouler bag 👝 to hold all the beauties that make up this week's makeup capsule. 😉
37 - Runway Inspired Fits 1.jpg
This bag holds so much ... 😍
37 - Runway Inspired Fits 2.jpg
 
I had so much fun putting together this capsule and even more fun doing the whole photoshoot 📸 for it! Shout out to @Samtian  and A Year of Beauty- Photography Challenge- Year 2 for tips, tricks and techniques that I still refer back to and work on from time to time, to this day! Photography is my "whenever-I-get-the-opportunity" hobby and that thread really gave me an amazing and amazingly insightful playground to learn and play. And, a huge shout out to samtian & @fatimamummy for providing such thoughtful comments and constructive feedback and help. 😘

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

I'm in awe too @itsfi these photos are giving high fashion! 📷👌😍 Absolutely beautiful photos and array of products for your Runway Inspired Capsule. *Claps enthusiasticly*

Your makeup bag thou, that's a beauty!  

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@CynthieLu, thank you; that's nice of you to say. Taking photos is a hobby and can be a nice way for me to try my hand at being a little more creative. I got all excited with Fashion Week and didn't edit or pare down my layout; it was fun though, especially to go back and do a similar set up or vibe as before.

 

I don't typically stay up or set an alarm anymore for when a product releases or becomes available - age and time have made FOMO less of a motivator when it comes to most beauty or fashion items, but I remember when this collab came out; I was definitely tuned in to when it would become available. 😅

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

AHHHHH, the bag 😍🥰 @itsfi 

 

Don't fear the terracotta!  All your picks sound harmonious.

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Ahhhhhhh, I do love me a pretty bag 👛 or shoe 👠 or … it’s good I have soooome restraint; at least that is what I tell myself, @danielledanielle. 😝 This one was a gwp so it felt like I was able to get a great looking bag and good makeup. Ohhh, what my collection would look like if I wasn’t able to justify my purchases like I do. 🤪 Did I forget to mention that the bag is reversible? So, two bags in one. More functionality, bang for my buck. 😅 

 

I am going to give terracotta blush the good ol’ college try, but I do have a plan B and plan C in place for turning the cream brush to blonzer or blushlights if I’m scared off by its warmth and orange-red hue. 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Absolutley beautiful capsule, I love every detail, the magazine, photos, product holders, and products are top notch! Your capsules are so well crafted. Currently in awe 🤩 💄 ❤️ @itsfi 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Awww, thank you @peculiarzmakeup, that's very kind of you to say. I've had a blast seeing what everyone puts together for their capsules and hearing why they chose certain products. I have a good amount of products and I've really enjoyed being able to use what I have and to figure out what are the keepers in my collection and which may be better off in another home.

 

I'm not sure how I'll warm up 😉 to terracotta hued cheeks, but I'm up for giving it a try. 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@itsfi Hey those look amazing!!!! You've progressed so much, it's been fantastic to watch. Fun theme this week too!

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Thanks @Samtian! I was looking back at some of my very first posts and photos, and how my set ups and shots have changed over the years. It's been nice to have some more formal techniques to incorporate now and again into what just comes to my mind. Also good to see what comes more naturally to me and what takes more effort.

Everything with an * is a absolute worker, top of the top, employee of the month 😂 type product, def GOATs.  Fire opal for meh on its own, meh, but as a topper for eyes, lips and face, it's boss.  Should add it to the Day To Evening Makeup 💄 thread.

 

@peculiarzmakeupalso knows the power of Groundwerk 😉Contour Brow Pomade Eyeshadow Lip liner .  The only thing. It that doesn't perform well for me are liner and lip color, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work for others.  Brush types are really key here, I actually used a few concealer brushes for application of the putty as shadows and pointed, fine tip liner pencils from elf and Anastasia Beverly Hills Tapered Lip and Liner Brush #3 and Anastasia Beverly Hills Dual-Ended Filling and Detailing Eyebrow Brush #14 

 

The Sunstalk'r palette... They should've made this permanent.  I balked at this at first, but it's a great warm/neutral for medium olive folks.  I got really nice contoured eye looks out of it, plus I used Bakin cakez to blend/diffuse the

crease color.

 

This was a fun week.  I keep recycling products from previous weeks into a current week for ease, but then new stuff gets added.  I feel like a lot of my makeup gets used, even though I don't use every item each week.  They just kind of rotate themselves around  🤷🏽‍♀️

 

I actually spent week 35 just playing a lot with lip colors combos with the Battle of Browns.

 

Oh yeah, the fit

She did her best

 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Ohhhkay, we have to talk about Skindinavia before anything else - the best?!! You like it more than ONE/SIZE mystifying (eta mattifying (darn you autocorrect!)) mist, @danielledanielle? It (the bridal version) was my intro to makeup setting sprays. 

Oooouh, I keep meaning to pull my full size Fenty tinted moisturizer into my capsules whenever I see yours in one. Too many skin tints/tinted moisturizers - this was never a problem in years past. I’m really happy there’s so many good ones out there but ugh, having just this one face makes it really hard to use all of them. 😝 btw, I want Flaunty Auntie just for the name.
