Thanks for 2+ amazing years and some amazing collabs for the Makeup Challenge! I’ve updated some new themes for March and early April below. I hope you will join me in sharing your looks, flatlays, or tags for items you use in each challenge!
Upcoming Weekly Challenge:
Week 10 (Feb 24- March 2): Lunar/ Chinese New Year Looks - This is a little late but the 24th was the lantern festival, so I think we can still celebrate this week!
Week 11 (March 3-9): I’m Cold Makeup Trend - This one’s been on the list for a while and I would love to try it out and see your looks!
Week 12 (March 10-16): March Sentimental Items - Any makeup items that spark a memory or have sentimental value for any reason, big or small. Let us know what is special about these items!

Week 15 (March 31-April 6): Cartoon influence (i.e. Jem/she-ra/bratz/anime/etc) - I know I’m dating myself with Jem and She-ra but I thought it’d be fun to recreate a look from any cartoon!
Completed 2023 Weekly Challenges:
💗💗❤️❤️💗💗💗
We celebrated the One Year Anniversary of this thread in November!! Although, somehow the challenge ended up with 61 weeks in a year, I’m not sure how that happened, lol.
Anyway, I figure in year two, we’ll do some repeats and some new challenges. I also plan to add in some bonus hair challenges, maybe once a month.
Okay, for simplicity, I’m going to update the numbering to be Week 1 for the new year, I hope that is not too confusing. I’ll try to get 52 weeks in the year this time! I guess I also need to update the title for 2023.
Week 1 (Jan 1-7): Focus on brows week! Do a bold brow or shimmery brow or just spend more time on your brows this week. Inspired by @SportyGirly125
Week 2 (Jan 8-14): Rock a red lip week! If this is a regular for you, rock it as normal, or add a fun element, like gloss or add glitter/shimmer to it. Suggested by @JoSometimes
Week 3 (Jan 15-21): Shop your stash/forgotten favorites! Dig into your stash/archives for something you haven’t used in a long time and renew your love or re-evaluate)
Week 4 (Jan 22-28): Chopping block/declutter week! Are there any items that you have been wondering about getting rid of? Do they still work, bring joy, serve a purpose in your collection? No pressure to get rid of anything, but just want to dedicate a week to evaluate some items on the heels of forgotten favorites week!!
Week 5 (Jan 29-Feb 4): Skin prep/Complexion focus week! Take extra time this week with your skin prep. Exfoliate or use a hydrating mask prior to makeup, use a luminous or mattifying primer, foundation and/or setting spray. And/Or, focus this week on using a skincare device or skincare product if you’ve been neglecting one you own.
Week 6 (Feb 5-11): Get out of your comfort zone week! Suggested by @josometimes. This is a chance to try something new and experiment a little. If you love a red lip, try hot pink or neutral. If you love neutrals, maybe add some color. Or, wear a bolder look out to run errands or on a night out to gain confidence with a different look! Please feel free ask for tips and tricks if you’d like suggestions on techniques, color or product recommendations and share your experience and tips for others as you try something new.
Week 7 (Feb 12-18): Red/Pink/Shimmer/Glitter or whatever you want for Valentine’s/Galentines Day (inspired by @imaster
Week 8 (Feb 19-25): Pantone Color of the Year Viva Magenta week! I miss the past Sephora + Pantone collaborations, so let’s make our own.
Week 9 (Feb 26-Mar 4): Luxe brands or Luxe items. If it feels luxe to you or makes you feel fancy, use it and post it, whether it’s Target or Tom Ford, L’Oréal or La Mer!
Bonus Hair Challenge for February: Hot Rollers or Velcro Rollers and/or other techniques for volume.
Week 10 (March 5-11): Matchy matchy week! Match your makeup to your clothes, or jewelry or hair accessories, a scarf or something you wear! Inspired by @sportygirly
Week 11 (March 12-18): Green week! For St. Patrick’s Day, let’s show off all our green looks or otherwise Irish inspired looks! 💚💚🍀🍀
Week 12 (March 19-25): Use something in a different way (safely) - An opportunity to use your lipstick as blush, your eyeliner or eyebrow pencil on lips, be creative! (Just remember, some items are not tested and may not be safe for eyes or lips)
Week 13 (March 26-April 1): Cherry Blossom Week - while the peak bloom may vary around the world, let's use this week to be inspired by the beauty of the cherry blossoms. Oh, if you happen to live where you get to see the real cherry blossoms, please share those pics, too!
Week 14 (April 2-8): Spring Looks week! What makes you think of spring? Gloss, pastels, spring runway looks?
Week 15 (April 9-15): Holy Grail week! I think maybe @josometimes or @titian06 suggested this one? Use your Holy Grail products that are tried, tested and loved and be sure to share why it's a fave!
Week 16 & 17 (April 16-29)***: Sephora Spring sale - newness/or anything you haven’t gotten around to wearing/or shop your stash. (Note: I'm not sure when the Spring sale is happening, so I may move this one.) ETA: well, it's timed perfectly for shopping in store, though online purchases may not make it in time! Feel free to keep posting spring sale newness into the following weeks!
(***I made the executive decision to extend this one more week since orders are still coming in!)
Week 18 (April 30-May 6): Multichromes week! There have been so many great multi-chrome products and palettes lately, so let's make sure to showcase them!
Week 19 (May 7-13): April Showers bring May Flowers week! This can be a bright and springy look, or a rain-inspired look (or a combo of both!).
Week 20 (May 14-20): World Makeup! A look or trend from around the world. There are lots of K-beauty trends, like crying girl, popsicle/gradient lips, blush, something like a Parisian chic look, or anything else you can think of! (Suggested by @josometimes)
Week 21 (May 21-27): Barbiecore! I was actually never a fan of dolls or Barbies as a kid, and the flood of Barbie on Instagram recently was kind of annoying to me, but I also have a soft spot for pink and Barbie, so I thought I’d add to the challenge. Can be anything from subtle to all out Barbie.
Week 22 (May 28-June 3): Social Media Inspired! Recreate a look and/or create your own look inspired by an influencer you love, or use makeup to recreate a filter. Post a side by side to share with us.
Week 23 (June 4- 10): Festival! Go all out with Glitter / Color / Braids / Hair Accessories or go easy and fresh!
Week 24 (June 11-17): Earth Week! Highlight more sustainable or green makeup brands. Or even just a play on blue, green, or even earthy tones to celebrate the earth.This is a little out of order but summer is a great time to connect with and celebrate the earth! (Suggested by @josometimes)
Week 25 (June 18-24): Summer Solstice! Create a look based on whatever makes you think of summer, maybe a sunny look, bronzed beauty, or zodiac inspired look.
Week 26 (June 25-July 1): Celebrate Pride! I know pride events vary widely by cities, so if you happen to do a pride look in another week, feel free to post anytime!
Week 27 (July 2-8): 4th of July! Let’s see those red, white and blues., fireworks inspired or just summery BBQ looks.
For your summer slays, there will be some additional cheeky challenges - cheers to @danielledanielle for proposing this fun collab with the weekly challenge! Let's get cheeky, chicas and chicos!

Jan 21-27: Hot Toddy Week. Think bright and sultry, go for golds and honey or amber colors.
Jan 28-Feb 3: Espresso Martini\Martini Week. This is the martini look - green and shimmer, but you could also add a deep lip to it or go for brown or plum version.
Feb 3-10: Maiden's Blush or Cosmopolitan Week This is the one that started it - Maiden's Blush, by RMS beauty. It's coral, shimmery and warm.
Feb 11-17: Red Wine & Hot Chocolate - If you do partake in alcohol, try this it's delicious. The look speaks to red and brown, but again, you choose.
Feb 18-24: Pink Blush /Blush Wine - Essentially, this is a pink look, but pinks have all sorts of tones, so have fun playing with this, whether it's all pink or a pop of pink.

So, I could definitely (still) use some makeup inspiration these days and maybe you could too! Several years ago, we used to have some weekly makeup challenge threads, so I’m bringing one back. It’s a great way to spark some creativity and maybe most importantly, a great way to shop your stash!
I started with a list of some challenges below, but also happy to edit/rearrange/consider other ideas along the way. I hope you will join me! Feel free to post as many or as few times you’d like each week with photos of your looks. If you don’t like to post your face, feel free to do a flatlay of the products you used to do your look. Also, if you get behind or ahead, feel free to post pics whenever you have time.
Can’t wait to see all your looks! Have fun! Please feel free to suggest some other challenge ideas in the thread and we’ll add to the coming weeks!!
💕💗💕💗💕
Both colors look lovely on you, @Girly2Shoes ! ❤❤❤ You can definitely wear a red lip! 💋💄
@Thank you, my dear @Titian06 .
Hi, all! I'm sorry I haven't been participating. I'm back to full-time telework from home. I haven't had much need for makeup. 😁 Today I needed to run a number of errands so this was my chance. Unfortunately since the delivery person never knocks on the door, I didn't know my box o' goodies had been delivered until I left and saw it at my front door! 😖
Today I decided to wear my newer, more recently aquired makeup along with some tried and true.
LYS Beauty Triple Fix Serum Foundation LN3
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Value Size - 2 oz/ 60 mL
Bobbi Brown Skin Color Corrector & Brightening Concealer Stick Extra Light Bisque

PAT McGRATH LABS Venus in Fleurs Luxe Eyeshadow Palette: Voyeuristic Vixen (Lunar New Year version)

Urban Decay lip liner in clear
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Primer 0.1 oz/ 2.5 mL
Charlotte Tilbury Brow Cheat Refillable Hair-Like Eyebrow Pencil Soft Brown
LYS Beauty Higher Standard Satin Matte Cream Blush Classy
Benefit Coralista
Cinema Secrets loose setting powder
Guerlain Meteorites (LE from a few years ago)
@Titian06 everything sounds and looks gorgeous
Thanks, @lmaster ! It's kinda funny looking at such a long list of products and wondering, "Did I really use that much?" 🤣
@Titian06 I bet this looks stunning!
Thanks, @ather ! I was pleased with how it turned out.
Such a gorgeous list of products @Titian06 !! You had to look amazing! 😍😍😍
Thanks, @Saradestin ! 💖💖💖 I looked better than if I hadn't worn anything. 🤣
Thanks, @lmaster ! 💖💖💖 I think so too. 😁
So nice! I love Claudette so much! @Titian06
Spring Sale Week is a time to try out new products.
I try a sample of tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer 0.5 oz/ 14.2 g and liked it enough to buy full size. For my larger pores I liked it.
And I wanted to try the Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer with Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid My under eye darkness improved somewhat. But I am going to be mindful of how long it’s been opened. I’ve read and heard influencer’s say it can expire sooner than later.
I have been wanting a try this powder for several years. I made the purchase this time And it’s a really beautiful product. Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Setting and Finishing Powder 01 Original Mousseline Pastel .
And Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Glow Foundation I like the skincare it has and it’s so soft and lightweight.
Natasha Denona Mini Biba Eyeshadow Palette After seeing such beautiful eye looks with it I wanted to try it. These shadows are creamy and blendable.
I had rt eye surgery and can’t wear eye makeup as yet.
@Cissy63 Beautiful look! I forgot about the Tarte timeless primer. It’s such a great primer!! Hope your eye feels better soon!
I hope everything went great with your surgery @Cissy63 ! Those are great products for a gorgeous makeup!!
Yaaaaaaay for new products you love! @Cissy63 I hope your eye feels better and heals soon
That’s a great looking shade @Cissy63! Seeing a side by side comparison really shows what a difference makeup can make. And I hope recovery is coming along well!
So glad you like the Tarte Timeless! It’s the only one that works for my large pores. That color looks great, hope your eye heals quickly! @Cissy63
I am a week behind 😔. I have two holy grails. The Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 and LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C
I was so happy to find the sunscreen. It doesn’t react with my skincare nor my makeup. And I can use it as a primer too!
The sleeping mask does wonders for my dry lips. My lips are not dry and cracked when I wake up.
plus both of these sizes last a really long time!
@Cissy63 You picked 2 awesome products! Can’t go wrong with either!!
