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.
@itsfi I can't get over how beautiful your bag is for this week's theme. It sounds like the Estee Lauder Foundation literally lives up to it's name. This is good to know. I need a long wearing foundation for an upcoming event. Thank you for updating the March challenges! ❤️ I hope the storm wasn't too bad and you were safe and had a cozy Sunday.
I was surprised how well I liked the Estes Lauder @Mellmars1185. I feel like I’ve tried it in the past, when my skin was a lot more dry and it didn’t work so well on me. Not sure if it’s because my skin has changed or if my skin prep routine just really worked with this one, or if it’s been reformulation, or all of the above, but the EL not just held on all day but it looked good! Curious to know, what long wearing foundations have you used in the past, or are you currently using?
@itsfi That is awesome. Tbh, I am not sure I have used one. In my stash I have the Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation waiting to be used.
@Mellmars1185, I do like that Dior Face & Body. They reformulated that line but I haven’t had a chance to try the new F&B; it’s on my list though. Will be interested to hear your thoughts on it after you’ve had some time to put it to use.
Oooh I see the March add-ons @itsfi they look fun!
Thank you for continuing this thread! 🙏🩷
I've been enjoying seeing what everyone picks for these capsules. Seeing into someone else's make-up collection is a huge thrill! I'm looking forward too another month of this adventure. 😀
Oh my goodness, thank YOU for participating @CynthieLu, both in the capsule challenges themselves - love your comments to everyone and seeing your choices and looks you create (hoping BIC gets less glitchy soon and I can log on and stay on for longer periods of time to get to more threads - I got the “Oops! Something went wrong.” message twice while trying to upload a post yesterday and this morning.
(I've been following along about the glitch were all experiencing in the Beauty Insider Community Feedback thread. I get kicked out quite frequently but it's reassuring to know that Teambic is working on a fix and we're not the only experiencing it. 🩵)
I looove seeing everyone's take on your prompts @itsfi especially this one, BIC recommended is a big deal. 🤩 Cuz you know, it's good! 😉

-ND's gold baby and highlighting palette seemed like they could be fun too play around with for these LNY inspired looks.

GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Anaheim Line Clean Waterproof Lip Liner
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain Strawberry Sangria

Finally found the thread!! @CynthieLu @Lovely products
It's such a good thread! @idanyd hurray!! 🙌🎉
It's really fun to sort and put these capsules together, and use them too. 😉 I'd love to see you give it a try one of these weeks thou. Your products always look so good! 🤩
Join us @idanyd! We'd love to have you! 100% agree with @CynthieLu; you have some great looking beauty products!
@CynthieLu, I love how it all fits in the bag! 😍 Love the colors and palettes you chose for this week - lots of fun choices. Hourglass puts together some great palettes - I love their finishing powders - so beautiful! Ahhh, that ND Gold duo looks very pretty. I’m not always into golds but they look very wearable - and I see some dips in both shades in that palette - nice to see you’re getting good use out of it 👍🏼
@itsfi @CynthieLu My eyes were also drawn to the progess in the ND gold. Fantastic progress!
Right @Mellmars1185? I feel like the pan it challenge has made me so much more aware of use of products - mine and others. My eyes were scanning all the lovelies in @CynthieLu @photo and then it glued onto the very noticeable dips in that pretty gold duo - nice job working though that one cynthielu! 👍🏼 If that duo is anything like her eyeshadow palettes, there’s a lot of product there but you are making good use of it!
Thank you both, this little compact has got so many uses. Body, lips, face etc... very easy too use. 😉✨
This should be a really fun week of capsules. I think this theme is a fun one! @itsfi 😀
I leaned more into the golds and brought in the few reds I have, But I am thrilled I had enough to pull something together and I'm excited to play around with this bag of LNY themed goodies.
@CynthieLu Oh my gosh... this is such a beautiful capsule! I can't stop staring at the ND Glow Gold.... it's so... shiney!
@missjeanie Thank you ❤️ That ND highlighter duo is very illuminating, it is alot of fun too use. 😉✨ I think it'll do well with everything this week.
@CynthieLu Lovely red bag you chose for your LNY capsule. I am sure you will create some beautiful looks with everything. The butterflies on the Hourglass palette are so pretty.
Thank you 🙏 @Mellmars1185 I think this is the most visually appealing of any the capsules I've made so far with the challenge., I'm excited to play with this one. 😀
