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.
0 - 8.18 edit capsule post 1.jpg
0 - 8.18 edit capsule post 2.jpg
0 - 8.18 edit capsule post 4.jpg
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.

 

CURRENT MAKEUP CAPSULE THEME:   

Week 44 (October 28 - November 3) - The "Sleeper Hits" Makeup Capsule and/or The October 2024 Throw Down, Throwback, and/or Throw Out? Makeup Capsule - In honor of clocks "falling back" for Daylight Savings Time in the wee hours of the morning (2am) on Sunday, November 3 (except for those States and US territories that do not observe Daylight Savings Time), let's celebrate getting an extra hour of sleep by curating a capsule of the beauty products that were/are sleeping hits for you. 

"Sleeper hitscan mean -
  • A product in your makeup collection that has become a surprise hit for you
  • Something that wasn't a success on initial release (or on your first try) but became a well loved product for you over timer
  • The underrated beauties in your collection - could be a product or brand, or both
  • A makeup trend that you didn't think would work for you, but now you can't imagine being without

OR, create a capsule with one or more products that you want to go head-to-head with one another (throw down) or that waxes nostalgic over the look from another decade or a previous capsule (throwback) or that you think may be time to toss or declutter from your stash (throw out).

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

Ahhh, I hadn't even thought of the tie-in with the red - brilliant @ather! Having an extended time for these battles have been helpful and Canadian Thanksgiving to US Thaksgiving seems like a solid amount of time for it, too. Going forward, I'm going to try this more often - sometimes it'll just be two products battling it out during the week; other times, it'll be products throwing down for multiple weeks. The variety in terms of products and testing period will be good - it'll allow me to tailor it to what type of product I'm testing and the number of them. 

 

I'm hoping this battle of the reds 🥊💄 will be fruitful on multiple fronts - coming up with a red for the holidays, whittling down my collection, and just putting some of these lippies to use. For someone who doesn't wear reds often, I have a ... healthy ... amount of red lipsticks and I have had a hard time letting some go. I have 20 red hued items here - I haven't firmly set a number of products I'm hoping to declutter from here, but I've been considering maybe going with an 80/20 split as a general target - aim to destash 20% of the reds from this group, so 4 items 😲. I dunno, thinking aloud here, that seems like a lot, but I can try.  Wish me luck. 🤞

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@itsfi  such a pleasant coincidence with the red! Wow 4 is a huge number to declutter! I can’t wait to see this play out!! 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@itsfi Beautiful line up of reds! I beleive there was recently a challenge over on Re: Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022

for a red lip look. The M.A.C lippie is cute with the hearts on it! 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Oooh, thanks for tagging that thread @Mellmars1185. I'm bookmarking your post so I'll remember to go back and post to the thread. I love the MAC lipstick case -

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

That's a beautiful collection of reds 🍎 I'm eager to see which one of the pretties will be a keep or a pass. @itsfi 

 

Because you rarely purchase a red, I'm a little curious to know what ones you picked up yourself and what drew you to them. I feel like it had to be a special red you get you to take the purchase plunge. 💋

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Thank you @CynthieLu! I am thinking I might wear a red lippie for Christmas and New Year's Eve 🤔 so this little project will help me narrow it down and (hopefully) by then, be more comfortable with a red lipstick for the festivities. My backup will be Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil Romance if I am not feeling a red lipstick from this group. 

 

Ahhh, I will post more details on the reds in this group later this week - I have to think about how a couple of them came into my stash. Or, maybe there will be a section for "not sure how this made its way here" 😅

@itsfi I'm thankful for this thread and your recommendations, and thoughtful posts always. This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, you giving us a theme this coming week was really sweet and as is your style, very thoughtful. 🙏

 

Nude vs Nude

1000025538.jpg

The nude mini and full nude palette has no shade crossovers if anyone was curious. There are similarities for sure but no repeats. 

 

It's a busy turkey weekend here, if you are celebrating I hope you have a wonderful holiday and for the rest, have a fantastic weekend! 🧡🤎😘

 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Ahhh, I love this @CynthieLu - the makeup choices, that pretty background in your photo, the guest appearance by your kitty. You curated a lovely set of makeup - there's variety and it's streamlined - brava! 👏 Brava! 👏 It's hard to get that right mix - at least for me, it's a challenge to figure out. 

 

The Natasha Denona Nude vs. mini Nude is such a great pic, especially with your kitty giving some insight into the scale of both palettes. I have found it fascinating that she uses different shades in her mini palettes - it gives us even more beauties to play with.

 

That's impressive that you fit your capsule into that gorgeous sparkly bag - a thoughtful and beautiful gift! 

 

Hope you are having an amazing Thanksgiving weekend, with amazing company, delicious food, and memories to last a lifetime! 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Thank you kindly! @itsfi I felt like our fall festive little table runner would be a nice backdrop for the weekly theme. 

It looks just like outside too. 😉

1000025762.png

Thank you, we had a lot of family visits and big meals. I can't picture eating another morsel 😂

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Ahhh, the colors of fall! 😍 We don't really get traditional seasons here; it makes me love seeing photos like this even more. They're such beautiful colors - great inspiration for a makeup look. 

 

"I can't picture eating another morsel 😂"

 

That sounds like you did Thanksgiving right, @CynthieLu👊

 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@CynthieLu Happy Thanksgiving weekend! You have created a lovely capsule this week. I am not sure if I will make a capsule in time for Thanksgiving but I will join you in thanking @itsfi for creating this thread and putting in the time to create thoughtful, fun themes for everyone to participate in!

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@Mellmars1185, you can join in any time. Any. Time. The prompts are guidelines and if there's something that piques your interest after when it's been scheduled, we'll jump right on in with a throwback to it. That said, it's perfect timing for a Makeup I'm Grateful For capsule. @CynthieLu started us off with an execellent capule - so many beauties. I have no doubt she created a stunning look with them! Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you both. Hope you have been getting time to rest and to play! 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Thank you kindly @Mellmars1185. The theme is for this upcoming week, I just came in a touch early. It's been an busy weekend and I'm going to be in food comma now indefinitely. 😉

 

I was excited I had some fun new things to try this capsule and it fit right on the theme of things I'm thankful for. A certain someone shared a little Sephoria with me and I was so happy to include a few of those to explore. 🙏🩷 

 

 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@CynthieLu Ohhh exciting! I thought I was late. That means I will have some time today to put something together! I need this challenge more than ever with my collection. It is getting a bit out of control 😅

I am glad you got to enjoy a little bit of Sephoria 💖. Your comparison of the ND Nude full palette and mini is really neat. Good to know there are separate shades from the FS.

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

I was 💯 % early 😅😅 @Mellmars1185 

I love capsules the most for the tiny peak into other people's collections. I look forward to yours! 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Week 41 - The "Dynamic Duos (or Trios)" Makeup Capsule and/or The "Products with Interesting / Attention-Grabbing Names" Makeup Capsule

 

During the Makeup by Mario Masterclass at SEPHORiA, he mentioned (more than once!) that he loves to blend, mix colors to get a customized shade. I've done that primarily with my foundation or lip products but have decided to try it with other makeup products this month - even better that it goes with the one of the prompts for this week! 😊 

41 - Dynamic Duos.jpg

Spoiler
👍  Primer / Setting Spray - Something about pairing the gel-textured, hydrating and illuminating GUERLAIN Parure Gold 24K Radiance Primer 1.2 oz / 35 mL and the light and refreshing (and refreshingly scented) Dior Forever Perfect Fix Setting Mix just really works with my skin and makeup products. I've been using this pair off-and-on for the last 4-5 weeks and have been impressed with how it keeps my makeup in place, blurs and melds everything together. If this pairing is going to be for the long-term, it's not going to be very wallet-friendly. Though a little of both does go a long way, so there's that. 

🌻  Base - Mixing SEPHORA COLLECTION Reveal The Real 12HR Soft Radiant Skin Tint and the slightly-tacky-to-the-touch Victoria Beckham Beauty Priming Moisturizer - Golden has been a great way to add the extra bit of warmth and color I need to even my complexion. I've been happily surprised with how well the Sephora Collection Skin Tint has performed - it gives a soft radiance to the skin and does a pretty nice job of blurring as well. I go back and forth on the VBB priming moisturizer - it is more golden and warm than my skin tone, even when I've gotten a little sun, but I can make it work. I may try mixing it with other bronzing serums in my collection as we move into cooler weather (and whatever color I may have gotten this summer starts to fade). 

😍  Concealer - NARS Mini Radiant Creamy Concealer with Medium Coverage are oldies-but-goodies. Usually the shades NARS Mini Radiant Creamy Concealer with Medium Coverage Vanilla and NARS Mini Radiant Creamy Concealer with Medium Coverage Madeleine work for my under eyes and redness/dark spots, respectively. Right now, mixing them is good for my undereyes and mixing Madeleine with juuuuust a drop of VBB Golden can work for a couple of spots. I do use a setting powder (not shown) to set. 

👁  Eye shadow and Eye Liner - My priority for this month is to work through the last of my Natasha Denona Biba palette that I have as part of this year's Pan It! - 2024 Challenge - she packs a of product, I mean, A LOT, of palette, in each of her pans. Which is great for consumers. I have the teensiest bit of product left in the top and bottom right corners of the pan for the rustic shade - I've been mixing a bit of this shade and SEPHORA COLLECTION Translucent Loose Setting Powder (gratis) for my lids. Taking motivation from The Little Engine That Could, "I think I can, I think I can ..."  As for eyeliner, just the lower waterline, and going, once again, with Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Brightening Pencil  - Light 1 (discontinued).

❇️  Mascara - I know there are a few BIC beauties, including @Sunnysmom, who layer their mascara. I've only tried it occasionally, but thought this would be a good week to give it another go - I'll try mixing Tower 28 Beauty Mini MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet with either Ere Perez Natural Almond Mascara - Mauve or L'Oreal Paris Original Voluminou Mascara, Bulding Mascara Volume and Length Formul, Washable, Burgundy, for a little throw back to last week's Pop of Fall Colour theme.

🌺  Cheeks - Thanks to the cheek challanges, including the Cheek Challenge Fall 2024: Fall Flushing Forward - I've been incorporating more blushlight and blonzer in my makeup routine. This week, I've been going with  blush, bronzer and highlight all at once - I don't know what that would be @danielledanielle, blonze-lights? - mixing literally just a dot from the tip of the Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Mattes Waterpoof Matte Liquid Pigment Valentine, a bold, bright, pink with the warmer, terracotta hue of Canmake Cream Cheek 16 Almond Terracotta for my blush, #MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer® Light Medium for my bronzer, and a pair of Rare Beauty liquid highlighters in the shades Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight Mesmerize (gifted) and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Mini Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Enlighten - the warmth of Mesmerize and the coolness of Enlighten mixed together is lovely. 

💋 Lip Liner - LYS Beauty Speak Love Lip Liner Pencil Romantic, described as a classic red, shows up more of a deep pink (with slight red undertones) on my naturally more pigmented lips. It's a nice in between of pink and red that I quite like, and it complements the my lip pairing this week nicely.

💄  Lip Balm / Lipstick - tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm Rose is much more emollient than I sometime prefer; the LYS lip liner helps to keep it from smearing or running all over. It can also be too pink than I prefer. Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Kind Words Lip Liner Gifted (foil sample), described as a deep dusty plum, goes on as a deep oxblood hue on my lips. The pairing of the emoillient tarte and the matte Rare Beauty lippies helps to offset the finish/consistency and color of the two lippies to give me a fabulous neutral-toned fall lip color that is neither too heavy in consistency nor too dry in finish. I was inspired to reach for this RB sample after seeing our lovely @peculiarzmakeup discuss the other shade in the packet in the Love At First Sample!!! 🥰 thread. The Rare Beauty products are also my way of incorporating the "interesting / attention-grabbing" theme for the week, with "interesting" and "attention-grabbing" being lovely - the brand's naming covention for their products - using uplifting and positive words - is a beautiful touch. 

How does it all fit? Just fine, with even a little room to spare in this see-through makeup bag, which may have been part of a gwp a couple of years ago. This bag usually holds my liquids if I'm on a short 1-2 day trip and I don't feel the need for options (that does happen ... occasionally, ha!)

41 - Dynamic Duos 2.jpg

Right now, I don't foresee any declutters from this set of beauties, but it's still early in the week, so we shall see. The other shade of the Rare Beauty lipstick leans too warm for me on its own but seeing as how pairing the LYS liner and tarte balm has worked with the Gifted shade, I may try it with the other RB shade. Stay tuned.

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@itsfi Great capsule! I bet layering the burgundy mascara with the Tower 28 will look beautiful. Have fun blending and mixing these products together! I love your clear bag!

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

Thank you @Mellmars1185! Ever since we learned at the YSL booth at Sephoria NYC about applying color mascara to the tips of the lashes, I've been trying it every so often - that's been very helpful for going through product on my stash. And yes, it's been influential in a couple of color mascara purchases. 😂 Had to get the YSL blue. 😉

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

I love to layer and experiment with different mascaras @itsfi ! For natural, good coverage, more dramatic too! 

“Blonde-lights” is brilliant, great idea!😃 I love to mix highlighter and blush. Now I need to try and add bronzer in with it! The appeal of the clear bag is real! Love it! 💞

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@Sunnysmom, do you have a methodology to your mascara layering? Lengthening before volumizing? Or, drier formula before more wet formulations? Or vice versa? 

Re: Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

@itsfi definitely lighter, drier first and any that seem to have growth formulas. (Jury is still out on that but maybe a bit!) The first layer tends to be Ilia, By Terry or lately Lisa Eldridge which is a super nice fluffy formula not wet at all and so good. Did you try it? I was so happily surprised as I found VBB a bit too wet for me. The serious layers following have been using Iris & Romeo, Tarte, Nars red tube or Chanel but mainly Iris & Romeo. I just love it so much. What are your favs these days?
