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.
@cianni That's a great idea! Keeps both projects working together and keeping things fun!
The Quick & Easy Winter Edition Makeup Capsule ☃️
I picked some products for a more natural look -effortless-
Products:
@Lila12345678 - I have a container of LE Guerlain Meteorites from a numbers of years ago. I don't remember the name, but I absolutely love them! Unfortunately they're almost gone. 😔
@Lila12345678 Great picks! Can’t wait to see your looks!
@Lila12345678 I've always heard such good things about Nudestix, especially how quick and easy they are to use! Great selection here.
I usually prefer to use powder eyeshadows but when I’m in a hurry this Nudestix crayon eyeshadow comes in handy.
@Lila12345678, 😍😍😍😍😍 Effortless and stunning! Love your capsule!
Ugh, it crushes me that the Chanel lipstick is discontinued. There have been a few Chanel lippies that are sadly no longer in the brand's makeup line. Sigh.
i have this lipstick since a looooott of years. I store it preciously in a cool and dry place. The color and the scent is the same so I still use it💄
Oooh those little Guerlain beads. 🤩 @Lila12345678
I can really see these items making a simple effortless make up look.
They’re so pretty! They’re my favorite setting powder: they don’t make my face darker (i’m very pale) & they give me a glow 🌟 Also, the powder is not cakey and i don’t feel it on my skin.
Oooh I knew they must be fantastic @Lila12345678 😍😍😍
@Lila12345678 Beautiful photo. The Guerlain pearls look very special. These items will make for a beautiful, natural look.
Thank you! The Guerlain pearls are my all-time favorites! ⭐
Week 2: The Quick & Easy Winter Edition Makeup Capsule
The Products:
@itsfi Great picks for this week! I bet they will all work perfectly together! I love that you picked Sunny days as your base! It is the best! And Rhode peptide tint yes! Absolutely the best!!
Thank you @ather! I have a feeling there will not be very many, if any, declutters from this group. There are a lot of loved products in this bunch.
@itsfi I see so many products here that I love! I just cracked into the YSL Mascara in Blue. While I have way too many to open yet... I want to snag the black as well. That bag is so pretty for winter too!!
The YSL blue mascara is so pretty, isn't it @missjeanie?
"I have way too many to open yet" - hahahaha! Whatever do you mean, missjeanie? 😃 I feel like that could apply to so many beauty categories for me. The only categories it wouldn't apply to would be brow products, eyeliner, setting spray and maybe face primers. Wait, take that back, eyeliner is a maybe; not open but I have a feeling I have more than I think I do. 😂
I think I'm going to have to think about ways to repurpose some of these bags. Or, perhaps they will be decluttered to, at some point.
@itsfi Might be a nice way to pick out your capsules earlier? Choose items and then have them set aside?
Excellent idea @missjeanie! 👍🏼 I have been keeping a bag to collect items for the “best of the” month capsule. And I’m finding that there are products I’m wanting to keep the next week, so that’s telling as to the product as far as likelihood it will be one of the ones considered for inclusion in that final makeup capsule collection.
Your approach to this winter edition capsule is sooo strong, you've got a little something for everything. @itsfi ooh I think I'm already thinking of tweaking mine lol.
