CURRENT MAKEUP CAPSULE THEME:
Upcoming Makeup Capsule Themes: [Updated 11.21.2024] Take a sneak peek at the weekly themes to come.

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.
Bummer @danielledanielle . I hope it was just an unlucky coincidence and not the products!
Week 46 - The "Time Capsule" Makeup Capsule
I approached this week's capsule as if putting together my ultimate makeup capsule collection (or of products that would be part of it), though I pared it down to a more manageable set for this week. 👍
DIOR Capture Dreamskin 1-Minute Mask 2.5 oz / 75 mL
Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica
SEPHORA COLLECTION Microsmooth Multi-Tasking Baked Face Powder Foundation
Glossier Boy Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel-Pomade
Ami Colé Desert Date Cream Blush & Lip Multistick Hibiscus
DIOR Forever 24H Skin Contour Stick Sculpting and Bronzing Face Stick
SEPHORA COLLECTION Cream Lip Stain 10HR Liquid Lipstick 80 Honeymoon
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain Delight
Thank you so much @peculiarzmakeup for this fabulous and novel theme for this week's makeup capsule. All the beauties here are phenomenal and would have a place in a time capsule as well as my ultimate makeup capsule collection.
Love this ❤️ your capsule is so well constructed I love the elements of time and the appreciation of its flow loved reading your product perspectives and amazing fit! @itsfi Beautiful as always!
Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! This was such a fun prompt 💗 and a good opportunity to think about what items I'd want preserved if I could.
I want that baaaaaaaagggg. @itsfi
I feel like all of your items have been on a list, like "10 things to get at Sephora sale" or "my HGs this fall". Still don't know why Rhode isn't at Sephora. I think it would do well here.
@danielledanielle, I don’t recall where I picked up this bag but I wish I had more. If they’re on those lists, I’m glad I have them already so they don’t go OOS. 😝
You know I’d be happy to see Rhode in Sephora. ♥️ It could be a very successful partnership for both. It will be interesting to see when (or if, though I think it’s more of a when) Rhode decides to go from direct to consumer to the retail sector. Hard to imagine Hailey Bieber and her team not having already had conversations with prospective retail partners or thought about what that means or what they might need/want in order to make that a reality.
Week 45 - The Sweater Weather Makeup Capsule In Review
For the most part, the products from this week's capsule performed well, but there are no additional items to be added to the Top Shelf. There are a few items that I'm on the fence about and some that will be passed on, less so because of deficiencies in performance and more because I have plenty of that particular type of product that stands out more than the one from this week's capsule.
I like the coverage of Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Universal enough to look into the tinted versions, but I have mixed feelings about its performance as a primer. I prefer applying this with a brush rather than my fingers. It does a nice job of blurring the appearance of pores on my skin but it also seemed to separate on certain parts of my face. I need to play with this one a little while longer.
My summer "tan" is almost completed faded; maybe another couple of weeks. I'll revisit a shade match of the PATRICK TA Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation For Natural Glow then - for now, it seems like I've narrowed it down to either 8 Golden or 10 Neutral. This isn't one I need so I'm not feeling pressed to figure out a shade match before the sale ends.
Jack Black NightMode™ Lip Treatment 0.25 oz / 7 mL takes a lot of effort to get the product out of the tube. I'm going to take a pair of scissors to this one and transfer the product into a travel size jar. If it gets a good deal of use, I'll keep my back up of this one; if not, the second tube will be donated.
💝 The cooling feeling of the Touch In Sol Pretty Filter Icy Sherbet Primer is nice and I can it being a plus in the warmer seasons, but I'm not so sure that's enough to make this silicone-based primer standout among my other primers to keep it around until then to test out that theory. This is being donated.
💝 SEPHORA COLLECTION Sephora Colorful® Eyeshadow 218 Shock Choc is a gorgeous shade swatched - it's a near perfect shade in my opinion but the fallout and color when applied to my lids (even with a primer) isn't great. This too will be donated.
🥊 GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Line It Up Clean 24-Hr Gel Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner will, after much debate with myself, go back into the stash for a future battle.
That's 2 decluttered items for this week and for the month so far.
Battle of the red lips will continue over the long weekend. I'm making my way through the remaining ones at a pretty good clip and making decisions about most of them fairly quickly, too. Should have an update after the holiday weekend and will post results to the Beauty Product Battles, Throw Downs and Showdowns thread.
I love the review aspect of this capsule, loved reading your assessment of what worked throughout the week! And I was just listening to the song sweater weather but I forgot who it’s by it’s very catchy! Love this your thoughtfulness is so appreciated, I was wondering how the blurring balm is interesting thoughts ❤️ @itsfi
Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! The DM blurring balm has been interesting. I really like that it is not drying on my skin and it does a nice job of blurring. I’m adding the tinted version to my list of things to consider for next year. Yes, next year. After this past wave of sales, I’m trying to be very selective about what I purchase - not sure how that plan will work out with the year end sales that will come! 😆
@itsfi Great job!! Hmm too bad about the SC colour not playing well. And the JB lip treatment. Urg. Working to get it out is a pain!
@ather, lol, my thumb gets a work out trying to get the balm out of that tube! 😅

The Fit
Where are we at now?
Week 41, Dynamic Duos
I don't remember the inspo, but it was lip combo heavy. After reading the prompt 🤦🏽♀️, this explains the lip combos. I think I used 2/3 of the lip combos. This was also another Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork: Defining Neutrals - Palette For Eyes, Brows, Face & Lips week, but I also wanted to play with Danessa Myricks Beauty LIGHTWORK VI The Freedom Palette: Magnetic, Customizable, Stackable Palette w... , so it was a natural pairing.
This was the week where I realized the DIOR Forever Skin Perfect 24H Multi-Use Foundation Stick breaks me out 😭😭
The Fit
This poor bag 🤣
Made it work, though
Week 40????
Week 39... Sephoria!!! This was actually the start of it, getting my samples and minis in line. Not pictured, but I took Melt's Blueprint Stack, PMG mini palette (her first travel one where people whined about the packaging) and Kevyn Aucoin eye contour palette , 🤌🏽🤌🏽
Thank you, week 41 and 44 were a lot of fun @ather
Beautiful capsules! Loved seeing what’s included in each! It’s so neat to see how each theme brings different products and fits! Love them all! I agree with @makeitup305 it’s really cool to see them in a sequence I love the unique picks! Wonderful job! @danielledanielle
Great job capturing all your capsules @danielledanielle . It's neat to look back and see what you were choosing week to week.
@makeitup305, thanks. I enjoyed your travel glam& essentials.
Week 42 - The tarte items and SC palette bring back memories. Your "fits" are fab! Is that Fenty Hollagram gloss I spy?! More memories. Goods one to be thankful for.
@itsfiThank you! I'm super proud to have finished two complexion products, the other is the Hourglass Mini Ambient® Lighting Powder Radiant Light , Hourglass Mini Ambient® Lighting Powder Luminous Lightwhich is showing godet. I feel like I should get another, but I know I don't need it because that took years to get to do, and it's a mini. What to do? What to do?
🤔🙃🛒🤸🏽♀️
The face off was fun, I ended up pairing those palettes together and getting some decent looks. The ABH golds are losing some oomph, but everything else still performed well.
It took you years to finish the Hourglass?!!! Hmmm.... 🤔 I was thinking about adding my mini Dim Light to next year's pan it! challenge. I wasn't expecting to finish in a year but years, you say @danielledanielle? Going to have to think through how many loooooong term projects like that I want to have for next year's group. 🤣
Maybe a year with concurrent use? @itsfi This and a Laura Mercier Candlelight were in play at the same time, then forgotten about, then unearthed again and so on
